A Collector of Unique Pieces
Forsaken traders have appeared at the edges of deep-space outposts, seeking mementos to add to their strange collections. These enigmatic aliens stock a unique range of corvette modules, which they are willing to exchange for an appropriate offering…
Minimal HUD Mode
Immerse yourself deeper in the spectacle of the universe with a new minimal HUD mode. This setting is especially suited for experienced Travellers, minimising the compass, hazard protection bars, and mission notifications, and hiding non-essential markers.
IOS Support
Carry an infinite universe in your pocket! The full experience of No Man's Sky is now available on iOS devices. The user interface has been built for touch from the ground up, and the iOS engine has been optimised for battery life and thermodynamics, allowing for long, comfortable play sessions on mobile.
Haunting Mementos
Bizarre, horrifying biological samples have begun to appear in the spookiest regions of the universe. Search deep-space hulk wrecks, infested outposts, derelict freighters and palaeontological digsites, and harvest the haunting mementos found within. Offer these curios to forsaken traders in exchange for unique corvette modules, but beware the appearance of hostile boundary horrors…
Vantage-Class Cockpit
The ultra-wide Vantage-Class cockpit provides a broad, uninterrupted view of space, and a minimalist modern interior - for the corvette pilot with their eyes on the stars.
Larva Tank Helmet
Substitute your cranium with a parasitic larva, wriggling and writhing in its aquatic tank. Travellers who dedicate themselves to the harvest of haunting mementos can claim this exclusive exosuit appearance override, alongside the title of Mind Harvester.
Space Courier Contracts
Become a long-distance space trucker with deep-space delivery missions, available from space outposts. Clients will pay generously for the safe interplanetary delivery of their most important packages.
Sinister Corvette Modules
Design the biomechanical corvette of your nightmares - or add a touch of the sinister to your existing corvette builds - with a huge array of new modules available from forsaken traders.
Hornet-Class Cockpit
The segmented panels of the Hornet-Class cockpit lend an insectoid quality to corvette builds. Select one of three variants to perfect your hornet-headed design.
Legion-Class Interiors
Outfit your corvette with the cruiser-style Legion-class habitation modules. Narrow ceilings, recessed illumination and stark angles bring a utilitarian aesthetic to corvette interiors.
Larva Cannon
Surrender an offering of preserved grubs to a forsaken trader, and acquire the grotesque Larva Cannon Multi-Tool, fashioned from a larval exoskeleton of unknown provenance.
Viper-Class Cockpit
Underlit, leather-bound panels and a gridded viewport define the Viper-class cockpit. Prime your ship weapons and strike out at foes with this serpentine head for corvettes, available in three structural variants.
Radial Weapon Selector
Travellers with a decked-out Multi-Tool can now switch efficiently between weapons and utilities using the new weapon select wheel, without needing to cycle through each mode individually.
Uploadable Space Bases
Off-planet bases may now be uploaded to the shared No Man’s Sky server, allowing other Travellers to visit and admire your orbital constructions.
Mantis-Class Cockpit
Square-cornered panels and reinforced titanium bars frame your view from the Mantis-class cockpit. Personalise your build by configuring the surrounding flush vents and fuselage into one of three varieties.
Seamless Warping
Stars from nearby systems now appear as bright, targetable destinations in deep space - and can be directly flown to, bypassing the requirement to navigate via the Galaxy Map.
Space Scavenging Guidance
Detailed guidance is available for deep-space scavengers. Jump into your corvette, equip a Gravitino Coil, and strip deep-space hulks and asteroid belts for precious technologies and minerals.
Deep-Space Creature Battles
Holo-Arena battles can now be fought at deep-space outposts. Assemble your strongest creature companions into a battle team and face off against these new challengers!
