No Man’s Sky released a new experimental branch update on September 1, addressing several bugs players encountered with recent content. Hello Games periodically introduces these updates for players on Steam to enhance their gaming experience.
This update comes shortly after the introduction of the Voyagers update, which featured customizable Corvette-class starships. While providing exciting new gameplay elements, it also brought along some issues that the developers are working hard to fix.
Key changes from the September 1 experimental patch include:

- Players can now stack Corvette parts up to 50 and increase workshop cache capacity to 160.
- Various crash issues have been resolved.
Upcoming Changes for Future Releases
These improvements are expected to be integrated into the base game eventually, although the experimental branch remains exclusive to PC players on Steam for now. Players can test the new changes by accessing the game properties in their Steam library and opting into the experimental branch.
Hello Games has also advised players to backup their save files prior to testing.
Patch Notes Summary:
- Addressed issues with players clipping through walls of Corvettes.
- Fixed several visual and control issues in VR experiences.
- Improved the overall experience based on player feedback and extensive testing.
No Man’s Sky continues to thrive, with player engagement reaching all-time highs, following the launch of the Voyagers update, which attracted over 90,000 concurrent players, the highest since its 2016 launch.
