Cross-Save, PS5 Pro and...the return of the Normandy!

7. nov.

Hello,

This year has already been a very busy one for No Man’s Sky, with 6 updates already this year, including the huge Worlds Update[www.nomanssky.com]. Our last update, The Cursed[www.nomanssky.com], dropped just a couple of weeks ago, and players have been loving the spooky Halloween vibe.

In game development some features take weeks or months, and others take years. Today we are releasing some features that have been years in the making.

Cross-Save

Starting from today we are rolling out Cross-Save support on all platforms. This has been a huge undertaking, and is one of most requested features.

Being able to jump seamlessly between platforms is really transformative. Players can play from the comfort of their sofa on console, continue an Expedition on the move with Switch or Steam Deck, build an incredible base on their beefy PC rig, and view it in incredibly immersive Virtual Reality.

No Man’s Sky now supports Cross-play and Cross-save between a huge number of platforms including PC, PlayStation 4 & Xbox One and Series X/S, Game Pass, GOG, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, PlayStation VR 1 & 2 and PCVR.

Adding the ability to transfer saves between platforms via a server is especially difficult for No Man’s Sky, as the work involved increases with each platform supported and how long folks have already been playing for. Both those numbers are large for our tiny team.

It’s very common for players to rack up thousands of hours of saves exploring across space, building elaborate bases and cataloging their discoveries, with incredibly detailed saves. Adding Cross-Save for us is a little bit like moving house, the longer people have lived there the more complicated it is to move them! We also have players who played once at launch, eight years ago, suddenly loading up that save on a platform that didn’t even exist back then!

For these reasons we have secretly been introducing the technology for this update for over 6 months. We are now ready to start rolling Cross-Save out to a small number of players. From today, all No Man’s Sky players can connect their different platform accounts together at https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save. A subset of players will then be admitted to the beta. Participants in the beta will be able to upload and download saves from any connected platform, via the in-game save screen. In the coming weeks, all players will be invited to do so.

PlayStation 5 Pro

PlayStation 5 Pro releases today and is an incredible feat of engineering. We were so excited to get our hands on it from early days of development. We couldn’t wait to see what was possible in No Man’s Sky with so much power at our disposal!

We're excited to be able to share an enhanced version of No Man's Sky for PlayStation 5 Pro with players at launch. Bringing even more detail and higher image quality than ever possible on console before.

PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) allows for incredible upscaling to provide crisp 4K resolution at 60fps. No Man's Sky will also be an early supporter of 8k resolution, with the universe looking incredible in 8K at 30fps.

As well as a much sharper resolution at higher framerates, the increased power of the PlayStation 5 Pro has enabled us to ramp up the graphical quality across the board. Players on PlayStation 5 Pro will see improved lighting, with ultra quality reflections and higher quality ambient occlusion in all modes. Explore the most beautiful and detailed alien worlds No Man's Sky has to offer, for the first time on console.

Not only this, but all of these improvements also come to PSVR2! With our most stunning virtual reality imagery offering an even more immersive experience for Travellers amongst the stars.

The small team at Hello Games like nothing more than to play around with new technology. From supporting our players on first generation hardware, right back to Switch and PlayStation 4, to the highest end PCs, next generation consoles, and now support for cutting edge PlayStation Pro 5 is available at launch as another free update.

The PlayStation Pro update was already pushed live quietly in The Cursed update, so if you already have hardware, you can play it NOW!

The Normandy Returns

Everyone here at Hello Games is a huge sci-fi nerd. One of our absolute favourite series is the incredible Mass Effect games. To join in Mass Effect’s annual N7 celebrations, we are pleased to welcome the legendary SSV Normandy SR1 back into No Man’s Sky!

It was back in 2021 that the Normandy made its first appearance in one of the first expeditions we ever ran. The limited-time expedition starts today, runs for two weeks and culminates in players being able to claim the Normandy for their fleet.

In the intervening years since that event, we have welcomed a huge number of Travellers, not least a whole new cohort of Switch players and an increasingly large number of Chinese fans. Many of these new players have envied those who proudly displayed their Normandy in their frigate collection.

Mass Effect fans know that this legendary frigate only appears when it is most needed! Today, and for the next two weeks, as a love-letter from one science fiction game to another, we are giving everyone another chance to encounter the Normandy in an overhauled version of the original mission and add it to their collection.

Huge thanks to our friends at EA and BioWare for helping make this happen.

It has been a momentous year for No Man’s Sky in a number of ways. We’re so grateful to be able to continue this journey with you.

Don't forget to wishlist Light No Fire here!

Our journey continues.

Introducing..The Cursed Expedition!

23. okt.

Hello Everyone!

Our last update saw players enjoying a nice chilled time, fishing in No Man's Sky. Our next update couldn't be more different! As we approach Halloween, we are embracing the spookier side of the No Man's Sky Universe, drawing upon threads first established way back in Atlas Rises[www.nomanssky.com], when ancient portals began to open and the boundaries between realities first began to crumble…

Today, we are announcing expedition sixteen: The Cursed[www.nomanssky.com] - where players will fight to keep a grip on reality while haunted by visions and voices from another dimension. Full patch notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com].

The Cursed takes place in a sort of twilight realm, straddling the boundary between one reality and the next.

Travellers will not have access to hyperdrive technology, meaning no warping between star systems. Instead, interstellar travel can only take place via the ancient portal network.

Haunting voices, leaking through from another dimension, will provide guidance, information, strange blueprints… and mystery. It is up to you to decide who these voices belong to, where they are coming from, and if they are to be trusted.

In regular No Man’s Sky play, Travellers must steel themselves against a variety of environmental hazards such as extreme temperatures, radioactivity, and toxic atmospheres. The Cursed, however, pits you against a single, more insidious threat: the weakening of the boundaries of reality. Your exosuit comes fitted with a specialised Anomaly Suppressor; maintain it to stay firmly in this reality.

Spectral anomalies - ghostly creatures drifting across the boundaries - will gather to watch Travellers moving through their domain. Most of the time, they are simply there to observe, but be warned: as your suit’s Anomaly Suppressor weakens, time will begin to behave in non-linear ways, and these anomalies may turn hostile.

Travellers will need to prepare a number of otherworldly concoctions to navigate through The Cursed. Sustain boundary strength with the Elixir of Glass, reveal the location of portals with the Elixir of Quicksilver, and prise open the gateways with the Elixir of Blood. For those that reach the end of the journey, its final trial will require a drink from the Elixir of Water - and the consequences thereafter.

The Cursed expedition begins today, and will run for approximately two weeks. Travel beyond the boundaries, and fortify your mind against spectral anomalies - or succumb to the call of the world of glass.

The Cursed Expedition Rewards

Boundary Anomaly, Portal Breach and Glyph Posters

Remember your journey across the boundaries with these decorative posters: warnings to all those who would venture into the tunnels of the portal network.

Anomaly Seal Base Part

During The Cursed, the spectral energy radiating from this ancient artifact protects nearby entities against catastrophic reality breaches.

In a more stable universe, the Anomaly Seal serves as a decorative souvenir from beyond the boundaries.

Ink-Stained Jetpack Trail

An exclusive jetpack customisation. A localised anomaly within the jetpack's core allows the spectral afterglow of the boundary horrors to leak across into this reality.

Boundary Horror Mandibles

An exclusive Exosuit Appearance Override. Transform your facade into that of a Boundary Horror, a fragment of what dwells beyond the tunnels of the portal network...

Bioluminescent Companion

The egg of a gelatinous and luminescent lifeform. This unusual companion creature is lit by a haunting pale glow.

Boundary Herald Starship

Retrieve this exclusive starship from the reality collapse, and slice through the skies in saucer-like style.

