No Man’s Sky’s new update lets players go full space pirate

No Man’s Sky adventurers can step into the darker, grittier side of space travel with Wednesday’s free update, Outlaws. Outlaws focuses on the criminal underworld of No Man’s Sky, which has been the showcase for the space exploration game so far. While players can already hunt down rogue pirates, shoot ships for loot, and sail with cargo, Outlaws gives us the tools we need to forge our own galactic crime syndicates.
Outlaws updates space combat and introduces the first new ship class to the game in over two years – the Solar Sailboat. Players will also be allowed to recruit and hire their own wing squads. No Man’s Sky players had colonies full of NPCs, as well as nice characters to lead frigates for us; now we can bring our friends into battle to lend a hand.
Players will also be able to smuggle illegal goods, which comes with risks due to those pesky space authorities. Fortunately, captains can now falsify passports and evade cargo scans. This should make the monotonous process of heading to a port or warping around the galaxy much more interesting; after all, if you commit the crime, the Sentinels will show up and expect you to do the weather (or probably fall under their space lasers).
Some space stations are in outlaw systems, which conflict and are rough and rowdy places. It’s easier for players to steal other ships and end up in junk in outlaw systems. Players will also have to protect their own people, as enemy pirate ships can also attack their settlements. Those who dig into the underworld can find pirate missions, black market technology and goods, and lots and lots of profit.
Recent No Man’s Sky updates have focused more on the planetary aspect of the game, such as the addition of settlements and giant sandworms. It’s interesting to see Hello Games going back into space and making this element of the game deeper and more dangerous.
There are also some nice quality-of-life updates with Outlaws, like an auto-tracking mode for space combat, and an increase in the number of ships a player can own, from six to nine.
No Man’s Sky Outlaws was released Wednesday for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X versions of the game. Hello Games is bringing its space exploration game to Nintendo Switch this summer, and the port will include all No Man’s Skyexisting updates.
