No Man’s Sky has consistently captivated its player base with expansive updates, each adding new dimensions to its already vast universe. The latest addition, the ‘Relics‘ update released on March 26, 2025, invites players to don the hat of an interstellar archaeologist, delving into the ancient histories buried beneath alien soils.
In this update, the thrill of discovery takes center stage as players can now excavate a diverse array of alien fossils. These aren’t just static collectibles; the game offers a vast variety of procedurally generated bones, allowing for the assembly of unique skeletons. Whether aiming for scientific accuracy or creative expression, players can showcase their reconstructed specimens in personalized museums within their bases. The rarity of these fossils varies, with the most uncommon finds holding significant value, adding an extra layer of excitement to each dig.
However, these ancient treasures aren’t without their guardians. The ‘Relics‘ update introduces formidable adversaries such as the Stone Ghosts, Stone Golems, and the colossal Titan Worms. These entities stand vigil over the most precious relics, ensuring that only the most daring explorers can claim them.
For those seeking specific fossils to complete their collections, a new specialist has taken residence in the Space Station. This expert is available for bartering, providing opportunities to acquire elusive bones and further enrich personal exhibits.
Complementing the major features, Hello Games has rolled out Patch 5.62 to enhance gameplay stability. This patch addresses issues such as the loss of hyperdrives during the Relics expedition and resolves interactions with Galactic Palaeology Society representatives at dig sites. Additionally, several crash fixes have been implemented to ensure a smoother experience.
The ‘Relics‘ update exemplifies Hello Games’ dedication to enriching the No Man’s Sky universe. By intertwining the excitement of exploration with the depth of archaeological discovery, this expansion offers both new and veteran players compelling reasons to embark on fresh adventures among the stars.
