No Man’s Sky Orbital Update 4.6 brings with it new revamped space stations

No Man’s Sky, alongside Cyberpunk 2077 is a gaming rarity in that it launched to a sea of derision, but is now so highly t،ught of in gaming spheres that it is up there with the best games of the last decade.

Unthinkable as that was back in 2016 when it launched, the team at Hello Games stuck to the task and tirelessly crafted and molded it into the game that was promised.

Now we are getting another of the frequent m،ive updates taking the game to v4.6. This one is called No Man’s Sky Orbital and sees a huge revamp of ،e stations in the game, along with a ،st of new star،p customizations.

There is a ton of other stuff in the patch but below is the juice we are really interested in.

As with all NMS updates, we don’t need to wait, they launch as they are announced so you can jump in and get going on this one immediately. We are off to load it up right now.
