No Man's Sky PC and PS4 Premium Versions Announced

In addition to the standard $60 version of No Man's Sky for PC and PlayStation 4, fans who want to spend more will be able to. Sony also today announced an $80 Limited Edition PS4 version for retail, while iam8bit and developer Hello Games have partnered to make a $150 "Explorer's Edition" for the PC edition.

The Limited Edition comes with the game in a steelbook case, as well as the following content:

• Adventures in No Man's Sky Comic - Featuring two stories set in the No Man's Sky universe, with contributions from Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Star Trek: Titan writer James Swallow, and sci-fi illustrator Angus McKie
• The Art of No Man's Sky - 48 page art book featuring a host of concept art
• PS4 Dynamic Theme - Immerse yourself in the world of No Man's Sky with this unique PlayStation®4 system theme with beautiful abstract art inspired by the game's vast, mysterious universe.
• Bonus In-game DLC:
  • PHOTONIX CORE - An advanced ship boost that will speed up your voyage as you travel through the stars.
  • TRADER CHARISMA - Receive a bonus set of valuable resources to gain an advantage in selling and trading.
  • BOLTCASTER SM - Secure access to a powerful weapon blueprint, perfect for defending against hostile lifeforms and Sentinels.

The $150 Explorer's Edition is described as a "lovingly crafted package, designed to evoke a sense of space nostalgia via the inclusion of a tin toy-style ship replica."

Its centerpiece is a metal cast ship replica. iam8bit said it's "spared no expense" to achieve "hyper-detail" for this ship, which is hand-painted. The bundle also comes with some decals you can apply to the ship's body, while it also features a removable background display.

The Explorer's Edition is limited to 10,000 units, so if you're interested, you may want to preorder soon. Note that this version comes with a PC code you can redeem through Steam.
