Summary
No Man’s Skyhas released another hotfix update to address a few bugs that seemingly slipped through the last round of fixes. While it’s not an incredibly large update by any means, the recently releasedNo Man’s Skyversion 5.56 patch released on June 09, 2025, takes care of some crashes and other issues that have been persisting in the outer space exploration game.
No Man’s Skyreleased its first February updatejust a day ago, fixing 25 different bugs that affected large tools like the teleporter and Nautilon platform not functioning properly. It also resolved some more interesting bugs, like trader starships plummeting from the sky unexpectedly just after takeoff from gas giants, starships sounding like they were landing on water despite touching down on dry land, and holograms, underwater bases, and entire star systems in the galaxy map going completely invisible for some players.
This second February update isn’t nearly as large, but it will be particularly important forNo Man’s Skyplayers on PlayStationconsoles. According to the patch notes, some players who have been playing the PlayStation 4 version of the game on PlayStation 5 have been running into game-ending crashes, and the bug causing this issue is one of the five items that the version 5.56 patch fixes.
The patch also addresses some issues with features that were added in the bigNo Man’s SkyWorlds Part 2 updatethat was released at the end of January. One of the new features in Worlds Part 2 is the Titan Expedition, a gameplay mode that sees players starting out on one of the game’s new gas giant planets and exploring all of the new features included in the expansion. Although they weren’t addressed in the previous patch, three of the five new bug fixes are related to these Titan Expeditions. According to the patch notes, previously existing bugs had been causing Titan Expeditions to incorrectly identify and locate water worlds, had been incorrectly telling some players who hadn’t completed the mode that they had already received its Pillar of Titan reward, and sometimes halted players' mission progression after they built a floating Nautilon Chamber as instructed.
Hello Games has been regularly updating its space adventure game since its launch more than eight years ago.No Man’s Skywas the second-biggest PS4 launchat the time of its release in terms of sales figures. While many fans turned away quickly due to the original version’s bare-bones procedurally generated planets, the development team has worked consistently to continue piling on additional content through free updates.
No Man’s Sky
WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe. Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery. No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence. How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets. The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
