Hello Games has released Update 7.0 Cosmos for No Man's Sky to celebrate 10 years of continuous development. The massive patch lets players construct custom space stations, explore infested derelicts, and chart paths through an improved galaxy map. Like every major expansion before it, the update arrives completely free of charge.
You can now run an orbital station. The new management mechanics allow players to claim, design, and expand their own space hubs while forming political alliances across different star systems. Space travel also brings fresh dangers with alien trade posts and wrecked freighters overrun by hostile biological creatures. If you feel reckless, the game even lets you fly directly into a star, though the outcome is fatal every time.
Charting routes across deep space is much easier now. The update completely revamps the galaxy map to provide clear route planning between distant star systems. Players can also embark on fresh expeditions focused on scavenging high value loot from abandoned ships drifting in deep space.
This release marks a full decade since the rough launch of the original game. The community frequently marvels at the fact that Hello Games refuses to charge a single dollar for expansions of this scale. After 10 years of constant support and massive content drops, the studio has delivered one of the most successful turnarounds in modern gaming history.
