No Man's Sky Dev Tracker

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello,

Five years ago this week, we launched No Man's Sky. For the first time we watched players all over the world begin to explore the universe we had created. It was a nerve wracking moment and the culmination of five years of very hard work for our tiny team (the average team size was just 6, and at launch was just 15).



We knew this was the start of a journey, but never expected what a wild ride it would be. Today we'd like to take a moment to appreciate this milestone together. It hasn't always been easy, but the thing that has been our guiding star throughout has been the players and the community. Behind every update, every video, every feature and line in a patch note is a team that cares so deeply for this game.

Hello!

Already this year we have been delighted to watch Travellers the world over adopt weird and wonderful creatures in the COMPANIONS[www.nomanssky.com] update, then jump into an all-new game mode with the first two EXPEDITIONS[www.nomanssky.com] and unlock exclusive new content, including the SSV Normandy SR1[...

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 My...

Hello!
Our next update for No Man’s Sky, EXPEDITIONS[www.nomanssky.com], 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 yo... Read more

We are listening closely to your feedback, and have identified and resolved a number of issues. These fixes have been combined into patch 3.21, which will be live on all platforms today.

Hello Everyone,

Our tiny team is excited to let you know that our first free update for 2021, the COMPANIONS[wwwnomanssky.com] 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.

Hello!

It was 7 years ago this month that the four-person team behind the arcade motorbike stunt game Joe Danger unveiled the first trailer for a new somewhat incongruous open-world sci-fi game at the VGX Awards 2013.

3 years later in 2016, and with an average team size of just six people, No Man’s Sky launched and realized a long-held dream of mine, of creating a game which brought to life the science-fiction novels of my childhood and allowed people to explore an infinite universe and hitherto unforeseen planets.

Today, I continue to be amazed that the enduring passion for No Man’s Sky continues to excite the dev team (still only about 15 people) and fuel their imaginations, and that the community continues to respond positively to our work.

This year has seen our journey with No Man’s Sky really switch up a gear as we committed to increasing the frequency of our releases. From the creative (... Read more

Hello!

Four years ago we announced FOUNDATION[www.nomanssky.com], our first major update for No Man’s Sky, we promised “It won’t be our largest update, but it is the start of something”. Those words have proved very true, as No Man’s Sky continues to grow and evolve. Each year since our game has changed perhaps more than most, with PATHFINDER[www.nomanssky.com], ATLAS RI...

Hello Everyone!

Even though the drama, adventure and exotic colours of Origins[www.nomanssky.com] are still fresh in our minds, as the nights have drawn in and the skies have darkened we can’t help but be drawn back to the lost ships and haunted wrecks of the Desolation[www.nomanssky.com] update.
