No Man's Sky "Version Mismatch" Fix Released

No Man's Sky is a fantastic solo experience, but multiplayer significantly enhances the gameplay. This guide addresses the common "Version Mismatch" error.

Understanding the "Version Mismatch" Error in No Man's Sky

The "Version Mismatch" error arises when attempting a multiplayer session with players on different platforms (or even the same platform) with mismatched game versions. For example, if you're on the latest Steam version and a friend on PS5 hasn't updated, this error will occur.

Resolving the Version Mismatch Error

The solution is straightforward: ensure all players are running the same, most recent game version. Once everyone updates, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.

However, updates sometimes roll out unevenly across platforms. Even if your platform shows the latest update, a newer update might exist that hasn't yet reached you. In such cases, patiently await the update deployment, update your game, and retry the multiplayer session.
