No Man’s Sky COSMOS update lets you build your own space stations and so much more

In celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary, the team at Hello Games previously teased their next major update coming to No Man’s Sky. Dubbed ‘COSMOS’ the update has now officially gone live – letting you now build your own space stations; deep-space bases; join alliances and much more.

As has always been the case, the official unveiling of the latest update to No Man’s Sky arrived alongside its launch, letting players immediately get stuck into all that is new.

Unsurprisingly, the update is a meaty one, and includes far more patch notes than could be listed here. That said, some of the most notable changes / additions include the following:

• You can now purchase, customise and expand your own space station
• You can now join Galactic Alliances with other players to expand your influence
• Deep-space outposts can now be discovered and explored
• You can now build free-floating bases anywhere in space (as well as on natural rock platforms floating about)
• New Colossal shipwrecks can be discovered in deep-space
• 10 year anniversary Expedition celebrating the past decade of updates
• Overhauled interactive Star System map
• New rare resources to extract

• Updated rendering system for planetary terrain detail
• Hundreds of new decorative station parts
• Ice Fields
• Biohazard Cleanup Operations
• Enhanced particle lighting
• Improved planetary cloud rendering from space
• “Reinvented” space exploration with “outposts, abandoned freighters, asteroid belts, anomalies, and other points of interest spawning at re-visitable fixed locations.”
• You can now travel to the sun in each system…at your own risk
• Much more.

Based on the fact that it was teased in advance of its release, it was safe to assume that the COSMOS update would be a big one. Even so, Hello Games have once again managed to exceed all expectations.
