No Man's Sky's Cosmos Update Lets Players Own Space Stations and Reach the Sun

Add to Google Preferred Sources Hello Games has released the Cosmos update for No Man's Sky, marking the game's 10th anniversary with what the studio calls its biggest overhaul of outer space yet. The free update adds player-owned space stations, free-floating orbital bases, player alliances with ranked leaderboards, space hulks that can be salvaged for scrap, new alien trading outposts, asteroid belts with buildable surfaces, and an interactive star map. Players can also finally attempt to reach the sun at the center of their star system. The accompanying Our Journey Continues expedition functions as a retrospective museum, unlocking features from all 40 major updates released since 2016 with developer commentary. The update continues a decade-long redemption arc for a game that faced heavy criticism at its 2016 launch but has since become a benchmark for post-launch support.
