No Man’s Sky’s Voyagers Update Adds Giant Custom Corvettes with Real Interiors — Live Now
No Man’s Sky’s latest update, Voyagers (6.0), is live and brings large, customizable Corvette-class ships with real interiors, new cosmetics, quality-of-life improvements, and more. The update is available today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Windows PC, and Xbox platforms, and some of the technology showcased in Voyagers will also appear in Hello Games’ next title, Light No Fire.
- New Corvette-class ships with buildable hulls, wings, engines and interior rooms
- Corvette expedition to help newer players unlock parts
- Patch 6.0: bug fixes, optimizations, Skyborn cosmetics and Twitch drops
- Some Voyagers tech is being reused for Hello Games’ Light No Fire
What the Voyagers update adds
The headline feature is the new Corvette-class starships. According to Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray, “We call them Corvettes, huge ships with hulls, wings, landing gear, cockpits, engine parts, thrusters and more — arranged to your own unique sci-fi design.”
Corvettes include *real interiors*, so players can take advantage of sleeping quarters, med bays and other customizable sections. Moreover, the update includes parts and systems that let teams build a ship’s exterior and interior to match a chosen style.
How you unlock a Corvette
Corvettes don’t appear immediately. The developers say the Corvette ships come “a little way into the game.”
For seasoned players this means the ships are accessible through normal progression. However, newer players can try a Corvette expedition that is “specifically designed to get you to the workshop as quickly as possible and to take you on a journey which unlocks some of the parts you’re going to need.”
Other changes in patch 6.0
Patch 6.0 also brings a slate of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements and optimizations. Additionally, the update adds the Skyborn Exosuit and Skyborn Jetpack cosmetics, plus a new Twitch drops campaign.

Shared technology and Light No Fire
Sean Murray also noted that a portion of the technology developed for Voyagers is being used in Hello Games’ upcoming project, Light No Fire. In the update trailer the studio shows early glimpses of that tech in action.
Light No Fire, revealed at The Game Awards 2023, is described as a fantasy title set on a singular shared, Earth-sized planet with “real oceans to traverse, needing large boats and crews.” Murray said, “We love that we get to share this technology with players early.”
Availability
Voyagers launched today across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Windows PC and Xbox platforms. Players can download the update through their platform’s usual channels and begin unlocking Corvette parts and other new features immediately.