Development Update

The Cursed expedition is our sixth named update for 2024, following Omega[www.nomanssky.com], Orbital[www.nomanssky.com], Adrift[www.nomanssky.com], Worlds Part I[www.nomanssky.com], and Aquarius[www.nomanssky.com]. It has been a busy year so far! It’s incredible to think that only a few weeks ago, fishing didn’t exist in No Man’s Sky.

We are continuing to build our universe, and have much more in store. Thank you for playing.

Introducing...No Man's Sky Aquarius

4. sep.

Hello Everyone!

Today, the Aquarius Update[www.nomanssky.com] is free to download for existing players and introduces something we have been tempted to add ever since we stood on the shores of No Man’s Sky’s planets and looked out across their watery expanses - fishing! Full patch notes are available here[www.nomanssky.com].

Players can now explore the universe to find their perfect waterside spot, hopping with fish - sit and relax alone with their thoughts, or with fellow Travellers looking out over alien vistas waiting for a bite.

Fishing

Fishing in No Man’s Sky is a uniquely relaxing experience, either alone with your thoughts or with the companionship of others. Grab a rod and your friends (optional!) and set out to explore the universe in the hunt for the perfect fishing spot.

The thrill of the catch lies in the fact that you never quite know what you’re going to pull up. The variety of aquatic life ranges vastly from common minnow-like fish to huge alien marine mammals. Catches vary greatly from planet-to-planet and dedicated anglers will have to travel far to find the rarest of fish.

Exo-Skiff

Venture into the ocean on your deployable Exo-Skiff. This customisable fishing platform floats over the roughest seas and has its own bespoke cold storage inventory, making it the perfect way to hunt for those fish that are only found in deep waters.

Explore to find rare catches

Travellers who wish to complete their fishing log will have to explore a huge range of different environments and water conditions, as well as crafting specialist bait to attract rare catches and elusive legendary fish…

And while you’re waiting patiently to catch a bite, why not dredge for messages in bottles from those that have passed this way before?

Automated Fish Traps

Research the Automated Trap blueprints and establish your own autonomous floating fish farm to gather in fish while you explore elsewhere.

Aquarius Expedition

The Aquarius expedition begins today, and will run for approximately six weeks. Go on a quest across the galaxy to catch fish, gather stories, and think about the one that got away… Players who complete the Aquarius expedition will earn a beautifully detailed set of deep-sea customisation parts, including a unique underwater jetpack.

New Cooking Recipes

Of course, with this new-found ability to farm the lakes, seas and oceans, you will want to develop your cooking skills, with all-new recipes and ingredient combinations out there to be discovered.

Fishing Records

The Wonders Catalogue now has a dedicated collection of fishing information, detailing the history of all your catches and their weight records, as well as information on how to find each species.

Deep-Sea Diving Suit

Hardened against the extreme conditions found beneath the waves, this diving suit is the perfect choice for both deep-water exploration and an afternoon's fishing.

Aquarius Poster Collection

Decorate the walls of your fishing shack with the Sea Chart, Bounty of the Sea and Gone Fishin' posters.

Lost Angler’s Rig

Complete the Aquarius Expedition to uncover the fishy tale of the Lost Angler and earn the use of their exclusive fishing equipment.

Tentacled Figurine

A synthetic polymer companion for your starship’s cockpit, fashioned in the likeness of a sea creature.

Aquarius Flight Pack

Hardened against the extreme conditions found beneath the waves, this jetpack replacement allows for smooth and stylish passage through the murky abyss.

Development Update

Our last update was “Worlds Part I[www.nomanssky.com]” just a few weeks ago. It resulted in our biggest player numbers in over 5 years. Eight years in and we feel so lucky to have so many folks still care about this game we love. It gives our tiny team energy, making us want to pour more into the No Man’s Sky universe.

Something people really loved in the Worlds update was the new water technology - tons of players were posting videos of themselves just chilling at the water’s edge. One piece of fan art in particular stopped us in our tracks, of a player lazily fishing from their wing of their starship. This art, and others like it, was right at the heart of the inspiration behind the Aquarius update.

