Hello Everyone!

It’s been a while since our last development update blog, and we wanted to say a few more words about Origins, and take a moment to look at some of the recent community activity.

We’ve released several major updates for No Man’s Sky this year – Living Ship, Exo Mech, Crossplay, and Desolation, – but the release of Origins this week was an especially important moment for us. We knew that many of the players who have been exploring No Man’s Sky for a long time had built up an appetite for fresh worlds to discover, and the team embraced that challenge, working phenomenally hard to create new variety for the universe: flora, fauna, mountains, volcanoes, grass, skies, buildings, stars, weather – so many things!

It was exciting, creative, and a little nerve-wracking to breathe all this new life into our universe, knowing how much the community hungered for it – but now that it’s live, it has been such an overwhelming joy to witness the positive response. Once again, we’re in a position where we can say even we don’t know what’s out there – and it feels incredible.

Community Research

Nada and Polo have been thrilled with all the research data collected by intrepid Travellers over the last few months. As a result, the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion has fabricated a number of new exotic collectables…

Tint the colour of your starship trail with cadmium, emeril, or gold.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/09/Hero.Title_.Cropped.png]

Choose from a selection of Quicksilver-exclusive player titles. Officially become known as an Interloper, show your support for Ariadne by adopting the title Like-Traveller, and more – visit the Quicksilver Bot to browse the full range.

Decorate your ship’s cockpit with these adorable likenesses of Artemis, Apollo, or -null-.

The Quicksilver robot is now turning its processes to generating some new plantable collectables – available very soon!

Weekend Missions

This season of weekend missions has concluded on a note of mystery. Is Ariadne who they say they are, or has their place been taken by an imposter? It’s beyond question that much has changed throughout the galaxies – planets are bursting with new life, new celestial bodies have formed – but is the universe now settled, or does some dark force still lurk out there?

New means of earning Quicksilver are coming soon. In the meantime, Quicksilver rewards are still available daily from The Nexus.

The photographers in the community have already begun to capture some incredible shots of the new universe in Origins. Here are some of our favourites, by u/oyomastaz, u/maxr092, u/SaltyDreamers and u/mesutim.

Origins is just another small step in our longer journey. Thank you so much, everyone – those who have been with us from the beginning, those who have joined along the way, and those just stepping into No Man’s Sky for the first time. It means so much to see you all claiming this universe for yourselves.

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone playing the Origins Update, especially those taking the time to report any issues they encounter via Zendesk or console crash reporting.

We are listening closely to your feedback, and have identified and resolved a terrain issue affecting a small number of players. This fix has been included in patch 3.01, which will be live on all platforms today.

Patch Notes

• Fixed an issue that could cause bases to be buried underground. This was the result of the planet surface moving unexpectedly. Affected planets have been restored to their correct, pre-Origins state.

We will continue to release patches as issues are identified and resolved. If you experience any issues, let us know by submitting a bug report.

Thank you,

Zitat von No Man

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).

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 filled with curious flora and fauna, never seen before – not even by us, the developer.

That’s why it is so exciting to release NO MAN’S SKY: ORIGINS today. For the first time we are breathing new life and variety into that universe in a significant way, adding new worlds to explore, new planets never before seen, new life to discover.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/09/NMS_Origins_3.png]

For a surprising number of people, their voyage already has seen them spending hundreds and even thousands of hours journeying to the next horizon, the next planet, the next star system, propelled by the desire to see what was around the next corner. In fact that universe we created day one has already provided hundreds of millions of hours of entertainment across the globe.

No Man’s Sky has been updated over a dozen times since those early beginnings. The game has expanded in almost every direction to accommodate almost every play style: base building, VR, multiplayer, trading, community missions, exocraft, expanded lore… This year alone we have already introduced living ships, mechs, abandoned freighters and cross-platform play.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/09/NMS_Origins_1.png]

At No Man’s Sky’s core though, beats the heart of an experience which has never really lost its main existential purpose: a voyage of discovery, of exploration. For all the updates, the universe we have all been exploring together has largely remained untouched.

It is only fitting therefore that, for our major update of the year, and in the lineage of the larger annual updates of ATLAS RISES (2017), NEXT (2018) and BEYOND, we return to that core principle.

But how do you radically change a universe where so many have made their homes, built elaborate bases, named and discovered their own planets?

