Two No Man’s Sky players found themselves on the same planet and arranged to meet up in the game, GameRant reports.
While the two players were definitely on the same planet, they quickly discovered that they were experiencing completely different times of day, even when standing in the same location.
They also could not see each other, despite both players being on the same planet and standing in the same spot.
This lead No Man’s Sky gamers to believe that the two players are in fact on different servers and may never be able to meet.
The mechanics of No Man’s Sky’s multiplayer system are largely unknown, with Sean Murray of Hello Games stressing that the game is not meant to be a multiplayer title.
No Man’s Sky is currently available on PlayStation 4 and will be available on 12 August for PC.
