The highly anticipated No Man’s Sky Breach update has officially landed, bringing a treasure trove of new content that expands on the massive success of its Voyagers expansion. This update offers countless fresh incentives to embark on thrilling journeys through the cosmos, solidifying No Man’s Sky’s reputation as one of the best space games available on PC. The team at Hello Games continues to push boundaries, and the Breach update is packed with opportunities, from investigating derelict starships to earning unique Atlas-inspired ship upgrades and even delving into a special, spine-chilling narrative perfect for the Halloween season.
The previous Voyagers update saw No Man’s Sky’s player count skyrocket on Steam, a testament to its brilliant enhancements. Hello Games completely reimagined starship mechanics, enabling entire crews to travel and enjoy life aboard their vessels. Hello Games founder Sean Murray expressed his delight, noting that this overhaul has created some of his “favorite moments” from the past nine years and instantly inspired the team to work on this new update. The No Man’s Sky Breach update masterfully capitalizes on this monumental ship redesign.

For those eager to expand their ship-building capabilities, the newly introduced space wrecks are an invaluable resource for salvaging upgrades. These scattered husks across the galaxies provide a compelling reason to don your space-suit and venture outside your vessel. Murray highlights that “floating in space outside of your ship has really resonated with players and provides these tranquil moments of calm that I love,” emphasizing the unique tranquility these scavenging missions offer.
Murray further hints at the riches awaiting daring Travellers: “Many such wrecks have begun to appear throughout the far reaches of space, and there are rewards for the bravest of Travellers prepared to scavenge from them, including new vertical and structural parts, which allow players to build colossal ships, and rare, glowing Atlas-themed wings, engines, and features.” Indeed, among the exciting new additions are a variety of components inspired by The Atlas itself, boasting its iconic red and black aesthetic.
Accompanying the update is the Breach expedition, which focuses on exploring exotic purple-star solar systems. Murray describes these systems as having “particularly fun to explore with their deeper oceans, incredible terrains, and volatile gas giants.” He adds that this expedition specifically “guides players towards the new space wrecks, and is a great way to salvage some new, rare ship parts.”

Delving deeper, the expedition will lead you through “a desolate and abandoned universe” to uncover the chilling story behind an enormous, abandoned hulk on the fringes of known space. Successfully navigating this treacherous journey and salvaging its remains will not only grant you exclusive parts and modules for your ship-building endeavors but also reveal a sinister narrative perfectly suited for the Halloween season.
