An amazing (and massive) new No Man's Sky update just dropped (for free) - No Man's Sky Voyagers 6.0. A Star Citizen like, liveable new Corvette ship tier has been introduced. You craft it yourself, fly with a friend crew (if you like), explore far and wide.

As mentioned in the deep dive video, it uses new tech simultaneously being developed for both No Man's Sky and the forthcoming Light No Fire.

This is the 49th major update to No Man's Sky across these nine years (total updates so far: 251 -- all free).

Here's a fly-by with the new trees. The fact that they cast/receive shadows even in the distance makes a huge difference compared to the old Unity billboard ones, which destroyed the sense of depth in the distance.

The camera is flying over a landscape with many trees.
