No Man's Sky Gets Another Free Content Update - Hello Games Director Intros "Remnant"
Hello, in 2025, No Man's Sky Travellers were treated to one of our biggest years yet. Even we struggle to know how we pulled off so many large updates last year—Worlds Part II and Voyagers were both transformational and released in the same year, interspersed with smaller but significant updates in Relics, Beacon and Breach. We're pleased to announce that our first update of 2026, our 10th anniversary year, is already rolling out. It's called Remnant, and it introduces something that we and the community have been aching to introduce to No Man's Sky since the beginning… a fully operational gravity gun! Full patch notes are available here.
The Gravitino Coil is a powerful new anti-gravity module for your multi-tool. It turns No Man's Sky into a physics playground. Allowing you to grab large objects and fling, toss or carefully carry them around the world. Salvage and debris that could always be found on planets can now be collected and recycled for rare and highly prized resources. New trucks, tipping flatbeds and haulers can be constructed, to transport resources back to industrial yards for reclamation. You can work alone or join a salvage crew with friends. It creates this really fun and tactile new loop of searching for wrecks, loading trucks full of cargo and hauling across the alien landscape to industrial yards to gain new loot and rewards.
Sorting and depositing materials in these all-new Waste Processing Plants will reap great rewards. Some of the scrap is highly volatile though and must be transported extremely carefully.
It's hard to resist over-stacking your truck, finding one more piece you think you can cram in, and then trying desperately to transport this house of cards on the back of your flatbed!
Our gravity gun is an industrial tool, but it can also be used as a ballistic weapon, grabbing sentinels or fling heavy objects, turning them into projectiles.
Vehicles can be hugely customized, to create bespoke trucks and haulers for your needs. Build your own brightly colored incinerators, spider legged sci-fi explorers or heavily armed military vehicles with tank tracks.
The Remnant Update comes with a limited-time community expedition. It brings Travellers together in convoys to clean up and reclaim a planet covered in wrecks and salvage. Perhaps you'll be a hauler, or the gravity gun wielding ground crew or maybe a scrap yard operator.
There are beautiful rewards, including dozens of new vehicle parts, and an all-new beautifully crafted armor set, with plush, padded fabrics and ornate steam punk detailing.
2026 represents 10 years since we launched, and I couldn't be prouder. For any game to reach such a milestone is a privilege. It wouldn't be possible without your continued support and we genuinely appreciate it.
Our journey continues.

1. This game is a great example of what NOT to do when making a game.
2. The fact that it somehow still get's actual content updates for free can inspire new/future game devs that maybe they do not have to sell their souls to the devil (read - publishers/investors) and abandon their project just to rush to the next project for "quick" money (depends on the genre/game of course).
Not a fanboy by a long shot, but credit where credit is due. Of course, it is because they are online games and long support equals more games sold.
