Hello Games announced that it’s working on a new No Man’s Sky patch to help fix some of the issues that have arisen following the launch of its latest Outlaws expansion.
Said expansion was free and arrived last week adding a bunch of new content like new ship types, improved space combat, smuggling, the ability to own up to 9 ships, in-atmosphere combat, bigger cargo holds, recruitable fighter squadrons, and much more. You can check out a trailer outlining the new additions here.
Unfortunately, when you add new content to games, especially to universe-spanning behemoths like No Man’s Sky, new problems can occasionally arise, which is exactly what this new Update 3.87 is targeted at.
Patch 3.87 will apparently “be live on all platforms soon.”
Here’s a full rundown of the what to expect from Update 3.87:
