No Man's Sky's massive Day One Update overhauls the entire game

Hello Games has released the details of the No Man's Sky Day One update.

I thought it was 9 August for US and 10 August for UK?

It seems to have been slightly delayed (again). The most recent reports say that it will release on 9 Aug for PS4 and 12 Aug for PC.

No Man’s Sky Launches Worldwide August 12th
7 AUGUST - HG_HELLO
Earlier I tweeted to clarify the No Man’s Sky PC release date.

The worldwide release date will be August 12th in all countries.

Unfortunately, this means we took a tough decision to push the US and UK PC release dates back by 2-3 days to match the existing worldwide release date of August 12th. Our aim is still to give you the best game we possibly can, and the magnitude of this task is never more apparent than the week before release, especially with such a small team already working round the clock.

Work hasn’t stopped on making No Man’s Sky better since we went gold, despite some serious unexpected challenges of the last few weeks. The team were up until 6am this morning working hard at it and will continue to put in whatever hours it takes to get it out on the 12th.

For a variety of reasons, the 12th was also the earliest date we could have as a global release date. It was important to us that all PC players have the opportunity to start playing and posting discoveries at the same time.

If it makes the wait any easier, we’ve also just announced the contents of our first update, which will be available for all players at launch. You can read more about it here:

To the loyal community who’s stuck by our side since the unveiling of No Man’s Sky years ago, we hope you’ll accept our sincere apology and I am humbly asking that you’ll still look forward to exploring our universe despite the slight delay.

Thank you for your patience,
Sean

Not sure if this is the original source, but it's where I found it.

Yeah sorry, I was referring to the PS4 version specifically. As far as I know it's the 9'th in the US and the 10'th in the UK (and therefor us in SA). Nevertheless, as long as I can has it before weekend ^_^
