No Man’s Sky ‘Breach’ Update Adds Fully Explorable Space Wrecks and a New Expedition
No Man’s Sky continues its remarkable comeback with Breach, a fresh update that follows August’s substantial Voyagers expansion. The headline feature: fully explorable, floating space wrecks you can board and salvage for materials, which unlock new ship-building parts. Hello Games also says Breach improves and expands the in-game workshop introduced alongside Voyagers, which finally let players build their own fully crewed ships.
What’s new in Breach
- Space wreck exploration: Board derelicts, scavenge parts and resources, and use them to unlock new components for custom ships.
- Workshop upgrades: Enhancements to the ship construction systems popularized by Voyagers, with more ways to tinker.
- New expedition: A time-limited, story-driven journey across a desolate universe to uncover the fate of a mysterious wreck, with rare rewards (including glowing Atlas-themed wings).
Why it matters
- Deeper progression: Salvaging derelicts ties exploration directly to ship customization and progression.
- Seasonal vibes: The expedition’s eerie tone lands right in time for Halloween co-op runs with friends.
- Momentum ahead of a milestone: As No Man’s Sky approaches its 10th anniversary in 2026, ongoing updates keep the universe fresh.
Context: From Voyagers to what’s next
Voyagers was a fan-favorite update that introduced player-built, fully crewed ships and a robust workshop. Breach builds on that foundation with scavenging loops and more ship part unlocks. Meanwhile, Hello Games’ next project, the open-world survival game Light No Fire, has been teased to leverage some of the ship-construction tech pioneered in No Man’s Sky—though it has no release date yet.
How to jump in
- Update your game on your platform of choice, then look for the Breach expedition in the in-game menu.
- Team up for expedition goals and salvage runs—co-op can speed up the grind for rare ship parts.
