GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

Hello Games introduced Update 7.0, Cosmos, which overhauls space content in No Man’s Sky. Players can become director of a space station with customizable interiors and exteriors, found galactic alliances with names and banners, and construct space bases. The update also adds a new star system map, mechanics for stripping derelict hulks for parts and hauling physical salvage to remote outposts, and deep-space outposts inhabited by alien lifeforms; it arrives alongside the Our Journey Continues expedition marking the game's tenth anniversary.

• What happened: Update 7.0, Cosmos, expands space gameplay by letting players direct and outfit space stations, found alliances, build space bases, use a new star system map, strip colossal hulks for parts, recover and transport physical salvage, and visit deep-space outposts occupied by alien lifeforms.
• Why it matters: The changes introduce formal ownership and cooperative systems (station directorship and alliances) and new mid-space activities (salvage and hulks), shifting more gameplay and progression into orbital and deep-space environments.
• Context: This release is identified as Update 7.0, Cosmos, and is presented as part of the Our Journey Continues expedition celebrating No Man’s Sky’s ten-year milestone.
• What next: The provided evidence does not confirm a rollout schedule, platform availability, or any additional future features beyond what is described in the Cosmos update.
