"No Man's Sky" is among the most eagerly anticipated arrivals of next year, but there's still relatively little actually known about the game, including how players can actually clear it.

"No Man's Sky" is mainly about giving players the opportunity to venture further into its vast universe, so many of them have asked how it would be possible to actually know that they have completed it.

In a recent clip released for the game, "No Man's Sky" creator Sean Murray revealed that the only real way for players to be able to say that they have beaten the game is to reach its centermost point, Design and Trend reported. This means that players will have to somehow navigate through the many planets, stars, and celestial debris to find the path that leads straight into the heart of the game's expansive universe.

While that may sound simple at first, Murray indicated that players will most likely take a long time before they make their way to the center of the game's universe. The main reason, according to Murray, is because players will first need to upgrade their ships and their hyperdrives to the point that they can actually endure the long trek.

Aside from the challenge of upgrading their ships, players will also have to figure out how to locate the resources needed to do so. Most of the resources needed to upgrade the ships are found on planets inside "No Man's Sky" and making it through those won't be too easy either.

According to Alphr, players cannot simply raid a planet for its resources and then upgrade their ships that easily. Those planets will be guarded by robotic sentinels, and they will attack players who are being harmful to the ecosystem, including the animal inhabitants.

Players will have to figure out the most efficient way to make it to the center of the "No Man's Sky" universe when the game launches in June 2016.
