Explore the no mans sky Endurance update (patch 3.94), featuring freighter base overhauls, organic frigates, freighter farms, and the Polestar Expedition.

The no mans sky Endurance update, patch 3.94, completely overhauls freighter bases and is available now. This update will be included when the game launches on Nintendo Switch in October. While existing freighter bases are preserved, the Endurance update introduces a vast array of new freighter parts and themed rooms, allowing for more distinctive creations in space. Your freighters will now feel more alive with crew members milling about, reducing the eerie emptiness of previous versions. You'll encounter approximately two NPCs to interact with. Additionally, freighters receive a significant visual upgrade to their exteriors, leading to a more varied appearance of capital ships throughout space. The Freighter section of the guide has been updated to reflect these changes.
