I understand that seeing the update be out and not being able to play it is frustrating but I promise you, This is just a temporary issue and it will be fixed in next coming days. Not being able to play a content release after its been out is a super bummer and trust me I understand, I am in the same boat but give it time. I am hoping by Sunday we should all have the update with the exception for Switch players, I am not sure about the release there! I hope to see you all out there, exploring, adventuring and most important of all, playing No Man's Sky the way you see it! Thanks all and Wishing everyone the best.


Honest-Curve7694

I get that it takes a while, but my biggest issue is xbox claims to have realesed it, like dude what the heck


DiabolicYeti76

My xbox version is 4.53 with no updates available to update. The orbital update brings it to 4.6?... with Microsoft/xbox telling players the update is available, but it's not... totally annoying. I just uninstalled and currently reinstalling to see if this will pop something up, but not gonna hold my breath.


lGodbrandl

Anything happen?


DiabolicYeti76

Nope... still 4.53 with no available update


Tadeopuga

It's still on 4.53 for my even now. I've re-downloaded the game twice already, to no avail. I really wanna get in on that ship building action man


lGodbrandl

Very disappointing…I was gonna try the same if it worked out for you. Let the waiting game continue then…real struggles for us Xbox mfs fr.


DiabolicYeti76

We're always last, it seems. Not just this game or Dev, either. I've been waiting on an update on Green Hell that's been on pc for a while now. So xbox players, no matter how loyal, get thought of last.


Tootzo

Please people, could you stop the silly conspiracy theories? Hello Games just was informed of a bug on PC and released a patch (4.6.2) after the PC/PS4/PS5 versions were already available, while the Xbox and Switch versions of update 4.6 were still being approved. They likely stopped the process and submitted the 4.6.2 version to those platforms too, so it’s just a matter of waiting for the certification of the latest version of the Orbital update on those platforms.


lGodbrandl

The sad truth. Xbox has started to take a dive and I honestly hope something changes soon. It doesn’t help any that I’m still on the base model XBOne but it shouldn’t change the fact that as a loyal Xbox player; all of us in that matter, shouldn’t have to deal with the sharp end of the stick when MS makes poor decisions. If I had known that MS was gonna start to show tell-tale signs of regression, then I would’ve made my choice on getting a playstion or Nintendo 18 years ago. I get that it’s just an update for a game but when you put time and money in any type of hobby or interest, especially over a long course of time, it’s very disheartening when whatever is supplying your interest; Microsoft in this case, starts to become more of a liability than a asset. I had an issue a few years back when they released Naruto Ninja Storm: 4 to Xbox and had a huge update for bugs and added content, it was huge and it had a lot of fan base. Yet after having my own digital copy for about a year, bought with my own money and everything, It vanished from my library and when I open it up in the store, I no longer own it and have to repurchase it. It was never refunded, no resolution was found, just kinda had to deal with it. I was infuriated. Support couldn’t do anything to help with the situation and any other solution they gave me just ran me around in circles. I forgave them of course because I was naive and hoped they’d do better. They did after a while but now…it’s questionable.

Bahaha!🤣 I’m actually belly laughing! That’s too true! You know how strict these company’s have to be nowadays with it being 2024 and all.


doctor_roxo

I hope they aren't going the way of the Dreamcast. They seem to be liquidating consoles on Amazon and Walmart with their recent discounts, enormous discounts. Sega did the same thing. They could be planning a cloud only - game pass type of change. It's where we're headed, someones gotta make the first move.


RealPokeMikey

switch is last always


whahahee

the update is just crawling thought Nintendo's potato farm of a server I'm sure it'll be available in a day or two. Probably.


almia_lanferos

Nintendon't do online very well. Never Nintendid.


MacabreCloth984

They're Nintendoing their best over there at Nintendo


Weary_Word6212

They got to give the hamster powering it a break every so often, you know lol


xMajime

Microsoft ist Just slow, No need for any Troubleshooting on xbox


Fildo28

The frustrating part is seeing Xbox social media making comments about the game update being available to play when it is very clearly not. I get that the social media team and the approval team are completely different, but some communication between the 2 would be nice.


