Space is rife with danger at every turn, especially with meddlesome pirates lurking around. Thankfully, the Outlaws update for No Man’s Sky gives you all the tools to fight back.
On Wednesday, Hello Games finally let the Outlaws update loose for everyone that owns No Man’s Sky. It’s more or less a mini-expansion that’s free for anyone that owns the game. We’ll discuss some of the new features in this patch below.
No Man’s Sky Update 3.85 features
There’s a lot in Outlaws, though Solar Ships might be the most significant addition. These high-tech starships harness the power of the stars to travel great distances efficiently and won’t hurt your resources much. Procedurally generated Solar power goodness and all that.
Next up is Outlaw Stations. Various star systems are under no-good outlaw control and have technology merchants selling stolen goods. There are also new mission agents at these outposts if you don’t mind working for good-for-nothing pirates. Massive Metroid vibes here.
If taking the fight to intergalactic freebooters is more your thing, that’s possible with the ramped-up space combat. Hello Games have made space dogfights faster and sleeker here.
There are many more additions in quality of life additions in Outlaws, which you can check out via the official patch notes for No Man’s Sky. Check out the trailer below to see some of this in action.
It’s wild to think that No Man’s Sky was a disaster at launch. Now, it’s one of the best space games! We love a comeback story.
