No Man's Sky is an expansive space exploration game that allows players to traverse the galaxy in search of new planets, resources, and encounters.

However, getting started with No Man's Sky co-op is a bit tricky as one needs to tinker with a bunch of in-game settings. If you're new to the game and looking for a way to hop into No Man's Sky co-op mode, then look no further.

How To Enable Multiplayer in No Man's Sky

To enable multiplayer, players need to go to settings and ensure that the Network Multiplayer option is enabled. Although it's by default set to enabled, players should check to make sure it's turned on before moving forward.