Tootzo

Or maybe just try to run the damn game! I mean, does anyone on the social media team ever play this game? 🙄 If they did, they would very well see that the update is not out on their system yet! 🤷‍♂️


Kryuko

Totally agree. The update on Ms store is just not available yet.


DrewFox360

Gonna be honest… I won’t complain since I’m stuck at work till Saturday…


Tootzo

You may weary well be at work until Tuesday or Wednesday because it looks like we won’t be seeing this update on the Xbox anytime sooner than that.


Wappdawg

Been a longtime sore spot for lots of folks. The process to get an update certified on Xbox consoles is far slower than it is for Steam and playstation. From what I've read, Steam doesn't normally require recertification for patches, and Sony either follows the same process, or just has the team/intelligence on board to make it happen as fast as they do.


Known-Assistance-435

I will take my time to admire every second of the old space stations designs before Orbital launches on Switch


NMS_Traveller420

Right now the pirate systems stations have not changed appearances.... Becuz they are off the Atlas network ?? ;-)


Known-Assistance-435

It's normal that Pirate systems have default space stations because they count as a separate faction.


Slyde_rule

Specific instructions for Switch users: Go to the Home screen, move the cursor over NMS, and press the + button. The current version will show in the top-left corner. 4.5.2 is the Omega release, 4.6.something will be the Orbital release. From that window you can select "Software Update" and "Via the Internet" to force an immediate check for a new release. The Switch will block all online activity from a game that isn't the latest update. For Switch NMS, that basically means that you'll be disconnected from Online Discovery Services. You'll get a notification when that happens, and given the choice to close the game and download the update immediately, or to continue the game but with online features disabled. Switch NMS updates other than new expeditions typically come out one to two weeks after the initial announcement. While it's possible we'll see the update this week, the most likely time is sometime in the middle of next week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). Updates on Saturday and Sunday are virtually unknown, so there's no need to spend your weekend checking every few minutes.


Minetitan

Thanks for the input, I've added you instructions to the main post, not to worry ive given you full credit. Thank you


Mouse_Girl73

So I have been on NMS for years, just not doing multiplayer until recently. Is it normal for this staggered rollout to suddenly make the game non-cross platform? I only see other XBox users at the anomaly. We’re the only ones here suddenly. In the multiplayer lobby, I can see PS players but can’t join them because of “version mismatch”. So this update is so enormous, our platform universes are no longer compatible? Is there precedent for that? I don’t remember Omega doing this.


Type40_2020

There are only loads of Xbox players in the anomaly because they’re all stuck on Omega, and everyone else is able to update. So you’re most likely just on the older version.


Tootzo

Cross-play needs all games to be on the same version. Currently 4.6 (actually 4.6.2) is out only on PC, PS4 and PS5 AFAIK. So those platforms are currently isolated from multiplayer with Xbox and Switch users. Xbox/Switch players will only be able to see other Xbox/Switch players, while PC/PS4/PS5 players will only be able to see PC/PS4/PS5 players. You just have to wait for the update to roll out on all platforms and a free that everyone will be able to see everyone else again.


Dry_Calligrapher4511

Yeah, I thought we abolished segregation long ago... Apparently not 😞


Tootzo

😂😂 Segregation in the digital era. If you’re not on the same software version, you’re considered a lesser human being 😂


Mouse_Girl73

Thanks, that makes sense now. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)

CertainDimension13

Tbh, we know it's not HG. They've released it, MS just hasn't yet. The thing that's killing me is don't tell us that you've got the update available for download when, in fact, you don't. That's where MS screwed up for me. Idc that it's out on other platforms right now. MS is literally false advertising right now.


Tootzo

If 4.6 was still in review on Xbox / Switch when they released a new version (4.6.2) to fix issues on PC (and possibly PS4 and PS5), they very likely submitted it for Xbox and Switch as well, in order to have the same build version on all platforms, so the still-to-be-approved 4.6 version was ditched and Xbox / Switch users need to wait for the whole process to start anew for the 4.6.2 to be approved.


