No Man’s Skyfans who have the VR version of the game no longer need to pause their favorite shows, as a recent video demonstrates that the interior of a spaceship can house a virtual TV, so players can keep watching while exploring the cosmos. Known for having one of thebiggest open worlds in all of gaming, Hello Games' space-faring release has had quite the redemptive arc, going from being an overly hyped disappointment to an immersive experience with a dedicated following.
Not only that, butNo Man’s Skyis one of the best PS VR2 gamesaround, offering up even more immersion than the standard game. The fact that the vanilla release has so much content already, with around 18 quintillion discoverable planets spread across a seemingly endless galaxy, means it can easily draw the player with its visuals alone. Adding a virtual reality headset to that only enhances things. Along the journey, many may opt for long periods of relaxation, taking slow trips to the next planet, so it makes sense that players may want something to do while they drift through space.

In a recent post on Reddit, user manicmastiff81 uploaded a brief clip of theirNo Man’s Skyplaythrough. In the footage, they are piloting their ship as it makes its way to a nearby space station. However, the difference here is that they have managed to place a screen inside their cockpit, which is allowing them to watch an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. While manicmastiff81’s clip is short, it goes some way to show that such a thing is possible in the VR version of the game. According to the Reddit user, watching TV inNMScan be achieved by opening the desired content, such as a YouTube video, and mounting the desktop onto the wrist. In this case, they used SteamVR, but it seems it’s also possible to do it in PS VR2, according to user DalekSnare. Viewers should be warned that the attached video contains some strong language.
Since releasing in 2016,No Man’s Skyhas offered a range of free updates, adding so much more to a game that a lot of people considered bland and empty when it first launched, despite how vast it is. The developer has managed to build a loyal community over the years, essentially undoing the initial damage that many expected would tank the game’s chances of success.
Given this redemptive arc, it’s easy to see why it’s now considered afantastic game despite a disastrous launch. Over the course of nearly seven years, the studio has managed to make amends, andNo Man’s Skyis enjoyed as the ambitious sci-fi title that was promised back in the day.
No Man’s Skyis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
