The Omega update is here!

Hello Games starts the year with a very different kind of update. It's called Omega and for the first time No Man's Sky will be available to play for free!

Expeditions in No Man's Sky have become one of the most popular ways to play the game. They bring all players together on the same planet for a shared interstellar experience. This weekend (Thursday, February 15 to Monday, February 19) all players, whether they own the game or not, will be able to join the Omega Expedition.

This represents a great time for new players to try out No Man's Sky and for more experienced players to welcome them into the community. There are no microtransactions or free to play mechanics, just a huge universe to explore for free with your friends.

The Omega update also brings a complete overhaul of expeditions, new planet missions, a new pirate battleship, and much more. Discover all the details by entering here.