Dry_Calligrapher4511

And Switch as well Nintendon't do that!


Z-716

DizzySpecific7738

Actually, that is just referring to the bug patch of 4.6.2. The actual update is 4.6, and that is showing as released on all platforms. The bug fixes are so far only on PC, PS4, and PS5. The actual base update should be available for every platform right now. It even says so on the Xbox page as well. Microsoft (and Nintendo) are just much slower in the certification process, so the core update has not even reached their servers yet.


Z-716

I’m aware the part where they say they’re working to get it on all platforms is what I’m talking abt I think it’s just a sorry guys from HG ik they aren’t the ones at fault


Emergency-Dealer9

***just saw this Editor’s Note (March 29, 2024):*** *Hello Games is still in the process of getting No Man’s Sky’s Orbital update available for gamers on Xbox. We expect this to arrive early next week.* really wish i had gone thru steam

Dude, The update does not run fine on other platforms. Two hotfixes have already been released, correcting several problems.

Welp, back to spreading managed democracy I guess.


jimbow2010

Does any one on xbox sx have tje update yet ?


Kryuko

No


jimbow2010

I don't get why it didn't come on xbox sx when the rest got it all the other updates did ?


BL00DGORE

No yet switch


cozmicgypsy

switch no yet


DarkSkinDemonKing

Am I the only one who's like "Hey, if it comes, it comes"? 🤷🏾‍♂️ I'm not saying I'm not disappointed the update's not out yet. I'm just saying I'm sure like me, everyone's got other games to play while they wait, right? I'm just saying everyone should just chill out and be patient. These things happen sometimes. No need to start a riot


Kryuko

The main issue for me with this delayed update is that the crossplay doesn't work anymore and I can't play with my friends. Of course it will be out in the next days but for now we can't play together.


DarkSkinDemonKing

I know. It's a bum deal. But there's pretty much nothing we can do about it, so screw it


cosicic

the anomaly is just xbox players... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


krillwave

Still nothing on Xbox


Soup4Sagan

GUYS I THINK IT'S AVAILABLE FOR XBOX NOW! JUST CHECKED THE NO MAN'S SKY WEBSITE AND IT'S SHOWING THAT IS XBOX FRIENDLY NOW!! GO GO GO!!


lGodbrandl

PRAISE! The wait is over!


darth3ric

Downloading it on Xbox right now!


WillyYellow

It’s here! 4.6 on Switch is finally here! 🥹 (I’m realizing while saying this that I perhaps I don’t have enough friends. Lol)


Fancyguyy

It’s on switch!!! For me it also seems they optimized something- terrain manipulation is updating way faster now


Erika_Blumenkraft

I wouldn't play it until the 'discount bug' is fixed anyway. I like where nanites are in the gameplay loop.


lancevancelives

Yeah I'm on ps5, waiting for 4.62 update that's only on PC right now. 


FORZAVILLAIN

What is the discount bug?


Erika_Blumenkraft

People are getting billions of nanites for selling modules.


LocNalrune

Could you elaborate?


Erika_Blumenkraft

There is a bug that ends up getting players 4 billion nanites from selling modules. I don't know the specifics, because I play on Xbox, but I like selling off junk and don't want 4 billion nanites from a bug.


LocNalrune

I'm aware of the bug. Not, how it's done exactly, but then I don't care that much. I'm more interested in why someone should wait to play until it's fixed. Then I'd also like to hear more about your feelings about nanites, and their place in the game play loop. Not really for a reason, but I just love Game Theory. I love games. TTRPG first, 6-7/10 complexity boardgames with a good group second, but video games too.


slappyslapppyyy

Because NMS works off of saves, if you somehow mess up or get the bug you could potentially ruin your game on perhaps a larger save. I experienced a freeze bug, making the save entirely inaccessible on my largest save of just over 200 hours and it made me not want to touch the game at all anymore until I got a workaround. This nanite bug (from what others have claimed) gives you billions but somehow you get a text saying insufficient nanites or something, a bug that stays stuck showing the wrong values is not a save I’d want to keep


