As you can see, the list of changes is quite extensive and diverse, another sign that No Man's Sky continues to grow into the ever-evolving product most gamers assumed wasn't possible. It's especially nice to see the Exocraft options get some love, too, considering it's been well over a year since those systems were last tweaked. With the new changes, players will be able to upgrade abilities and customize vehicle designs in ways that previously didn't exist. Summoning capability also removes the prevailing frustration of losing your ride on your home planet. Overall, most of update 1.63 places fun traversal and individual expression at the forefront.
Unfortunately, those looking for a new Community Research mission will be disappointed. Polo has decided to take this week off to analyze the existing data. With any luck, that means we'll have twice as many neat cosmetics in the next patch.
No Man's Sky is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Update 1.63 is live now on all platforms.
