Hello Games has released a new update for its interstellar adventure game No Man’s Sky, and this one is particularly unique, bringing the joys of music to the vast loneliness of outer space.
Update 2.21, which is available in-game right now, adds a new feature known as the ByteBeat Device, which is essentially an audio creation utility that allows players to place a stave of notes, before fine-tuning adjustments such as pitch, length, and tempo. Once the player has the required blueprint, the ByteBeat can be placed in-game and, with a little dedication, can be programmed to play music, complete with backing beats, and giving your explorer something to chill out to while gazing upon NMS’ colourful vistas.
