No Man’s Sky has received its newest free expansion called Voyagers, and it’s one of the most ambitious updates yet. The patch adds Corvette-class starships, multiplayer crews, and spacewalking, while also improving visuals and performance. Hello Games confirmed that the technology behind this update will also drive its next big project, Light No Fire, giving players an early taste of the future.
Launched nine years after the game’s rocky debut, Voyagers continues the trend of turning No Man’s Sky into a living, evolving space adventure. Players can now design and build massive ships, walk inside them, decorate interiors, and even invite friends on board as a crew. The update not only redefines how ships work in the game but also changes the way players explore the universe, whether by skydiving from a Corvette, warping across galaxies, or teaming up on new missions. With graphical upgrades, performance boosts, and a six-week community expedition to unlock exclusive rewards, Hello Games is once again proving that its space sim still has plenty of surprises in store.

No Man’s Sky: A new era of starships
The highlight of Voyagers is the Corvette Ship Class, huge customizable vessels that come with interiors, mission systems, and the ability to host multiplayer crews. Players can design their own Corvettes using modules like wings, engines, radars, teleporters, and sleeping quarters. The update even allows spacewalking and skydiving from ships, changing how players experience exploration.
No Man’s Sky: Multiplayer and missions
For the first time, crews can gather on the same ship to complete missions together. The new Corvette mission board lets players register as a team, share objectives, and collect rewards. A dedicated “Corvette Expedition” will also run for about six weeks, offering exclusive items such as the Mecha-Mouse companion, decals, and jetpack trails.

Alongside new gameplay features, Hello Games has improved graphics and performance. The update adds DLSS 4, Intel XeSS 2, and PlayStation PSSR support, sharper lighting, better cloud shadows, and smoother rendering. Performance optimisations cut down load times and boost framerates on both PC and consoles.
Studio founder Sean Murray said the technology behind Voyagers is also being used in Light No Fire, a new project set on a shared, Earth-sized open world. While there is no release date yet, the crossover of features shows how Hello Games is building towards even larger experiences.
Nine years on, still growing
No Man’s Sky first launched in 2016 to a rough start, but nine years later the game has transformed with regular free updates. Voyagers follows last year’s Worlds Part I and II, proving the studio’s continued commitment to expand the universe. To mark the anniversary, Hello Games also released new merchandise, including plushies, vinyl soundtracks, and apparel.
