The wingspan for Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky continues to leave many in awe with the number of updates that continues to come out – and none cost players anything. The most recent actually came in portions: Worlds Part I shipped with slew of quality of life improvements while Worlds Part II arrived later including New Biomes, Gas Giants, and water revamp.

Additionally, other updates also left players excited too. In October 2024, ‘The Cursed’ featured new elements like Time-Bending Anomalies, Portals, and Potion Brewing. Elsewhere in 2025 this past March, ‘Relics’ welcomed Bartering, Dig Site Adventures, and Skeletal Customization as part of its suite of features for the update.

Now this week, the newest update ‘Beacon’ is out now. Atop of that, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is also available as well. You can watch the update trailer in the video below:

“Expand your planetary empire in No Man’s Sky BEACON. Become Overseer of multiple planetary settlements, and discover the townships of the secretive robotic Autophage. Introducing improved settlement balance, more variety of management decisions, building upgrades, infestations, new base parts and more!” the summary for the Beacon update reads.

“Added support for the Nintendo Switch 2. Players who already own No Man’s Sky on Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition via a free upgrade pack from the Nintendo eShop,” the patch notes reads. “Added support for multiplayer on Nintendo Switch 2, including support for Game Chat and in-game Friend List display. (Nintendo Switch Online account required.)”
