No Man's Sky Waypoint update gives free starship and Multi-Tool to Switch players, here’s how to redeem

Just a few days ago, Hello Games’ Sean Murray detailed what No Man’s Sky 4.0 update would look like in an interview with PCGamer. We’re already well aware of what’s in store, and that’s various adjustments to make the game welcoming for newcomers or returning players, or simply more engaging for veterans who believe they’ve done it all.

This includes a relaxed mode, and a survival mode, both of which offer easier and harder difficulties depending on what type of player you are.
