This is almost certainly corresponding to changes made for the new game that they decided to merge into NMS too, because why not? Since they use very similar technology it only makes sense. Improve the previous game, increasing sales, while also generating goodwill with users that prove you'll work on your games for years to come, all with the only cost being what it takes to integrate stuff you were going to make anyway.