My favourite thing is to build a little base on the perfect shoreline, so I can cast my rod whenever the mood takes me. I’m excited for new players to join me!

Full patch notes for Aquarius are available here[www.nomanssky.com].

Our journey continues.

Introducing Worlds Part I - the 5.0 update

17. juli

Hello!

I’m here to give you a heads up about the largest No Man’s Sky update of the year so far. So much so that we’ve made the usual trailer, and also this Deep Dive video that shows a glimpse behind the scenes.

Our next update is called Worlds Part I, and I’m so proud of the team here, the love they are putting into it. We are refreshing the universe with new technology, new flora, new fauna and new gameplay.

Full patch notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com]

In No Man’s Sky, what you see on screen is generated by the computer. The level of variety we are achieving is far beyond what was possible before.

With every update we still want to surprise. Eight years in on this journey and we still want to do big things, and I think we’re adding things the community has almost given up hope on ever happening. It’s not just about new cosmetics for us, we want to really impact No Man’s Sky.

When we started No Man’s Sky, we wanted people to feel like they had stepped into a science fiction book cover. To bring us closer to that we’ve had to create a lot of new technology.

New water technology can create waves, reflections. Oceans that look so different to what we’ve had previously. Ocean planets feel completely new, and ships can now land on water. Planets have wind patterns. Waves are dynamic and react to weather

My favourite thing in the game still might just be flying through the clouds and out into space. Clouds for us are a unique challenge, you see them from space, from planet, you can fly through them. Our new cloud tech creates detailed skies with weather conditions. You get these beautiful detailed skies, with tonnes of variety.

On the surface of the planet we’ve added new volumetrics and atmospherics. Rolling fog, rain, blizzards, lava sparks, combine with wind and clouds. It changes how planets feel to explore, adds so much more life.

Sometimes a storm hits, and you see the waves rise and the clouds gather. The new wind, the clouds, the oceans, the atmospherics all hit together and it feels like nothing else.

Across these new biomes, we’ve added new creatures to discover. We are pushing the level of variety that’s possible even further. It’s not enough to just add more, we want to do things that people haven’t seen before. And of course, these new creatures can all be pets and mounts.

No Man's Sky is a game about exploring, so how planets look and feel is important, but what you do on those planets is something we want to add to with every update. Expeditions have become a huge part of how folks play the game. We’ve made something very Starship Troopers inspired with this one, it’s really different and it takes you on a tour of some of these cool new planets. Everyone is battling against bugs together, and progress is community driven. There’s a new mech with heavy armour and a cool flamethrower arm. And you are going to need it!

Six months ago we announced Light No Fire. You can wishlist it hereIt’s this insanely ambitious game. Over the last five years making this game, we’ve learnt new things, and we’re feeding that back into No Man’s Sky. It feels like we’re bringing technology back from the future!

Something I love is to browse the screenshots people share with us. I can’t wait to see folks exploring this universe we’ve made with fresh eyes. The update is called Worlds Part I, because I guess obviously…more will follow.

The Adrift Expedition is now on!

29. mai

Hello!

A lot has changed in the years since No Man’s Sky released. There’s so much we love about the game now, but there was something unique at release in how alone you felt in the universe. Going further back I have great memories of early unreleased versions of No Man’s Sky where there were no NPCs, no shops, no help… just you the player as a tiny dot lost in the infinite.

For our next update we wanted to allow players to experience an alternative universe. We are calling it ADRIFT[www.nomanssky.com], and for the first time players can be truly alone in No Man’s Sky. We think it’s a special feeling. Full details can be found here[www.nomanssky.com].

Removing other lifeforms means no shops, no trading, no shortcuts and no help, providing a very different survival experience.

This alternative universe is more dangerous too, with sandworms now roaming free and fiend eggs spreading across planets.

