No Man's Sky is a 2016 game released by Hello Games. It is a sandbox-like sci-fi game where players may explore a vast endless universe, interacting with alien flora and sentient alien races. Despite a mixed reception on the game's original release, it has attracted a dedicated fan following due to the many possibilities offered by its extensive universe, from exploration to collaborative play to roleplay.
The fandom is mostly based on Reddit, the No Man's Sky fan wiki, and within the game itself. Dedicated fans catalogue as much of the game's randomly generated worlds and creatures as possible. Outside of this, there are roleplayers in the game and Reddit forums, with the largest and oldest No Man's Sky roleplaying group being The Galactic Hub.
There are also many fan videos on YouTube using a Machinima-like playstyle, and the creation of original characters is popular among the No Man's Sky Tumblr community.
