No Man’s Sky Endurance Update Focuses on Freighters and Frigates

By
No Man's Sky Endurance Update

What was once considered a massive disaster, No Man’s Sky has continued to show what a game can be if a developer is focused on bringing it back from the brink. Now, with yet another update to the game, called the Endurance Update, Hello Games continues to show that they’re dedicated to the game.

The Endurance update focuses on those massive ships that players can use as bases of operations – Freighters. This is a complete overhaul of the freighters and will provide players with lots of new things to play around with.  This update is currently available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Nintendo Switch will see the Endurance patch in early October. 

Endurance brings a complete overhaul of freighters and fleets, allowing players to live and work aboard their home in the stars, together with their own crew. A new bridge brings a range of quality of life improvements, with instant access to warping and teleportation. Players can now build vast freighter bases on a scale not seen before with specially themed areas and new features for growing food and manufacturing, and new technology like the ability to scan and analyze planets from space.

One of the most striking changes is to asteroids in space which are now more varied and appear in vast fields, with thousands on screen at once. There are new interstellar style black holes, nebulae, and space atmospherics to explore. Travelers can enjoy these new incredible space vistas from windows and portholes, which they can now build on their freighters. Players can also build exterior sections to their freighters for increased flexibility, or simply to admire the universe from.

Did we mention that this update is free?
