Hello Games' 10 August anniversary update confirms that No Man's Sky has received 40 major updates, all free, across its first decade. The current game now spans base-building, settlements, expeditions, custom ships, PlayStation VR support and much more than the 2016 launch version.
For Malaysian newcomers, the official PlayStation Store lists the combined PS4 and PS5 digital product at RM253.70. Existing owners should check their entitlement first: many do not need to buy the game again.
What 40 free No Man's Sky updates now include
Hello Games names base-building, exocraft, settlements, mechs, pets, living ships and expeditions among the systems added since launch. On PlayStation, support expanded from the original PS4 release to PS VR, PS5 and optional PS VR2 play.
The anniversary is not a paid expansion announcement. It is a milestone for a decade of free major updates, so current owners can keep their existing copy updated rather than purchasing a separate anniversary edition.
Is the anniversary a good time to return?
The strongest reason to return is the accumulated scope, not a limited anniversary reward. Hello Games says last year's Voyagers update brought the game's highest player count since launch, while players have still explored less than 1% of its planets.
That makes the update most relevant to lapsed owners who have not seen recent systems. New players should read the anniversary as evidence of long-term support, not as a promise of a particular future feature. Hello Games says more is planned, but the post gives no date, name or content list for the next update.
What the Malaysia PS4 and PS5 listing includes
The official Malaysia Store listing bundles the digital PS4 and PS5 versions for RM253.70 and marks the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced. It also lists optional PS VR2 support and says the product includes all major updates through The Swarm.
| Your situation | Best next step | Extra purchase? |
|---|---|---|
| Own the PS5 digital version | Install the latest update | No anniversary purchase |
| Own the PS4 digital version | Claim the PS5 digital version at no extra cost | No, according to the Store listing |
| Own the PS4 disc | Keep the disc inserted when downloading or playing the PS5 version | No, with a compatible disc-drive PS5 |
| New player | Buy the PS4 and PS5 digital product | RM253.70 at check time |
A PS4 disc owner using a disc-free PS5 cannot use the free disc-based upgrade route. Online play is optional, but the Store says PlayStation Plus is required when playing online.
Malaysia buying and wallet checklist
- Check whether the account already owns a PS4 or PS5 entitlement.
- If using a PS4 disc, confirm the PS5 has a compatible disc drive.
- For a new digital purchase, verify the Malaysia Store price and the account's MYR wallet balance.
- Fund only the shortfall on the same-region account.
If a new purchase is still needed, you can add only the MYR PlayStation wallet shortfall for the RM253.70 Malaysia Store listing.
Before redeeming a code, use PlayStation's Malaysia voucher redemption guidance to confirm account-region compatibility. The wallet card funds a compatible Malaysia account; it does not replace the free update entitlement that existing owners already have.
