Last week saw the launch of the Fractal update in No Man’s Sky which brought additions such as new ships, expeditions and even gyro controls to the Switch. Now, Hello Games has released the follow-up patch to solve any issues with the new content.
The ver. 4.12 update is mainly focussed on sorting out bugs that arose with the latest additions to the game. Many of these were focussed on consoles outside of the Switch, though the Nintendo version will see some of the fixes come its way.
As per usual, Hello Games has continued to improve the game based on user feedback and thanked those for playing the Fractal update in a recent blog post regarding today’s update. While this post also contained the full ver. 4.12 patch notes, we have assembled all of the new changes for you to check out below.
