If you thought No Man’s Sky already had an absurd number of planets, think again. Hello Games has just released its latest update, Worlds Part II, bumping the game up to version 5.5 and stuffing it with even more celestial real estate—trillions of new planets, to be precise. Yes, that’s trillions with a ‘T’. Good luck visiting them all.

A Universe That Keeps on Expanding

The update isn’t just about sheer numbers. Hello Games has been tinkering with the universe’s algorithm to make planets more diverse and visually stunning. Expect towering mountains, deep valleys, and vast plains untouched by any life form—until you, intrepid explorer set foot on them.

Not content with just land, the devs have also overhauled the game’s oceans. The newly enhanced deep-sea environments now feature eerie, shadowy ocean floors teeming with mysterious aquatic life. Just the thing for anyone who fancies a bit of underwater existential dread.

Purple Suns and Lonely Galaxies

If you’ve ever looked up at the stars in No Man’s Sky and thought, Needs more purple, then today is your lucky day. The update introduces purple-class solar systems, bringing with them countless new planets to discover.

For those who prefer a more solitary experience, the new Abandoned Mode strips the universe of all alien life. It’s just you, the stars, and the crushing weight of cosmic isolation. Enjoy.

Quality of Life and Fishbowl Fashion

On a more practical note, inventory management has been streamlined, allowing players to sort their gear with a single button press—because let’s face it, no one enjoys digital spring cleaning.

There’s also a new collection of fishtank-themed helmets, earned through fishing milestones. Yes, fishing. Space is vast and mysterious, but sometimes you just want to put a bowl on your head and call it fashion.

The Sean Murray Promise

According to Hello Games founder Sean Murray, No Man’s Sky is all about that thrill of adventure—landing on an unexplored planet, knowing you’re the first ever to set foot there. With Worlds Part II, the game now boasts more star systems than ever before, pushing the limits of its tech without messing with the core experience.

“If you’ve spent hours crafting the perfect base on your home planet, don’t worry—it’s safe,” Murray reassures players. “But now, there are entire galaxies out there with a level of variety no one has seen before.”

So, time to dust off your spaceship, because there’s a whole lot of universe out there waiting. Just don’t expect to see all of it in one lifetime.
