Can you play the game on multiple platforms?]]>Traversing the stars is a beautiful experience, but it can get lonely out there on your own. No Man’s Sky is home to many features that are best shared with others, including base-building, Expeditions, and Discoveries—which is why players may be wondering about cross-play compatibility.

Does NMS have crossplay?
NMS has cross-play, but there’s a catch: The full functionality of the cross-platform feature is only available for players on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation—not for Nintendo Switch users. Although the Switch allows some cross-play functionality, it’s limited to NMS’ Discoveries feature.

One of the game's original expeditions is returning for Mass Effect fans. ]]>No Man’s Sky’s most recent expedition, The Cursed, only ended yesterday, but the game’s developers are already giving players something new to get excited about.
Hello Games unveiled features in a new blog post that will begin rolling out today, including cross-save functionality, PlayStation 5 Pro support, and the return of the SSV Normandy SR1 frigate. Initially, cross-save will only be available to a small group of players in a beta period. But over the coming weeks, the developer will open the doors for all NMS players.

The newest event is here, and it has a lot in store for players.]]>Wake up, Travelers: A new Expedition in No Man’s Sky has arrived, and it’s just in time for the spooky season. You’ve ventured among the stars, but now it’s time to explore what other dimensions have to offer.
Hello Games unveiled Expedition 16 in a new blog post today, and it’s a bit of a trip—literally.

Do you have what it takes to join?]]>While exploring different space systems in No Man’s Sky, you’ll come across Space Stations where you can trade goods and upgrade technologies. Aboard these stations, you’ll encounter aliens that are members of the Merchant, Explorer, or Mercenary Guilds.
These alien guilds act as storefronts where you can sell valuable cargo such as artifacts or contraband or pick up quests that offer unique rewards.

Reel in the loot.]]>The Aquarius update for No Man’s Sky launched with a new fishing expedition, meaning there are new milestones to complete and exclusive rewards to earn.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Aquarius expedition in No Man’s Sky, including milestones, rewards, and dates.
]]>Promising a "uniquely relaxing experience."]]>A little over a month after the release of the Worlds Part I update, No Man’s Sky is taking us on another adventure—this time a far more relaxing one.
No Man’s Sky revealed its next update on Sept. 4, called Aquarius, and it’ll take players on a fishing trip across the galaxy. You can now explore planets to find your perfect fishing spot in your world or on a new expedition. There are dozens of fish to discover in the fishing log, from minnow fish to “huge alien marine mammals” and legendary fish.

Prepare for a journey. ]]>There are a myriad of quests in No Man’s Sky, each tasking the player with specific objectives and offering some powerful upgrades and rewards. “They Who Returned” is one of them that delves into the game’s lore.
They Who Returned was added with the Echoes update, and offers a glimpse at a new alien race called Autophages. Most importantly, players who complete this quest can wield a futuristic staff instead of a multi-tool.

Upgrades people, upgrades.]]>Salvaged Frigate Modules are materials you need to unlock upgrades for your freighter in No Man’s Sky. Unlike Salvaged Data you’ve likely encountered before, the Salvaged Frigate Modules are much harder to come by.
Here’s how to get Salvaged Frigate Modules in No Man’s Sky and the best way to farm them.

A tool for every occasion.]]>A Multi-Tool is your best friend in No Man’s Sky. It can do practically everything, from mining resources to shooting Sentinels.
Having more than one Multi-Tool in No Man’s Sky can be beneficial if you want to spec out one for resource extraction and the other for fighting, as some Multi-Tools might not have enough slots to accommodate both.
