Hot on the heels of a report earlier this week that the procedurally generated sci-fi game from Hello Games might miss its projected June release date, official confirmation comes by way of Sony. No Man's Sky now lists August 9, 2016 as its official release date on its PlayStation Store page, where users can pre-order digital and physical editions.

Given the prominent placement of No Man's Sky thus far, representatives from Sony and Hello Games will no doubt elaborate on the reasons for the delay in a few weeks at E3, if not sooner.
