The No Man’s Sky Beacon update lets you become an intergalactic mayor for multiple towns.
Available now, ‘Beacon’ is the next major No Man’s Sky update following ‘Relics‘ in March. Hello Games said that this update “completely revamps” settlements, bringing new management and town features along with sci-fi building. Studio Hello Games says you can build different buildings, including a fishing pond, a bar with jukebox, or mercantile shops to create custom starships. Hello Games says that each citizen has their own attributes and abilities. You can also have conversations with them. As town mayor, you will also be responsible for welcoming new residents and resolving conflicts. As mayor, you can hire squadrons to protect your town from roving pirates. It’s a major update to No Man’s Sky, and it’s the third one we’ve had in 2025. In March,
added paleontology. You can now unearth alien animals and make museums from what you discover. No Man’s Sky Beacon update is now available on the
and Relics platforms. Tomorrow, a Worlds Part 2 update will be available for Switch 1 owners.
