When Hello Games officially delayed No Man's Sky one week ago we were told that the game would launch August 12th in the UK and August 10th in the rest of Europe. The Brits didn't like the thought of waiting two days longer before starting their space adventure, and made Sony aware of this. They listened.
PlayStation UK made the announcement on their Twitter account: "Thank you for your feedback, we've been working with retailers and #NoMansSky will now launch on Aug 10th, the same as other EU countries."
