No Man's Sky Cosmos update lets players fly to the sun, brings galactic alliances and space base construction

Hello Games has announced another major content drop for No Man's Sky that celebrates the game's 10th anniversary with overhauls and new features, including being able to travel to the center of a star system and build a space station.

No Man's Sky Cosmos, the latest free content drop from Hello Games, updates the game to v7.0 with big redesigns. Cosmos is the capstone to 10 years of space sim evolution and makes some key changes to navigation, including a new system map that "reinvents" exploration. The star systems feel more alive because they're now filled with emergent and interactive moments, and players can now venture right to the sun of each system for the first time ever.

"With Cosmos we wanted to make space feel truly alive. We've added asteroid belts, space hulks, outposts, missions, strange anomalies, and tons of mystery to explore. There's so much to do in space that we've added a beautiful map to plot and keep track of every system," Hello Games' Sean Murray said on the PlayStation Blog.

Gamers can also build space stations, forge strategic alliances with other like-minded players, and even walk (via EVA) and build on asteroid surfaces. Deep space outposts offer some lighter space trucker roleplaying opportunities after salvaging space hulk wreckage and exploring asteroids for resources.

It sounds like more No Man's Sky content is on the way, which is to be expected: "Cosmos is a massive update, but it's also just another step in our journey together," Murray said.
