Last week Hello Games officially revealed that development on the long awaited No Man's Sky had come to an end (at least on the core game) – the game had gone gold. Every PlayStation 4 and PC owner planning on playing the game can rest assured that more delays will be hitting the game, it's ready for release.
Hello Games' founder, Sean Murray, has revealed another interesting detail for No Man's Sky disc – it only contains 6GB of data, most of which is audio.
For those asking – size of No Man's Sky on disc is just 6GB. A lot of that is audio (⌐■_■)

While the disc itself only contains 6GB of data, there's no confirmation on how much space the day one update will require. Some games release with the core game included on the disc, the multiplayer features come as a download – which means a hefty sized download.
Hello Games is currently working on the update No Man's Sky.
Well, waiting for a build to upload really. Actually we're already busy on Update 1