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/09/NMS_Origins_4.png]

Our solution is to birth entirely new planets into the universe, with vistas never possible before. Fly your Starship through towering mountains and epic chasms vastly larger than ever. Survive lightning storms, fires and hostile weather systems. Discover new creature behaviours like fauna that land and take to flight, or huge alien sandworms. Walk beneath new giant flora that changes from day through night. Visit buildings of an entirely new scale, containing new lore and much, much more.

Whether you’re a veteran traveller who has been to the centre of our universe and back before, or whether you’ve yet to take your first tentative step on that first planet, NO MAN’S SKY: ORIGINS represents a major moment in our journey so far. Why not come see what there is to discover?

Our journey continues.

Hello,

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

Detailed patch notes will follow, along with next week’s release.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/09/UpdateBookImages_00.png]

Four years ago we announced FOUNDATION, 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.

Beyond came out last year, bringing VR and hugely expanded Online play, and since then we have focused on releasing more regular updates. SYNTHESIS, BYTEBEAT, LIVING SHIP, EXO MECH, CROSSPLAY, and DESOLATION have been some of our most popular, surprising and transformative updates – leading No Man’s Sky to have its biggest year to date.

We know there is a huge appetite in the community for No Man’s Sky content, and the team has worked our socks off this year to deliver in difficult circumstances. We have been quiet, but we are always listening and focusing on improving the game that our team loves and feels so passionately about.

This update will be another small step in a longer journey. We hope you can join us.

Thank you,
Sean

Zitat von No Man

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.

[IMG: https://steamcommunity.com/public/shared/images/responsive/youtube_16x9_placeholder.gif]

The Desolation Update[http://www.nomanssky.com] adds abandoned freighters to explore to No Man’s Sky, along with a very different style of gameplay. Alone or in groups, players can breach the airlock and explore the hazardous, procedurally generated, interiors of these derelict capital ships. The only trace of the crew is in logs they’ve left behind, a mix of procedurally generated and hand-written text that means each vessel has its own unique story for you to piece together.

[IMG: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9164327/30f50f556f70813d2768c639f3aeb517d8a35b37.jpg]

The shattered interiors are also rich with salvage, including otherwise unobtainable upgrades for your own capital ship. Technology you retrieve still has the marks of the ship you took it from, meaning your own freighter will now reflect something of your journey.

But in the panic to flee the ship, hazardous items have spilled, defense systems have been scrambled and environment controls have begun to fail. Some vessels may even have been overrun by hostile alien lifeforms... You may want to take some friends along to increase your chances of making it out alive.

[IMG: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9164327/088cf6700df23bd8ce0ee7d35408c48cb4f00ce4.jpg]

The Desolation update also brings improvements and balance changes to weapons and enemies for a faster, more dynamic combat experience. Weapon balance, effects and feel have been tweaked to provide not just a more engaging combat experience on these alien infested frigates, but across the game as well.

[IMG: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9164327/a0668af0801a9d967a80289888e1dbf8c6d4883f.jpg]

The full patch notes are here[http://www.nomanssky.com], and they contain a huge list of quality of life improvements too.

It has been extremely gratifying for us to see a huge number of new players flood into the game since we entered the GamePass program last month. It’s particularly exciting to know that, with the cross-play update, those players were finally able to join friends on other platforms. Unifying our community and all their in-game creations on one network was a phenomenal achievement by our small technical team. It’s been a real surprise too to see No Man’s Sky sitting above the likes of Red Dead as the most played game on GamePass.

As ever, the team has also continued to work on more updates. We have several more significant releases planned for the year, and we’re excited to share more news about them when the time comes.

Our journey continues.

As ever, the team has also continued to work on more updates. We have several more significant releases planned for the year, and we’re excited to share more news about them when the time comes.

Our journey continues.

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone playing the Crossplay Update, especially those taking the time to report any issues they encounter via Zendesk or console crash reporting.

We are listening closely to your feedback, and have identified and resolved a number of stability issues. Some of these fixes were released earlier today as Patch 2.52.1 for PC. Additional console fixes have been added and combined into patch 2.53, which will be live on all platforms today.

Patch Notes

• Fixed a rare networking crash related to base building.
• On PC only, fixed a crash that could occur when NPC pilots get into their ships to take off.
• We’ve fixed a number of issues specific to AMD GPUs. We are aware of other GPU specific crashes and are working with AMD to fix them on a driver level. In the meantime, they have recommended rolling back to the previous WHQL driver 20.4.2, which can be found here: link.
• We are also aware of a number of Windows 7 users who are unable to connect. This is a platform security issue, and requires an update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows, found here: link

Hello Everyone!