Buildings are broken and rusted, the few remaining landmarks the graves of lost Travellers. In space, a new ghostly frigate beckons, allowing players to recruit a piece of this lonely universe.

To help provide safe haven is a new bulky Hauler starship, called the Iron Vulture. Since we added ship customisation in our last update, we’re also seeding the game with lots of new customisation options in Adrift.

Adrift was supposed to be our next expedition, which it is, but it’s ballooned out into an update filled with improvements, new unique gameplay content and rewards.

We're already two huge updates into the year, with the release of OMEGA[www.nomanssky.com] - where we invited everyone to try the game for free! - and ORBITAL[www.nomanssky.com], which overhauled space stations and introduced a long-requested feature: ship customisation. We are grateful to have such an incredible community; it has been exciting and fascinating to see you all hunting, salvaging and documenting the hundreds of starship components available to assemble your dream ships.

We have much, much more planned for 2024. Our journey continues.

Sean

Adrift Expedition

Step into an empty universe, where you will find yourself surrounded by other Travellers… yet somehow still alone.

Though everyone will awaken on the desolate, worm-infested planet Iapezuk, you will not be together in the usual sense. The boundaries between realities have thickened. Communication is consumed by static. Even the usually-bustling Space Anomaly is eerily silent.

In this forsaken universe, deprived of the usual support from merchants and traders, self-reliance is more critical than ever. Survive a spread of repair, exploration, and combat challenges - and meditate upon the darkness of deep space.

Completing this lonely journey will award an exclusive range of collectibles, including the gnawing scuttler companion, a supply of starship stealth paint, a ghostly frigate, and the unique Iron Vulture starship

Adrift begins today, and will run for approximately seven weeks.

Adrift Expedition Rewards

Meditation, Alone in the Dark, and Isolation Posters

Contemplate your journey through Adrift with posters that recall the empty endless void of space and the scale of that infinite, black expanse...

Stealth Paint

An exclusive starship customisation option, creating a unique low-radar-signature look for your ship.

Starship Wreckage Base Parts

Create a scrapyard aesthetic in habitable bases with these shattered remains of a crashed starship.

Gnawing Scuttler Companion

A vile and nightmarish creature, extracted from the derelict shell of a once-glorious freighter. Despite its dark origins, this companion is trained to be non-violent towards its assigned master.

Ship of the Damned

The remains of a long-abandoned frigate. Despite its ruined condition, with no apparent crew, it sails on through the stars...

Iron Vulture

Transport vast quantities of cargo across the galaxy in this stylish high-capacity Hauler, featuring a unique silhouette and industrial metal finish.

Introducing...No Man's Sky: ORBITAL

27. mars

Hello,

Only last month we welcomed a huge number of new Travellers to the No Man’s Sky universe with our free OMEGA[www.nomanssky.com] expedition, which brought a tonne of new content. It’s incredible to watch new folks getting to experience eight years of updates since launch.

Today (March 27th) we are releasing our 27th major update - ORBITAL[www.nomanssky.com] - and this is a big one! Full patch notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com].

The Orbital update brings a complete overhaul to Space Stations. Until now these have been perhaps the only part of No Man’s Sky that wasn’t procedurally generated. Engine improvements have allowed us to create vast interior spaces and exterior spaces, with improved reflection and metallic surfaces.

Outside, Space Station exteriors are at a scale never seen before, and are hugely varied.

Inside, Stations have been transformed, and are now vast, procedurally generated, and incredibly diverse. Featuring new shops, gameplay and activities, Stations are now uniquely customised based on system, race and locale.

Stations also contain perhaps our most requested feature of all time! A ship editor allows players to customise their ships and players can even create never before seen starship types.

We haven’t introduced ship customisation previously, because so many players love exploring to find the perfect ship already out there to purchase. In keeping with exploration, to customise their ship, Travellers gather and trade parts for their ships as they explore, salvaging the best components from wrecks and ruins.

We are also introducing a new Guild system, making joining Guilds and increasing reputation a much larger part of the game. Visit new Guild envoys on Space Stations to gain supplies and rare items, or make donations to increase your standing.

