Start out stranded with strangers and work your way up
As it does,No Man’s Skyhas expanded its universe with a biggo new update. This time, it’s beefed up with a brand new game mode called Expeditions. A bit like a seasonal event, Expeditions give players a bunch of time-limited goals and set them off along the same path together. They seem like they’ll channel the energy of some massive community scavenger hunt, everyone knocking around close to one another as they zip from goal to goal, which actually sounds like good fun. The first Expedition has just kicked off and is set to run for two months.
You’ll need to start a new save file to take part, after which you can choose “Community Expedition” as your game type. Hello Games explain that each Expedition will drop players off all in the same point of the universe to start their journey.

To guide your progress through each Expedition, you’ve got a set of milestones to achieve. They seem to start out pretty basic, such as finding your ship and leaving the planet for the first time, and get more difficult in each phase.
There are also rendezvous points along the Expedition. “Reunite with other travellers on the same journey, group up with the community to build a settlement, or simply wave hello as you pass through,” Hello Games say. It feels like another chance to get that communal goals vibe out of the Expedition mode.
You can catch the rest of the udpates over onthe NMS site. There are new weekend event missions to take on along with upgrades to explorer class starships and sentinal combat, among other quality of life changes.
