No Man's Sky patch 5.50: everything you need to know

No Man's Sky, the expansive space exploration game, continues its impressive run of updates with version 5.50, "Worlds Part II." This massive update introduces a plethora of new features, dramatically reshaping the game's landscapes and underwater environments. A new trailer highlights the enhanced visuals, including improved lighting, diverse new biomes and terrains, and fascinating deep-sea creatures.

The update significantly overhauls world generation. Players will discover dramatically altered landscapes featuring towering mountains, hidden valleys, and expansive plains. The game's universe expands further with a new type of star system, including colossal gas giants boasting dynamic atmospheric effects. New environmental hazards add another layer of challenge, including toxic clouds, volcanic eruptions, thermal geysers, and radioactive fallout.

Exploration extends to the depths of the ocean, allowing players to descend miles beneath the surface. The crushing darkness of the abyss, where sunlight fails to penetrate, creates a unique and eerie atmosphere, illuminated only by bioluminescent coral. Here, players will encounter bizarre and alien lifeforms in truly otherworldly environments.

Beyond the new content, this update also enhances existing features. An improved inventory management system allows players to automatically sort items based on various parameters such as name, type, value, or color. Fishing and marine life have also received updates, and numerous bugs have been squashed. For a complete list of changes, visit the official No Man's Sky website.