You can own a freighter and even build up a fleet of frigates in No Man’s Sky. Now you can send that frigate fleet on away missions where if they get into trouble, as frigate captain, you can perform daring rescues. Scramble your squadron of fighters, warp to battles, and engage your attackers.

The Orbital update adds ship customisation, transforms Space Stations inside and out, adds a new guild system, engine improvements, UI refresh and much more. It’s a huge update with several major features that have been on player’s wishlists for a long time. We have a lot more planned this year as our journey continues. Full patch notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com].

Thanks so much,

Sean

Introducing..the OMEGA update!

15. feb.

Hello!

Last year was a busy one for the small team at Hello Games, with lots of No Man’s Sky updates and the announce of Light No Fire[www.lightnofire.com].

We have big plans for 2024, and we’re starting the year off with a very different kind of update. We’re calling it OMEGA[www.nomanssky.com], and for the first time No Man’s Sky will be available to play for free! Full patch notes here[www.nomanssky.com].

Expeditions in No Man’s Sky have become one of the most popular ways to play the game. They bring all players together to the same planet for an interstellar, shared experience. This weekend (Thursday 15th to Monday 19th February) we are allowing everyone, whether you own the game or not, to join the Omega Expedition.

This represents a moment for new players to try No Man’s Sky, and existing players to welcome them into the community. There are no microtransactions, no free to play mechanics, just a huge universe to explore for free with your friends.

The Omega update also brings a complete overhaul of expeditions, new on-planet missions, a new pirate dreadnought to own, and much more.

Until now expeditions have been their own game mode, but we wanted to fully integrate them into our main game. Now, our new expedition system allows travellers to join expeditions with bespoke provisions, bring along their favourite starships or custom multi-tools and return to their main save with loot and exciting rewards.

We have revisited the “Atlas Path”, allowing players to commune with the Atlas and honour it with a new Atlas staff, jetpack and helmet.

On planets we have introduced a huge array of procedurally generated quests. Talking to alien lifeforms results in quests specific to an alien lifeforms locale, climate and personality.

For the first time, take on the universe with a fleet of frigates led by a Dreadnought capital ship. If players can defeat pirate freighters in combat, travellers can board the Dreadnought to demand control.

At the core of this update is the Omega Expedition, which has been built from the ground up as a perfect introduction for new players, but with some of the best rewards in any expedition to date, including a gorgeous new starship to explore the universe with.

In the almost eight years since launch, through over 25 free updates, the No Man’s Sky universe has become at times overwhelming in breadth and depth. Through a series of quick missions and milestones, the OMEGA expeditions will guide you through the fundamentals of base-building, trading, space combat, lore and much, much more. Any progress you make will be retained in case you choose to purchase the game and continue your journey.

The Omega Expedition runs for 4 weeks from Thursday 15th February and is free to play for the first weekend until Monday 19th February. Full patch notes here[www.nomanssky.com].

Whether you’ve been on the journey with us for a while, or you're a lapsed player looking for a way back in, or a newcomer who’s always wanted to take a peek at what No Man’s Sky has to offer, everyone is welcome and there’s never been a better time to join in.

Our journey continues.

The Next Ten Years

14. des. 2023

Hello,

Ten years ago we revealed No Man’s Sky to the world, and we feel very lucky to have the opportunity to continue to update this game we love. Next year will be one of our biggest for No Man’s Sky, and we released a video to celebrate at the end of the TGAs, with a small tease of some of the elements coming next year.

Next year will be a big one for No Man’s Sky with a lot of updates. It’s been over ten years and we still love working on it.

What people don’t know though is that for five of those years we’ve been working on something different and maybe even more ambitious.

With No Man’s Sky we created a universe of sparse alien planets, which isn’t easy, but there’s something much harder.

