No Man's Sky is in its 10th anniversary rollout. Hello Games released the Version 7.0 COSMOS update on September 9, 2026, followed by the community expedition Our Journey Continues. The studio continues to support the game alongside its other project, Light No Fire.
No Man's Sky spent 2026 marking ten years since its August 2016 launch. A May update, The Swarm, sorted players into three factions through an aptitude test and set them against a structure called the Hive of Glass, with faction progress tracked on a bulletin board and a permanent record of the winning faction. In August, the studio's founder, Sean Murray, said players had explored less than 1% of the universe and that the game had received 40 free major updates. He named the next one, COSMOS, without giving a date.
COSMOS arrived on September 9 as Version 7.0, built around space rather than planets. It added space stations players can own and decorate inside and out, outposts with new quests, asteroid belts with rare minerals, and space hulks players loot by jumping from their ships. Bases can now be built in space, alliances can be formed with other players, and the sun can be approached. A star map tracks locations, and space maneuvering and terrain rendering were improved. A discount sale ran on multiple platforms at release.
The community expedition Our Journey Continues followed on September 17 and runs about six weeks. 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. On August 19, Murray responded warmly to a post about a potential Palworld collaboration after Pocketpair publishing head John Buckley had repeatedly expressed interest.
