Hello,

Today we are pleased to finally reveal what our small team has been working our socks off on. Full patch notes for FRONTIERS are available here[www.nomanssky.com].

Fittingly for our 5th anniversary update, Frontiers is one of our biggest updates for a long time.



Frontiers introduces the concept of large living breathing planetary settlements which travellers can encounter, interact with and even be elected Overseer of. As the leader of your adopted people, travellers can choose to help them, even lead them, ensure their future prosperity and happiness and ult... Read more

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

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!

We are excited to let Steam players know that our Next Generation update will allow PC players access to all graphical enhancements from day one.

By now many of you will have seen the announcement[www.nomanssky.com] that the latest in a long list of 2020 No Man’s Sky updates, Next Generation, will be released in a couple of weeks’ time along with the new console hardware from Sony and Microsoft.



While we appreciate that this update is, by definition, focussed towards our console community, we did want to highlight the benefits that t... Read more

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.



With Halloween around the corner, we wanted to give p... Read more

Hello!

We are excited to announce the release of the latest major update to No Man’s Sky today. We’re calling it the ORIGINS update and it’s out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (including VR). Full patch notes are available here[www.nomanssky.com]



It’s hard to believe that it’s been 4 years since we watched people all around the world wake up on their first planet in our near-infinite universe and embark on their voyage of exploration. That first planet might have been dangerous, barren, or teeming with life. For sure though, it would have been an intriguing alien world f... Read more

Hello,

Next week Hello Games will be releasing an update to No Man’s Sky. We’re calling it "ORIGINS".

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 were true at the time, and they ring true for Origins. We called it Origins because it is the beginning of something new, as No Man's Sky continues to grow and evolve.

Hello,

Being a small dot amongst the stars can bring a sense of awe and wonder, but we've always wanted to explore a little more those feelings of fear and dread that come from being alone in the depths of space. Terror in the face of the unknown, or the dawning realisation that you're treading in the footsteps of those who met a lonely end at the edge of the universe - it's a rich science fiction tradition, and one not really touched on in No Man's Sky - until now.



The Desolation Update[www.nomanssky.com] adds abandoned freighters to explore to No Man’s Sky, along with a ve... Read more

Hello Everyone!

Over the last few months, alongside previous content updates like Living Ship[www.nomanssky.com] and Exo Mech[www.nomanssky.com], we’ve been busily working on something else in secret.

Do you have a friend on another gaming system with whom you’ve always wanted to explore the great unknown? A legendary base you’ve seen videos of but never been able to visit? A mission that you think would be great to play with friends on other platforms?

We are excited to be able to a... Read more

Hello everyone!

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[www.nomanssky.com] 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[www.nomanssky.com] an... Read more

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... Read more

Phew, what a year! If you like what we've done this year with the Beyond and Synthesis updates, maybe consider taking a moment to nominate No Man's Sky in the "Labor of Love" category. It would mean a lot to us.

Hello!

Today we are pleased to release our eighth free update to No Man's Sky.

The Synthesis Update introduces a number of frequently-requested features and improvements to No Man’s Sky Beyond. Alongside these new features are a large number of community-led quality of life improvements, as well as general polish.

Full Patch Notes can be found here[www.nomanssky.com] but here are some highlights.
