Hello Games has released No Man’s Sky version 7.002 (v7.02) on September 14, 2026. This patch serves as a rapid follow-up to the 10th-anniversary “Cosmos” update, primarily addressing critical bugs affecting the newly introduced pilotable Corvettes and deep-space construction systems.

The update is currently live for players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. It focuses on resolving camera displacement issues and weapon collision bugs that appeared after the launch of the v7.0 Cosmos update on September 9.

Corvette and Construction Fixes

The headline changes in version 7.002 target the Corvette-class ships, a major feature of the Cosmos expansion. Players had reported significant alignment issues when attempting to fly these larger vessels from a cockpit perspective.

• First-Person Alignment: Fixed a bug that caused the camera to displace or misalign when switching to first-person view while piloting a Corvette.
• Phase Beam Correction: Resolved an issue where the Phase Beam weapon would inadvertently fire into the rear of the Corvette’s own cockpit model.
• Base Building Exploit: The Deep-Space Base Computer now requires the intended resources for placement, correcting a bug that allowed players to build it for free.

Graphics and Stability Improvements

In addition to gameplay fixes, the patch includes hardware-specific optimizations and stability updates to prevent crashes during multiplayer or streaming sessions.

• AMD GPU Fix: Addressed specific cloud rendering problems that occurred on systems using AMD graphics cards.
• Volumetric Fog: Improved general performance for volumetric fog effects across all platforms.
• Crash Resolutions: Fixed a crash related to frigate networking and a specific stability issue affecting PlayStation 5 streaming.
• UI Cleanup: Corrected a bug where mission notifications would display the raw “%TIME%” variable instead of the actual time remaining or required.

Context of the Cosmos Update

The 7.002 patch arrives less than a week after the massive 7.0 “Cosmos” update. That milestone release significantly expanded the scope of space exploration by introducing pilotable Corvettes, buildable Space Stations, and “Space Hulks”—derelict structures found in the deep vacuum. While 7.002 focuses on technical stability, it ensures the new “Deep-Space” mechanics function as intended following their anniversary debut.
