"No Man's Sky" is now reportedly available to be pre-ordered.

According to China Topix, the game has apparently appeared on Amazon UK and players can now start to pre-order the highly anticipated science fiction adventure title.

The listing that has appeared on Amazon UK indicates that the game is now currently available to be pre-ordered for both the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and personal computer (PC), which is what has been announced for "No Man's Sky."

Aside from the news that the game is now available for pre-order, arguably the most interesting aspect of the Amazon UK listing is the price of "No Man's Sky." If the listing is indeed accurate, then that would mean that people can pre-order the game for the unusually high price of $73.

Even with the game coming with a high price tag, many are still expected to purchase the game when it is available due to its unique gameplay elements.

"No Man's Sky" will be featuring perhaps the most expansive universe to be found in any video game, and aside from the enormous space to be explored, there are also several parts of it that will warrant further exploration.

In a recent interview with IGN, Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, "No Man's Sky's" developer, talked about some of the more interesting parts of the game's inner universe.

According to Murray, players will be able to see a vast assortment of planets inside the game, each with its own unique characteristics that are worth seeing firsthand. He also revealed that these planets will also be presenting players with challenges in the form of different weather systems, making their stays either incredibly relaxing or chaotic beyond belief.

The universe inside "No Man's Sky" will also have a living, breathing economy that players will need to understand completely in order to succeed in the game.

The official release date of "No Man's Sky" is expected to be announced soon.