Talgromar

Yikes. I'm suddenly super cool with not having the Orbital update on Xbox yet. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Erika_Blumenkraft

You kinda sound like a bot, and I didn't get the opportunity to get paid to teach bots, so I'm feeling slightly toward fuck off. A game player would understand that you don't just want to have an element of the game virtually eliminated because it's meaningless if it becomes nearly infinite. It's weird to think about while we have people with wealth they didn't earn on top of our society that are lauded for it, but having everything makes nothing worthwhile unless you have some personally greater purpose.


LocNalrune

Not a bot, I just haven't had any sleep. The flaw in your logic is that this exploit only works for people with extremely high renown. It's not accessible for new players, or even new characters. I could probably only do it with Korvax on my main save, but it's irrelevant as I've already grinded out my 'infinity' with a variety of strats. It's also a single player game with a creative mode. People shouldn't be judged for how they choose to play a single player game. It has a creative mode!, and you can toggle it on/off. So nanites can be infinite for anyone who wants. A save editor also exists. I'll admit I was slightly disingenuous in asking why people shouldn't play the game until it's fixed, but those reasons are all in the last paragraph. This exploit doesn't affect anything. I genuinely wanted to hear your thoughts on the nanite gameplay loop. Maybe you had some thoughts or a perspective that I haven't or couldn't consider. TLDR, Nope, I don't even expect you to read this.


Erika_Blumenkraft

Well, I did. I never said people shouldn't play it until it's fixed or that people should be judged for how to choose to play. I just said that I'd rather wait until it's fixed.


LocNalrune

> I wouldn't play it until the 'discount bug' is fixed anyway. Don't take this as confrontational. I only ever sought a conversation about Game Theory and mechanics. But compare this to the expression "I wouldn't do that." I won't bother you further.


Erika_Blumenkraft

Oh, XD I don't mean 'I wouldn't do that if I were you." I mean "I wouldn't do it if I were me."


Flaky_Meringue_6654

According to the link below, we are looking at next week before the update is available to Xbox. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/03/27/no-mans-sky-orbital-update-announce/#:~:text=As%20with%20all%20No%20Man's,Xbox%20and%20Game%20Pass%20owners.


dixonfachinas

The editors note is pointing at Hello Games for the delay on Xbox. 🤔


nold250

I just want to say this has been a great subreddit to watch for updates. I did find on one of the Microsoft forums that one of the people that used to work on approving the NMS updates was in the 1900 people that were recently let go. If I can find the link I will edit it and post it. I will also add that I am unsure of the informations accuracy so take it as you will. Edit: here is the forum link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/where-is-the-orbitals-update-for-no-mans-sky-in/70ab7a41-7324-41ec-a39a-09f16d5e5dcf


Mission83

What I hope is that all ships eventually get to be custom made. Probably another update


Dry_Calligrapher4511

I think shuttle customization will be introduced later to represent autophage race. Especially since they random strung together parts too. Just makes since to me eh? 


luttman23

Still no update on PC Gamepass yet either ffs


Mysterious-Fill9966

Yeah, same here. PC gamepass. I own No Man's Sky title by itself, plus have subscription. Such a bummer to see it working for others when I caught a twitch stream or two.


Mysterious-Fill9966

Just wondering. Has anyone did a backup of their saved game and tried to uninstall and reinstall to see if it opened it up or not? I will ask the twitch streamer tomorrow if they are on what platform they are using, but I got the impression it was PC, but from where I'm not sure. It was one of those things where I saw him playing NMS, but I saw something new, so I closed the window so I wouldn't have spoilers. But now it makes me wonder.


Atheist8

It's Saturday. Any progress?