For our new game we have created an earth. A planet as varied as a universe, bigger than earth itself. With real mountains, multiple miles tall, that when you climb them and look out you see rivers, canyons, oceans, continents, islands as big as countries. A truly open world.

As a kid we always loved the maps at the start of great fantasy books - Earthsea, Narnia, Middle Earth, Westeros - whole worlds. This is our fantasy planet. A single planet we are going to let everyone play on together, to explore and adventure.

We’re super nervous but excited when announcing our new game. If folks like it, it’s a game we’d love to be still updating ten years from now.

Check out the trailer and wishlist if you like what you see on the Steam page.

A little more info…

Light No Fire is a game about adventure, building, survival and exploration together. Set on a fantasy planet the size of Earth, it brings the depth of a role playing game to the freedom of a survival sandbox.

A Multiplayer Earth

Carve a life together. Meet players from across the globe, build a life, explore and survive together. Construct persistent buildings and communities, or strike out alone to discover the world for others.

A Procedural Earth

A truly open world, with no boundaries at a scale never attempted before. A massively varied and dense planet filled with immersive biomes, unique enemies and valuable resources to discover.

A Fantasy Earth

Light No Fire presents you with an ancient earth to uncover. One where you're not the hero. Thick with lore, mystery and a constant fight for survival. Inspired by the adventure, charm and imagination that we love from classic fantasy.

An Unexplored Earth

Every mountain can be climbed, and below them lie endless vistas, oceans and continents perhaps no others have seen. Who will climb the tallest mountains, who will find the deepest sea? Set sail across vast oceans and rivers, ride wild beasts through fantastical landscapes, fly dragons over undiscovered landscapes.

We hope that you will continue to enjoy the No Man’s Sky journey and consider joining us on a new adventure.

Your support means the world to us.

Thanks.

2023 Expedition Holiday Redux

9. des. 2023

Hello Everyone!

Another busy year for No Man’s Sky is drawing to a close, and this holiday season we are pleased to revisit our tradition of running remixed editions of this year’s expeditions.

Across the following dates, 2023’s community expeditions will be available once more, taking place in new sections of the universe, offering explorers another opportunity to experience these stories and events and earn exclusive rewards.

In addition to the 2023 expeditions, we are also bringing back a limited run of the community favourite Cartographers, from 2021. The bundle of rewards includes some of the most popular items from across a number of past expeditions, including the coveted Golden Vector starship – an exciting opportunity for players who missed out on the chance to earn these rewards during the original expedition runs.

Utopia: 8th Dec – 15th Dec

Work together with other Travellers to rebuild an abandoned solar system for the mysterious Utopia Foundation. Utopia welcomes all contributors to our ambitious new communal habitation project!

Singularity: 15th Dec – 22nd Dec

Begin to unveil the history and origin of the harmonic camps in this precursor to Echoes. A mystery that touches upon artificial intelligence, the will to exist, and the very nature of what it means to be alive.

Cartographers: 22nd Dec – 29th Dec

Awaken stranded on the fiery planet of Coul Major, and deeply explore its surface as you work to repair your bespoke starship.

Voyagers: 29th Dec – 8th Jan

A relaxing journey of exploration, encouraging Travellers to seek out remarkable worlds, reach planetary summits and oceanbeds, and catalogue your findings.

Rewards for the 2023 expeditions include the Robo-Warden and HoverDroid Companions, the Fearsome Visor and Wayfarer’s Helm, the Crimson Freighter Trail, and much more.

Cartographers presents some of the most exciting and popular rewards from previous expeditions: the Jetpack Bubble Trail, Feasting Casque, Exotic Wingpack, Streamlined Jetpack, and the legendary Golden Vector starship.

Left-Handed VR

Today’s expedition update includes a bonus feature that we have been wanting to implement for a long time: left-handed mode for motion controls in virtual reality. VR players may now toggle their preferred handedness between left and right.

The handedness setting in VR links your grip on the Multi-Tool, interactions with menus, selection and placement of base building objects to the dominant hand, while attaching the wrist menu to the secondary hand, allowing left-handed players a more comfortable and intuitive experience.

