No Man's Sky gets new Expedition, ship, and VR overhaul in today's Prism update

To mark the launch of PSVR 2, Hello Games' exploratory space sim No Man's Sky is, as previously promised, getting a wealth of VR improvements — but that's not all! PSVR 2 support arrives alongside a selection of new additions for all platforms in today's Fractal update.

Once the update is installed, No Man's Sky players can acquire a new starship Hello Games is calling the Utopia Speeder, capable of skimming across planet surfaces at high velocity. This is accompanied by a new limited-time Expedition, titled Utopia, which challenges Travellers to team up and rebuild an abandoned solar system for the mysterious Utopia Foundation.

By completing the Expedition's various milestones, players can unlock the Fearsome Visor helmet, a new robotic drone companion, and more.

Fractal also bring a number of quality of life improvements, including gyroscopic controller support on Switch, Playstation, and Steam Deck. There's also a new Wonders Catalogue where players' most impressive discoveries are recorded, plus new accessibility features and new options intended to give Travellers more control over the way they experience the game.

For Switch players specifically, today's Fractal update unlocks access to all Nexus and Quicksilver missions, alongside the Trace of Metal story — which includes a drone companion and Minotaur Exomech upgrades as rewards.
