No Man's Sky announces its FORSAKEN expansion for 2026, the fifth major update of the game's 10th year, and also launches a new iOS version that includes more than 40 prior updates. FORSAKEN sends players to eerie locations — drifting megaships, infected outposts, and planetary dig sites — to hunt cursed rare technology and monstrous lifeforms while collecting strange, cursed keepsakes called Mementos.
Mementos can be traded with mysterious collectors across the galaxy in exchange for biomechanical corvette modules that let you build corvettes with organic, unsettling looks. The update also adds new cockpits, interior sets, weapon and spacesuit styles, plus specific grotesque gear such as a larval-tank style helmet and a multitool that resembles writhing larvae. Gameplay and QoL additions listed include mail-delivery missions that turn players into interstellar couriers, a radial menu for weapon selection, a minimal HUD mode, and seamless warp to nearby star systems.
The iOS release packs the game's history onto mobile: more than 40 updates are included and FORSAKEN is available on day one. Supported devices can try the opening section of the game for free, and Hello Games says the iOS build uses touch-specific controls with optimizations for battery life and heat management. The desktop/console lineage and copyright details remain: No Man's Sky is developed by Hello Games Ltd; original copyright dates handled in Hello Games material include 2013, 2016, and 2022, and the title has been published in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc; Hello Games Ltd provides a Privacy Policy and an EULA.
Why it matters
Takeaway: if you like your space travel with a side of uncanny biomechanics, FORSAKEN adds cursed loot, corvette customization, and touch-ported access on iOS from day one — plus the usual quality-of-life tools that make long jumps and inventory juggling less tedious.
