No Man’s Sky Update 7.05, released on September 30, 2026, is now live across all platforms including PC, consoles, and VR headsets. This update focuses on resolving a critical progression blocker in the current expedition and introduces technical refinements for the corvette ship class and Nintendo Switch hardware.

Expedition Progression and Milestone Fixes

The primary fix in Update 7.05 addresses a progression blocker in the Beacon milestone. Previously, manual building upgrades performed through control terminals failed to register correctly, preventing players from advancing. This fix ensures that terminal interactions now properly trigger milestone completion.

Corvette Ship Class and Base Building

The corvette ship class receives specific stability improvements. Hello Games has addressed an issue where ship hatches would load in the incorrect open or closed state. Additionally, a new external control button has been added to these vessels to improve accessibility for pilots.

For players engaged in orbital construction, a new “reset space station base” option has been added. This feature allows players to completely dismantle a station-based outpost and reclaim all construction parts for use in other projects.

Technical Optimizations and Platform Updates

Update 7.05 introduces targeted performance improvements for both high-end and portable hardware:

  • PlayStation 5: Significant memory optimizations have been implemented to improve overall system stability.
  • Nintendo Switch & Switch 2: Corrected rendering errors specifically affecting vignette and scanline effects across both generations of Switch hardware.
  • Discovery System: Fixed a bug where snake-like creatures were incorrectly flagged as extinct immediately after being discovered by a player.

Historical Context and Correction

While recent content like the Autophage arrived in Update 4.40 (Echoes), foundational features such as Relaxed Mode and the significant UI overhaul were introduced in Update 4.0 (Waypoint). Update 7.05 continues this trajectory of iterative refinement for the various playstyles established in those earlier versions.

Full technical details for this release can be found on the official No Man’s Sky release log.