This year we celebrated 7 years of post-launch development and support for No Man’s Sky and 10 years almost to the day since we announced the game to the world at the Game Awards (VGX). It is overwhelming to look back at how much the game has grown since 2016 – and to look ahead to where it is going. We’re excited to share a little taste of what’s yet to come!

Nintendo Switch Visual Quality

Another feature in today’s update that we wanted to highlight: the rendering clarity on Switch has enjoyed further improvements. When we added FSR 2 on Switch in ECHOES[www.nomanssky.com], we were so happy to see the positive response from players and press (“With the recent patches, No Man’s Sky is now one of the cleanest, most visually stable games on Nintendo’s hardware.” – Eurogamer[www.eurogamer.net]), and we’re pleased to be able to expand on that.

In particular, with today’s update, Switch players will experience a reduction of ghosting artifacts – visual noise that can linger on screen when the image moves – and an overall improvement to image sharpness, via a highly bespoke implementation of AMD FidelityFX’s Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS), customised to perform optimally on Switch.

Community Research

The Quicksilver Synthesis Companion has working continuously throughout the year, powered by Travellers completing missions available at The Nexus. Their current synthesis project is a trio of cargo-themed base parts: an industrial crane as well as covered crates and silos, whose contents may well be of Outlaw provenance…

Global community progress towards unlocking these exclusive decorations can be viewed in the Mission Log, at the Quicksilver Bot’s kiosk, or at the Galactic Atlas site[galacticatlas.nomanssky.com].

Featured Bases

Iteration: Mercury, custodian of the Space Anomaly’s teleporter, has established links to a new set of Featured Bases. Visit them to tour the cosy Polestar Potions & Apothecary and Wizards Rest, the tranquil Butterfly House and Ealpha Base, or the magnificent Last Egg from the First Dragon-UD22 – CCAS.

Seven years in. One of our biggest yet!

21. nov. 2023

Hello,

2023 is No Man's Sky's seventh anniversary year and continues to be enjoyed in significant numbers by veteran and new players alike:

We have released 3 major (free) updates in 2023:

FEBRUARY 2023 - FRACTAL UPDATE

Completely immerse yourself in an infinite universe with No Man’s Sky update 4.1, FRACTAL[www.nomanssky.com]! Introducing a catalogue of your most incredible discoveries, a huge number of quality of life and accessibility improvements, gyroscopic control support, full support for PlayStation®VR2, and much more!

APRIL 2023 - INTERCEPTOR UPDATE

Venture to forsaken Sentinel worlds in update 4.2, INTERCEPTOR[www.nomanssky.com]! Explore corrupted planets, fight a legion of challenging new robotic guardians, hijack their technology, steal their ships, harvest their resources, destroy their freighters, and much, much more!

AUGUST 2023 - ECHOES UPDATE

Meet a secret society of robotic aliens in update 4.4, ECHOES[www.nomanssky.com]! Furthering the narrative introduced in INTERCEPTOR, explore the mysteries of the Autophage, perform their rituals, learn their language, and assemble your own ceremonial staff. In deep space, confront huge outlaw dreadnoughts, sweep through their trenches and destroy vulnerable components in new tactical space combat – and much more!

The patch notes pages for every update are always lengthy and crammed full of new features and content for players.

Moreover each update is accompanied by a substantial community expedition, a timed event filled with unique challenges and rewards.

Sometimes an expedition gets so big that we spin it out into a update, as seen in May's SINGULARITY[www.nomanssky.com] expedition.

On top of supporting the game on existing platforms (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, GoG, PCVR and PSVR), we also released the game on two more platforms in 2023:

FEBRUARY 2023 - PSVR2 RELEASE

JUNE 2023 - MacOS RELEASE

It continues to be a Labor of Love for our tiny team. If you could find a moment to vote for us in this year's Steam Awards, that would be amazing.

Our journey continues.
