No Man's Sky Patch Notes

Blimey, Hello Games sure are building up No Man's Sky into a game that just has a bit of everything aren't they? The Swarm Update has warped in. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/fight-off-deadly-swarms-and-a-big-space-hive-in-the-latest-no-mans-sky-update/

It's hard to think that No Man's Sky is nearly ten years old. I remember being there in the glorious summer of 2016. Pokémon GO was all the rage, but I was even more excited for Hello Games' space game to drop. As we know, it was an underwhelming launch, and so would begin one of the best comeback stories in modern gaming. No longer the bland, isolated experience of yesteryear, No Man's Sky is now one of the genre's heaviest hitters. What better way is there to celebrate that than by pulling us all together and having us face off against a giant drone armada?

It's the Death Star! Well, sort of. It's a big robo-eye invading the galaxy with a swarm of killer drones, as No Man's Sky goes a bit Helldivers 2-ish in its latest update. Dubbed The Swarm, it'll see folks filed away from their not quite Pokemon battles to join three factions who'll need to work together in ship battles to fend off a big Robo-eye with a space station-scorching laser.

No Man's Sky is steadily turning into the everything game isn't it? Hello Games have released another big upgrade for it recently adding creature battling. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/no-mans-sky-channels-a-little-pokemon-with-the-xeno-arena-update/

You can't really go wrong with creature collecting. Give me a colorful world with cute critters to capture and pit against one another and my wallet is yours. It's what being raised on a diet of Pokémon and Digimon will do to a person; not that I'm complaining. No Man's Sky already sports some incredible views from the space game's generated planets, and you've been able to tame many of its Xenos for several years. The only thing that's been missing is some good ol' fashioned brawling, but its freshly-launched Xeno Arena update changes that. Read the rest of the story...

Ooh, it hasn't got a Pokemon-style mode that lets you collect a bunch of alien critters and force them to fight to the death in a fashion that might be deemed barbaric if it wasn't so bloodless and cutesy. That would've likely been my answer if you'd asked me what ever-growing No Man's Sky doesn't have at this point before I read about its latest update. That latest update, Xeno Arena, adds in Pokemon-style alien critter collecting and battling mechanics. Read more

I'll just give it to you straight: No Man's Sky is Pokémon now. There's nothing you or I can do about it. Today's update, Xeno Arena, will let you amass a little cadre of vicious alien beasts and pit them against one another in holo-arenas, presumably to the holo-death... Read more.

No Man's Sky is gradually turning into a playground, and now you can mess with physics in the No Man's Sky Remnant update. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/02/no-mans-sky-remnant-update-brings-a-fancy-gravity-gun-and-customizable-trucks/

Look at all the mess lying around. You can't move for discarded detritus on the planets of No Man's Sky. Good news, then, that the space sandbox's latest update delivers a gravity gun and interstellar rubbish collection lorries that'll help clean those worlds up a bit. Read more
