No Man's Sky Endurance Update

Hello!

It has already been an incredibly busy year for No Man’s Sky with the release of SENTINEL, LEVIATHAN, OUTLAWS and SteamDeck - and Switch, PSVR2, MacOS and more coming very soon!

Today, we are releasing what is probably our biggest update of the year (our 20th major free update). Perhaps fittingly we’re calling it ENDURANCE, and the focus is on freighters, frigates and fleets. Full patch notes are available here.

We introduced the ability to own and captain freighters in our very first update, FOUNDATION, and it’s something we’ve been excited to take the opportunity to completely reinvent. Captaining a fleet to explore the unknown has always been core to that fantasy of science fiction, from Battlestar to Starfleet, and it’s a huge fan favorite.



ENDURANCE brings a complete overhaul of freighters and fleets, allowing players to live and work aboard their home in the stars, together with their own crew. A new bridge brings a range of quality of life improvements, with instant access to warping and teleportation. Players can now build vast freighter bases on a scale not seen before, with specially themed areas and new features for growing food and manufacturing, and new technology like the ability to scan and analyse planets from space.



One of the most striking changes is to asteroids, which are now more varied and appear in vast fields, with thousands on screen at once. There are new Interstellar-style black holes, nebulae, and space atmospherics to explore. Travellers can enjoy these new incredible space vistas from windows and portholes, which they can now build on their freighters. Players can also build exterior sections to their freighters, for increased flexibility, or just to admire the universe from.



There’s also a new expedition to enjoy, “Polestar”, focused on a capital ship voyage, as well as new combat-focused Nexus missions, and a new Twitch Drops campaign.



To celebrate ENDURANCE, we are releasing another set of woven expedition patches on the merch store.



We're also doing a limited re-run of Christopher C. Castillo's awesome playing cards such was their popularity last time.



And don't forget, No Man's Sky for Nintendo Switch launches on October 7th worldwide as a physical and digital edition. Pre-order now at all discerning game stores.



ENDURANCE coincides with No Man’s Sky’s 6 year anniversary and it remains amazing to us to see players still clocking up a bewildering number of hours in the game all these years later. We are eternally grateful for the support.

Our journey continues.

No Man's Sky players invent their own cryptocurrency and it's worthless (but it's supposed to be)




Have you ever thought to yourself that the one thing No Man's Sky really needs to make it great is cryptocurrency? Maybe not—probably not—but some players have, and they've taken it upon themselves to create one. According to this Vice report, though, the goal isn't to make money, and in fact the people responsible for the project hope to keep it worthless...

No Man's Sky players have created an in-game cryptocurrency that works because it has no value

Yesterday tech journalist Alex Hern, who has been making comparatively gentle fun of the crypto crash, pointed out that he didn't Tweet about bitcoin in the boom times "because it wasn't funny then." So, after we posted yesterday about a crypto fan who very shoddily stole Itch and for some reason tagged Itch's founder in a tweet about it, allow me to bring you the news that some No Man's Sky players have come up with what I think is the most useful application of a crypto currency I've seen. And it works because it is deliberately valueless.
