Hello Games released No Man’s Sky update 7.06 on October 5, 2026, across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Mac. This stability-focused patch primarily resolves a ship duplication error involving the Radiant Pillar BC1 and addresses several platform-specific crashes affecting PC and PS5 users.
Radiant Pillar Ship Duplication Fix
The most significant change in update 7.06 is the automatic removal of broken copies of the Radiant Pillar ship. These duplicates were previously created due to errors during expedition transfers. This fix is retroactive, meaning the game will automatically identify and remove the redundant ship entries from affected save files without requiring player intervention.
Gameplay and Exploration Adjustments
Several refinements have been made to the exploration experience, particularly regarding movement and item collection:
- Space Walk Camera: A camera issue has been resolved where the player’s facing direction would unintentionally change when rolling during a space walk.
- Gravitino Coil: Fixed a bug that caused incorrect targeting for the Gravitino Coil when players attempted to collect objects from hulks.
Stability and Performance
Update 7.06 includes targeted fixes for critical crashes reported on specific hardware configurations:
- Nvidia GPUs: A specific crash occurring on PC systems equipped with certain Nvidia graphics cards has been addressed.
- PlayStation 5: Resolved a rare crash that could occur on the PS5 during loading screens.
While this update focuses on technical polish, it follows the foundation set by previous major overhauls. While some players associate inventory overhauls and “Relaxed Mode” with more recent iterations, those features were originally introduced in the Waypoint Update (4.0). Update 7.06 continues this trajectory of refinement, ensuring that newer features such as space walking remain stable across all platforms.
