Hello Games is back with another patch for No Man’s Sky, working to address some of the problems that arose with the recent Interceptor update.
The fixes this time around range across a series of bugs from interior design options to problems with the recently-introduced corruption challenges. As we have come to expect from the developers, many of these problems were submitted by players and have been taken on board and tweaked to continue to improve the overall game experience.
This update is now available on Steam, with Hello Games stating that it will be blasting over to other consoles “as soon as possible”.
The full patch notes were published over on the official No Man’s Sky website, and we have collected them together for you to have a look through below.
