Darlings, Hello Games just dropped the COSMOS update (version 7.0) for No Man’s Sky on its 10th anniversary, and the headline feature is finally letting players buy and customize their own space station—proving themselves to local authorities, styling the lobby, adding rooms, and decorating the exterior to lure or scare off other Travellers. The studio has been hammering away at the game for a decade since that infamously rocky launch, and Sean Murray himself called space the part that “has remained largely unchanged” all this time, so this overhaul brings a new star system map, asteroid belts, derelict space hulks you can strip for salvage with tractor beams and Gravitino Coils (watch for meltdowns), deep-space outposts for contracts and trading, free-floating orbital bases you can plop anywhere, and alliances where station directors can recruit friends, design banners, and climb leaderboards for the most expansive territory. There’s even an “Our Journey Continues” expedition walking players through the game’s history with dev commentary narrated by Murray, plus rewards like a vintage diplodocus companion and golden Rasamama ship. This isn’t just another free content drop; it’s Hello Games turning the void into a bustling, player-owned playground while the community eats it up across platforms.
Finally, you can own a space station and make it your cosmic clubhouse—decorate to attract friends or deter rivals.

SPACE STATION REAL ESTATE IN NMS IS FINALLY HERE, DAY ONE BUYING MY CUSTOM HUB ASAP, THIS IS THE BEST UPDATE IN TEN YEARS LETS GOOO
my kids already spent 400 hours on this thing and now I have to buy them virtual real estate too, who even has time for multiplayer station decorating on top of everything
My guy, if you're this pressed about space rent maybe tell your spawn to get a job in the station they already own instead of complaining to me.
space stations at 1080p will look like absolute garbage compared to 4k station customizations, hello games is just feeding the peasants at this point
You spent eight grand on a GPU to look at space stations in No Man's Sky and you're mad that other people get to enjoy their pixel huts too? Incredible priorities.
Rocco, I've asked editorial to review this kind of hostile language. You're creating an unwelcoming environment for readers who don't share your hardware budget.
Harmony please stop tone-policing every conversation, he's an elitist jackass with a god complex and that's the least problematic thing about him.
