No Man’s Sky will receive a new update, version 5.074, aimed at fixing a variety of bugs and improving player experience, especially for those stranded far from teleporters in the In Stellar Multitudes event. This patch will be available on consoles and PC, delivering several technical fixes and gameplay adjustments.
One notable fix targets players who have traveled a long distance from the first purple system generated during In Stellar Multitudes and found themselves without nearby teleporters to return to. The update implements a recovery solution to address this frustrating situation, which should make life easier for explorers caught in this predicament.
