Hello Games is still supporting No Man's Sky with free updates and events. The studio's most recent release is the 10th anniversary community expedition "Our Journey Continues." A Palworld collaboration remains only a possibility after Sean Murray's positive response to a fan post.
Hello Games has spent the summer and early fall of 2026 marking a decade of No Man's Sky. On August 11, founder Sean Murray published a message ahead of the game's 10th anniversary, which he said falls on August 9, 2016 as the launch date. In that message he named the next update COSMOS and gave no details or release timing. He also said players have explored less than 1% of the universe and that the studio has delivered 40 free major updates.
The COSMOS update did not arrive under that name. On September 9, the studio released a Version 7.0 update, and at that time it said a community expedition was coming soon. The expedition, titled "Our Journey Continues," arrived on September 17 and runs about six weeks from release. Its rewards draw on the game's own history: framed art based on major update cover art, a bobblehead based on an in-game test asset, a Multi-Tool designed from pre-release concept art, and restored ships.
Between those two releases, on August 19, Murray responded positively to a post about a potential Palworld collaboration. Pocketpair publishing head John Buckley had repeatedly expressed interest before that. Murray's reaction was the first positive response in an exchange that had seemed one-sided, and it raised hopes for a collaboration between the two games.
The three stories leave the studio's other project, Light No Fire, confirmed as in the works but with no release timing. No Man's Sky remains the active thread: an anniversary message in August, a Version 7.0 update in September, and a six-week expedition that followed.
