Hello Everyone!

This week, we released our second No Man’s Sky update of 2020 – the Exo Mech. This update brings a number of improvements to the game, in particular to Exocraft and Base Building – but most excitingly, it introduces the new Minotaur mech!

We’re especially proud of pulling this update (and trailer) together under these unusual working circumstances. Last month, the entire team moved to remote working, which is something new and unfamiliar for us. Our small team is used to working together very closely, and it feels strange not sitting next to each other in the office we built.

However, the team are so good at helping each other out that the transition has been smooth, and we’re so glad to be able to release this content we’ve been working hard on.

• Fixed an issue that caused Minotaur upgrade modules to be missing from the Exocraft technology shop aboard the Space Station.

Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago, we released our first update of 2020 – the LIVING SHIP. Today we are back with another free update for No Man’s Sky. Introducing the EXO MECH update!

The Minotaur Exocraft is a unique new exocraft / suit hybrid, and introduces a different way to explore planets. This mechanical walker shields its pilot against hostile extraterrestrial atmospheres, providing immunity against hazards such as radioactivity and extreme temperatures.

Its special defining feature, though, is the freedom of movement it affords. The Minotaur’s powerful jetpack allows it to soar powerfully through the air, and land on terrain with a satisfying slide. We think it’s a lot of fun to stomp around in!

In addition to the Minotaur, the Exo Mech update brings a number of useful new exocraft technologies to the game, several quality of life improvements for base building, graphical enhancements, and much more.

Hello Everyone!

It has been a few weeks since we launched the Living Ship update for No Man’s Sky, and the community response has completely exceeded what we could have anticipated. We’ve seen huge numbers of players returning to the game to hatch and raise their new sentient ships, and outside the game, it’s been fantastic to see players sharing their unique ship variations online.

Today, we wanted to talk about the new type of item we’ve introduced to the Quicksilver Bot, as well as let you know about the new set of community bases featured at the Space Anomaly.

The Quicksilver Synthesis Companion has been overclocking their creative processes to invent a new category of exotic collectable: bobble-headed figurines!

These synthetic polymer companions can be installed in any starship cockpit, and will sway their articulated heads with the movements of your ship. The first set of figurines to unlock are

Hello Everyone!

One of our favourite things is watching the Community Research tiers fill up at the Galactic Atlas. We love seeing the community working together to unlocking the latest traveller visage, base part, or jetpack trail.

This past week, we’ve felt especially egg-cited about your progress, and it was lovely to finally reveal what has been growing inside those Void Eggs some of you had been incubating for a few days.

2019 was another huge year for No Man’s Sky. Beyond was our biggest update so far – introducing full VR support, significantly improved multiplayer, and deepening so many other areas of the game. The update welcomed a huge number of new players and veteran travellers alike back to the game.

In November of 2019, we released a quality of life update, Synthesis which, in some respects, was even more significant, especially for the long-term members of the community. It was an update which pulled a lot

Quote from No Man

Hello!

2019 was an important year for No Man’s Sky. It was the year we brought the entire game into VR and much expanded multiplayer in the free BEYOND update. Everyone who owned the game was overnight able to play the entire game in virtual reality and it has been extremely cool to see VR and non-VR players joining up in the Nexus to explore, embark on missions and build bases together.

We followed Beyond with two more content updates last year, SYNTHESIS and BYTEBEAT, and we are starting 2020 as we mean to go on with another free release – the LIVING SHIP update releasing today.

The Living Ship update introduces the first new starship since ATLAS RISES. But this is more than just a ship – these are strange and beautiful creatures with lives of their own. A new series of missions will take players through the ancient Korvax experiments that led to the birth of these interstellar beings. Players who wish to incubate,

Happy New Year, Everyone!

We’ve released a small patch today to introduce some new items to the Space Anomaly’s Quicksilver shop. The Synthesis Bot has an exciting and diverse range of products planned for this year; we’ve enjoyed reading your requests and ideas and hope you’ll enjoy what we have lined up!

Commencing on Monday 27th, Polo’s Robotic Companion will begin compiling community research data to unlock a new category of customisation: coloured jetpack trails!

Over the last few weeks, explorers have also unlocked a number of new exotic heads through Polo’s ongoing Community Research request. Progress is currently underway to unlock the final exotic Traveller head: Iteration Ariadne.

Hello Everyone!

Hopefully this is a bit of a nice festive surprise for folks. We have released a neat update today, adding a full audio creation application to No Man’s Sky. We’re calling it the ByteBeat Device!

We’ve made a brief trailer to demonstrate the potential of the feature, but as always, we’re sure that you the community will take it and run with it in all sorts of unexpected directions.

Credit to community creators DjMonkey, G_Man_D, Nukie000, Whimblo and ActionPantsGaming for the bases featured in this trailer.

Base building is a big part of what people spend their time doing in our game, and a frequent request is for the ability to add sounds and music to their construction. Our team always likes a creative challenge, and audio is one of our big passions. Over the last few weeks one of our coders got obsessed with making an audio creation tool for the community, we were so excited about it we thought it’d

Quote from No Man

Hello Everyone,

It’s strange to think that it’s only been a few months since we released Beyond, our largest and most ambitious update for No Man’s Sky. That update now feels so integral that it’s hard to remember a time before you could experience the game in VR, milk an alien creature, or visit the Space Anomaly to group up with other explorers on multiplayer missions.

Since then, the pace hasn’t let up. While the team has continued to dream up content for the next steps of our ongoing journey, we’ve also listened to the voices in the community to help shape a more immediate update. We’ve taken your feedback, combined it with our own, and put together a set of polish and quality of life fixes that we are calling the Synthesis update.

Thanksgiving feels like the right time for this release. Thank you, everyone, for supporting this game that means so much to us. Your passion is an essential part of this journey.