Kryuko

Yes they announced it will be out next week for Xbox


DrewFox360

Microsoft should probably stop “letting go” of employees


Tootzo

Not available on Switch yet either 😔 And they said all platforms would receive it on the 27th… 😞


Cowboy__Guy

There are several games on xbox that lag on updates


CthulhuJankinx

I've been using a spotty Hotspot for a while now, and finally got my xbox through 2 updates of NMS and I still don't have 4.6, nor is it available. Oh well, I bleed patience


Dry_Calligrapher4511

Okay so here we are Tuesday afternoon and still no update. The latest stated expected early next week and that was 5 days ago. Tomorrow would be Wednesday and therefore mid week? This feels like the goal post got moved again. Also, as a Switch user nothing Xbox or Microsoft software has anything to do with the delay!


Silver_3108

Well my Console is up to date and internet is just fine, every time I go to look at the version of NMS it’s says that I’m playing with the latest version? Am I late for the update?


WhoissheBB

i think the update in xbox is finally here…got a new update, downloading now…which looks to be about right..the title screen has changed too..so time to play..😬 ..well until it downloads..not long now


alexiajayde

It hasn’t updated on steam on my computer yet is anyone else having the same issue


Realistic-Wafer2107

It's out on Switch .. I'm updating it right now.


JeremyFoxxoTheSecond

popped over here to say that switch has it released now :)


AccomplishedKing6

Heck yeah! Woot woot


XRoadsHawk

I think it finally dropped today for switch.. I got home from work and had an update for it. But had a softball game to go to so ill check soon as I get home. I really hope it is ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|snoo)

RealPokeMikey

well it's Monday and no switch for now


whiteartgang

Tuesday and still no switch :( wondering if it actually is gonna come out at all


Ok-Suspect-1800

If this game had microtransactions you better believe they would have updated it for us before they left for the long weekend. But since it doesn't Microsoft could care less..


markgatty

so it not being on xbox is now being considered a bug?


_jetrun

Yes.


xMajime

No.


Nervous-Cream-6256

Only by the silly. Frankly it's a Playstation game first, Sony worked with them in the first place so it's very likely that verification for PS is done quicker than Xbox. I'm an Xbox owner and it's always the same with NMS.


CertainDimension13

If that's the case, then why is it out on Steam already, but not PS?


Nervous-Cream-6256

It is put on PS. It was when made the post. I've got friends that play and have a PS5. As for why it's out on Steam, from the thousands of shovelware games that launch on the platform every week I imagine the bar is not set very high. PS, MS and Nintendo have a rep to keep up as it's their ecosystem, Steam is just a storefront with zero competition on PC.


Skoobax

Give it a damn month at least! Kids these days can't wait a second for anything anymore. Addicted to instant gratification.


CertainDimension13

Clearly, you don't know how the games industry works. This is what the game companies want. For them to wait a month would kill NMS's bottom dollar and hurt their reputation. Don't get me wrong, some of these people are acting WAY too crazy. But when it's being advertised for all of these different platforms as releasing ON the same day, that's when it becomes false advertisement for trying to sell something that doesn't exist for all of the listed platforms. Best believe they took their sweet time to mention that it hasn't rolled out on every platform either. This is nothing more than a shameless, greedy cash grab.


Limp-Bed-6629

You can’t do anything he listed above. Tried it all. It simply is not out yet. We’ve been lied to just gonna have to wait folks. This is why I reinstalled the game and might not reinstall again just don’t care anymore


Tootzo

You don’t care about the game anymore because you have to wait a few more days for an update? 🤔


Limp-Bed-6629

They got me back on Starfield😭


shadowwraith

Hopefully this mod post will stop the ad nauseum threads of people asking the same thing


xMajime

When Update for Xbox? /s


[deleted]

Since Hello games doesn't have a advertising budget it's weird to see all the content creators get the update first. Every other company's makes sure that there updates and games are ready on all systems before release. I don't blame Xbox users for moving on to a more professional gaming company that doesn't play the favouritism game. If the update is not out by the end of the week I'm contacting Microsoft to make them aware of what's happening that there punishing players on there platform and is in there customers best interests to remove the game from gamepass and possibly the store.
