Hello!

Already this year we have been delighted to watch Travellers the world over adopt weird and wonderful creatures in the COMPANIONS update, then jump into an all-new game mode with the first two EXPEDITIONS and unlock exclusive new content, including the SSV Normandy SR1 from Mass Effect. Further expeditions are planned very soon, and we look forward to sharing them with you.

Today we are pleased to release our third free update of this, our 5th anniversary year. We’re calling it PRISMS. Full patch notes are available here.

PRISMS brings with it a visual overhaul of No Man’s Sky. Virtually no part of the game has been left untouched – our small team have enhanced the technology and the art all across the game to make the entire universe more vivid and beautiful than ever. Planets, skies, stars, creatures, the weather, space stations and more – new technology and new content mean they look the best they’ve

Hello,

For the last week the No Man’s Sky community have worked together on the new Beachhead expedition, solving the puzzle of its hidden and encrypted goals. Today is a lovely moment, as explorers are discovering that at the end of this mystery is the appearance of the legendary SSV Normandy SR1 from Mass Effect!

There has been crazy speculation as to where this mysterious voyage would lead. Huge thank you to the dedicated travellers involved: those who figured out the purpose of the “Historiographical Dosimeter” and how to use it; those who cracked the code and translated the messages hidden in a secret alphabet; those who pieced together the story of the coming of the Normandy out of flux fragments at monoliths all across the universe; and to everyone involved in the colossal research effort to unlock the Myth Beacon and summon the ‘weapon’ into existence!

This is a lovely little Easter Egg moment, and something

Hello Everyone!

Back in April, we launched a whole new way to experience No Man’s Sky with the release of EXPEDITIONS.

Since then, Travellers have embarked on their first Expedition, Pioneers, which has seen them travel huge distances, discover a vast array of creatures, rendezvous in huge numbers at expedition intersections, map countless new systems and complete many more challenges to unlock the limited edition rewards including the exclusive golden Alpha Vector starship.

When we created Expeditions, we wanted each one to feel fresh, each one to supply its own twists and contrasts. We are very excited to explore the gameplay and stories that this new mode gives us the chance to

Hello!
Our next update for No Man’s Sky, EXPEDITIONS, which launches today gives travellers a whole new way to explore together.

Expeditions is a seasonal and community focused mode and complements the existing modes like Normal, Creative, Survival and Permadeath. Every player will start out on the same planet with a journey plotted ahead of you across the galaxy. Each traveller starts with a custom collection of technology, customisations, new ships and weapons, providing a glimpse of some of the wild possibilities in the universe.

As a community you will adventure through the season passing journey milestones and completing the different phases along the way to unlock increasingly valuable rewards, many of which are unique to the season. Everything you unlock will be available across all modes, and at the end of the season existing expeditions will be converted to normal mode saves allowing play to continue.

Hello Everyone!

This week, we introduced a feature to No Man’s Sky that we – and many of you – have wanted for a long time: alien creature companions!

Explorers of No Man’s Sky have always been drawn to the strange, vibrant and often bizarre creatures inhabiting its infinite worlds. However, until now, face-to-face interactions with those creatures have been relatively limited, with friendships only lasting as long as a stack of Creature Pellets. We wanted to create an opportunity for players to form deeper, long-lasting bonds with the fauna they encounter along their journey.

The team has had a lot of fun putting this update together, and it has been so fulfilling to see the community now flying out into the universe to adopt all variety of creatures: the cute, the majestic, and the weird. Starting 2021 with such a playful addition to the No Man’s Sky universe has been a great feeling!

Hello Everyone,

Our tiny team is excited to let you know that our first free update for 2021, the COMPANIONS update, is available to download from today, free for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Win 10, Steam, Steam VR, GOG, Xbox One and XboxS/X players!

Every planet you land on in No Man’s Sky is full of varied creatures, but as wild animals players often didn’t get to spend much time up close with them. Our creatures are weird, vibrant and surprising, and we wanted to give them a starring role in this update. With the COMPANIONS update, players can now tame, breed, train and even speak to the creatures they encounter.

Travellers are now able to adopt the creatures they encounter and form close bonds with them. They will travel side-by-side with you as you adventure through the universe both as a friend and as a valuable aide on your voyage. Train them to scan for resources, mark out hazards, provide light, hunt dangerous

Hello Everyone!

It has been an eventful year, and reflecting back, there is a lot we feel grateful for. This year has been huge for No Man’s Sky, and we feel so lucky to be able to continue expanding this game we love – as well as to see the positive reception from our amazing, big-hearted, passionate community. Thank you so much for being with us on this journey, and helping make 2020 a positive year for the game and for the team.

We released six major updates this year – more than in any previous year! In 2020 alone, we introduced biological ships, a fully controllable mech, cross-platform multiplayer, and procedurally-generated derelict freighters. We revamped the entire universe of No Man’s Sky with a wealth of new variety in planetary terrain, life, and atmospheres – and we were there ready for the launch of the latest generation of consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
