No Man's Sky Cosmos rebuilds space exploration, bases and stations

What happened

Hello Games released Cosmos on PS5 on September 9.

The update connects new space locations, salvage tools, construction and social ownership systems.

The practical change: Scan the system map before choosing a salvage, outpost or building route, and verify the installed update before troubleshooting missing features.

What is confirmed

• System scans reveal space points of interest and mission routes.
• Space hulks can be stripped with the physics gravity gun and ship tractor beam.
• Players can build bases on some asteroids or as free-floating orbital structures.
• Players can buy and decorate a system space station and form alliances.

What this means for players

A system scan is now a practical first step before warping onward.

Salvage carries risk because over-stripping a hulk can trigger a meltdown.

What is still unconfirmed

The announcement does not publish complete economy values, platform-by-platform patch timing outside the stated PS5 release or one best alliance strategy.

What to do next

1. 01
   Confirm Cosmos appears on the title screen.
2. 02
   Use the new system map before committing fuel or cargo space.
3. 03
   Back up important progress before large base or station moves.
