No Man's Sky Voyagers Update Introduces Custom Corvette Starships
Hello Games continues its incredible run of free content updates for No Man's Sky with the release of the "Voyagers" update. This substantial update, designated version 6.0, brings a wealth of new features, headlined by the highly anticipated ability to construct and customize personal Corvette-class starships.
Build Your Dream Corvette
The core of the Voyagers update revolves around player freedom in starship design. Players can now embark on building their very own Corvette-class starship from the ground up, tailoring it to their specific needs and preferences. This modular approach allows for extensive customization, including various hull sections, connecting corridors, and interior layouts. To begin this ambitious project, aspiring starship captains will need to visit a dedicated workshop found within space stations across the galaxy.
What sets these Corvettes apart is the immersive experience they offer. During warp jumps or routine travels between planets, players are free to leave the captain’s chair and explore their vessel. You can walk through every corridor, inspect your quarters, or even open an airlock and step out into the vacuum of space. Each compartment acts as a fully realized 3D environment, accessible whether you're playing alone or with friends. For those who enjoy cooperative play, a mission board onboard the starship allows players to register as crew members and tackle localized system tasks together.
As adventurers venture deeper into the cosmos, upgrading their Corvette will become essential. The update introduces various functional modules like advanced reactors, powerful engines, and robust shield generators. These critical components can be purchased or discovered as valuable loot. Containers scattered across countless planets throughout the galaxy hide these precious resources, encouraging exploration. For players eager to assemble their first Corvette quickly, a limited-time community expedition is available, offering unique rewards. This expedition weaves a narrative where your primary vessel is severely damaged, forcing you to construct a Corvette to defend against an encroaching Sentinel horde.
Further Enhancements in Update 6.0
Beyond the impressive starships, the Voyagers update brings numerous other improvements and additions:
- The new Skyborn Exosuit, comprising five unique equipment pieces.
- A new Mech-Mouse companion, unlocked after completing the aforementioned community expedition. This companion comes equipped with its own built-in flashlight.
- Enhanced character lighting, making your explorer look better than ever.
- Improved rendering and lighting for 3D objects across the game world.

- Functionality to copy and paste friend codes on PC and macOS for easier connections.
- Support for NVIDIA DLSS 4, enhancing performance and visual fidelity on compatible hardware.
