What Is No Man’s Sky Refund Policy?

Hello Games advise you to contact the store you bought the game from—Xbox, Steam, PlayStation, or Good Old Games—and follow their instructions to request a refund. Here is the refund policy of each of the stores:

Steam Refund Policy

You can request a refund for a game on Steam in the first 14 days after purchasing the game, and with under two hours of playtime.

You’ll receive the refund either through the payment method used for the purchase (JCB, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) or in Steam Wallet funds—it depends on your choice and the country you live in.

PlayStation Store Refund Policy

You’re eligible for a PlayStation refund if you request it in the first 14 days, but only if you haven’t downloaded or streamed the game.

Your money will be credited to the payment method used for the purchase.

Xbox Refund Policy

Xbox refund is available only in the first 14 days after the purchase and if you have less than two hours of gameplay. Another condition is that you need to launch the game at least once before requesting a refund.

Xbox will credit the refund to the original payment provider. You can track your refund request status in your order history.

Good Old Games Refund Policy

You can request a GOG refund in the first 30 days after buying the game.

GOG will also refund your money to the original payment provider used for the purchase.

How Long Will It Take to Receive a Refund for No Man’s Sky?

The waiting period for your No Man’s Sky refund depends on the platform you purchased the game and requested the refund from.

  • Steam—You’ll receive a refund within seven to 14 days of the refund approval
  • PlayStation—Expect to be refunded eight to ten business days after sending the request
  • Xbox—You’ll get the response from the support team after 72 hours, and the refund after a few business days
  • Good Old Games—The waiting period depends on your payment method—Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, or Paysafecard. The refunds credited to AMEX, Visa, or Mastercard will take a few business days. If you used PayPal to pay for No Man's Sky, they will notify you via email once GOG sends your refund. Paysafecard users are usually international gamers, and the time between their refund request and payment will be the longest.

Potential Issues When Requesting Refunds for No Man’s Sky on Steam

Because of a highly upvoted Reddit post, many gamers think that Steam will automatically offer a full refund even after they play No Man’s Sky for more than two hours, despite Steam’s policy.

Steam has emphasized that their standard refund policy—requesting a refund within 14 days with less than two hours of gameplay—is still valid for No Man’s Sky. That message is visible before you purchase the game.

Another issue shows up when you want to request a refund for in-game purchases. You can request it in the first 48 hours, and only if you haven’t changed, used, or transferred the item.

Issues You Could Encounter While Requesting a No Man’s Sky Refund on Other Platforms

These are some of the problems you may come across if you purchased the game from other gaming platforms:

  • PlayStation—Once you start downloading the game, you can’t get a refund unless the product is “faulty”
  • Xbox—If you’re requesting refunds too often, Microsoft could think that you’re taking advantage of them. In that case, they can refuse to approve future refund requests
  • Good Old Games—Even though GOG guarantees a full refund for any game, they will still try to fix the issues you have first. The company will offer a refund only if they can’t solve the problems that you have with No Man’s Sky or any other game. Another case where GOG won’t approve the refund is if the game doesn’t work because your device’s system doesn’t meet its requirements. These specifications are already written and explained on the product page, and that's why GOG won't approve the refund