A couple of weeks ago, we announced that No Man’s Sky was coming to Xbox Game Pass. We can now reveal that it will enter Game Pass TOMORROW on Thursday 11th June.

To coincide with this, we are releasing a Windows 10 version of the game which will also be part of the Game Pass for PC program.

This means that millions of Xbox One and Windows PC gamers who subscribe to the Game Pass service will be able to try No Man’s Sky for the first time.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/06/Crossplay-Planet-Explorers.png]

Whilst that’s exciting itself, we’ve been busily working on something else in secret for the last few months. Something to allow everyone in the community to benefit from the influx of new players that Game Pass brings.

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 announce that, starting tomorrow, PlayStation 4 players, Xbox One players and PC players will all be able to explore, journey, survive, build, and trade together. Excitingly, No Man’s Sky is joining what is at the moment a fairly small group of games which support cross-platform multiplayer.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/06/Crossplay-Planet-Geks.png]

A tremendous amount of work has gone into this update and the underlying technology and systems. We’ve moved to an entirely new networking architecture, with more flexibility for the future, allowing players to play together regardless of platform. I’m very proud of the team that has worked so hard to make this happen.

Meanwhile we are continuing to work hard on new content updates, large and small for the future.

Making No Man’s Sky available to vast new audiences, and allowing those audiences to come together, has been something we’ve been building towards for a long time. We’re lucky to have one of the nicest and most welcoming gaming communities there is, and it’s a delight to be able to allow them to play together. The big question is, who have you always wanted to play with?

Our journey continues.

Sean

Hello Everyone!

While working from home, we’re finding that the passage of time can start to feel a bit abstract. Earlier this week, we announced that No Man’s Sky is coming to Xbox Game Pass in June, and it made us reflect on the fact that somehow, it’s already been about two years since we brought No Man’s Sky to Xbox One! It doesn’t feel like that long, but it’s been so rewarding to watch that new community of players start their own journeys with the game and develop new social hubs in the universe.

Next month, we’ll also be updating the game to support release on the Windows 10 store. In the meantime, we wanted to write a little about the recent community activity both in and outside the game, with players creating incredible fan art, unlocking new game content, and participating in weekly missions.

Community Research

The Quicksilver Synthesis Companion has commenced work on the blueprint for a new collectible exotic: an articulated Atlas Interface figurine to decorate starship cockpits.

Progress on this new item is driven by Travellers contributing to multiplayer missions from The Nexus. Most recently, these contributions have unlocked 3 new decorative parts for bases. The Hardy Shrub, Ancient Conifer and Frozen Planter are native to glacial, ice-bound climates – but these domesticated varieties have been genetically engineered to thrive in any biome.

[IMG: https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2020/05/FrozenPlants-700x604.jpg]

Specialist Polo is delighted by all the Travellers sighted wearing the new Exosuit Backpack. The Gek mechanic seems especially pleased with the Quicksilver Robot’s handiwork on this item.

The backpack and frozen base ornaments are available now in exchange for Quicksilver, at the Synthesis Companion’s kiosk aboard the Space Anomaly.

Weekend Missions

It has been wonderful to see the collaborative spirit forming between veteran explorers and newer players on the weekend mission planets, with players working together to locate resources, share positive messages, and take down colossal sentinel walkers.

Beginning this weekend, there will be a short pause between seasons of weekend missions. These will be returning very soon, featuring new story content we’re really enjoying from one of the writers on Atlas Rises.

Community Spotlight

It’s always fun to see creatures and artifacts from the No Man’s Sky universe appearing in our reality. We enjoyed these monstrosity and ancient bones models by u/alexndefo!

This traditional media artwork by u/caspertattooart is absolutely stunning, and thank you for sharing the extra behind-the-scenes glimpse. Amazing work!

u/SpaghettiboiDudeMan has been producing too many wonderful pieces for us to feature them all, but these were a few of our favourites.

Thank you u/gochomer, u/Jack_Brown_Jnr, u/AcoupleofIrishfolk and u/Gek_Kevin for these great screenshots! Please keep them coming.

The team here are continuing to work hard on so much more for No Man’s Sky. We look forward to being ready to share more!
