Overview of Update 5.56 for No Man’s Sky
- A recent update, version 5.56, was deployed for No Man’s Sky on February 13, 2025, aimed at resolving various crashes and persistent issues.
- This patch is particularly beneficial for PlayStation users, addressing critical crashes on the PS5 and issues tied to the Titan Expeditions feature.
The ongoing development of No Man’s Sky continues with the latest hotfix, version 5.56, launched on February 13, 2025. While not monumental in scale, this patch effectively tackles several game-breaking bugs that players have encountered during their cosmic adventures.
Just a day prior, the game received its first February update, which addressed 25 different bugs affecting various gameplay mechanics, including teleporters and the Nautilon platform’s functionality. Outrageous bugs were also resolved, such as trader starships crashing unexpectedly and bizarre audio issues where starships sounded as if they were landing on water while actually touching down on solid ground. Players also faced issues with visibility, rendering holograms, underwater bases, and even entire star systems invisible at times.
Though this latest update is smaller, it holds particular significance for players utilizing PlayStation consoles. According to the official patch notes, users running the PlayStation 4 version on the PS5 reported game-ending crashes, which this hotfix addresses among the critical fixes.
This patch also seeks to rectify problems stemming from the recent No Man’s Sky Worlds Part 2 update, which debuted at the end of January. Notable among the new features introduced were the Titan Expeditions, which facilitate players’ exploration of new gas giant planets. The patch addresses three significant bugs affecting these expeditions, including incorrect detection of water worlds and erroneous notifications regarding the Pillar of Titan reward status. Additionally, players occasionally experienced mission halts after constructing a floating Nautilon Chamber.
Since its launch over eight years ago, No Man’s Sky has steadily evolved through regular updates by Hello Games. Initially debuting as the second-largest PS4 launch by sales, the game faced criticism for its incomplete features. However, through continuous improvements and expansions, it has garnered a dedicated player base and rejuvenated interest in its expansive universe.
