This year’s E3 has been an onslaught of console exclusives, but it looks like one title previously thought to be either exclusive or timed-exclusive to PlayStation 4 will be getting a simultaneous PC release. During E3’s first ever PC Game Show on Tuesday, Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray confirmed that the highly anticipated No Man’s Sky would be coming to the PC.

“We were actually going to announce a release date at E3, but for reasons we can’t,” Murray said. “But we’ll announce the release date soon, and when we announce that release date it will be for PS4 and PC at the same time.”

At first glance, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky appears to be a traditional space sim like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen, but while the game does feature plenty of space exploration and combat, it also has a heavy focus on planetary exploration.

Players can discover new star systems that have never been visited before and land on planets to explore what they have to offer. The scale of No Man’s Sky is massive thanks to its procedurally generated galaxy, which allowed a team of about 10 people to create a game with over 18 quintillion possible worlds. By comparison, our own Milky Way Galaxy is estimated to contain only around 100 billion planets.

Murray joked that he had been told No Man’s Sky sounded like a game designed by a child, with a ridiculously huge scope and features from several different games melded into one. “I don’t know how to take that, ” Murray laughed. “I guess, yeah. Probably that’s true. We grew up playing games like Elite, stuff like that. I guess [No Man’s Sky], for me at least, is the game I imagined at the time.”
