Overview
- No Man’s Sky, which turned ten on Sunday, prompted an open letter from Hello Games founder Sean Murray that announced a teaser for the next major update called “COSMOS.”
- Hello Games reported its highest player figures since launch in 2026 and credited dozens of free updates for restoring community support and positive reviews.
- Over the past decade the studio delivered roughly 40 major, free updates that added base building, multiplayer, mechs, living ships, custom ships, and other systems that were missing at launch.
- Hello Games remains a small UK studio of roughly dozens of staff that has avoided big marketing pushes and used live updates to iterate features rather than sell paid expansions.
- Work on the follow-up game Light No Fire continues and its technology has already influenced recent No Man’s Sky updates, though the new title has no release date and further details remain unconfirmed.
