Hello Games has updated No Man’s Sky again with another round of fixes following the release of Worlds Part II, which addresses more lingering bugs related to crashes, collision detection, water rendering, and more. In particular, one of the issues resolved is for the PS5 version of No Man’s Sky, which sees underwater bases appearing invisible at times. You can read the full list of details in the No Man’s Sky update 5.55 patch notes below.
No Man’s Sky: Worlds Part II was released last month and brings a wealth of new content to the space exploration title, including revamped lighting, new water effects, plus all-new biomes and terrain. Hello Games originally released No Man’s Sky in August 2016 for PS4 and PC, and despite a rocky start due to a perceived lack of content, has swelled in size thanks to the release of multiple post-launch updates, not to mention the fact the game is now available on PS5, PSVR 2, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
