No Man's Sky Launches Relics Update, Adding Alien Fossil Excavation and Museum Creation

The free update introduces paleontology mechanics, a rarity system for fossils, new enemies, and a community expedition, enhancing the game's immersive universe.

The Relics update, now live for PC, consoles, and VR, allows players to excavate alien fossils and reassemble them for display in custom-built museums.
A new rarity system categorizes fossils, with the rarest finds guarded by dangerous creatures like Stone Ghosts, Stone Golems, and Titan Worms.
Players can barter for fossils through a newly introduced specialist trader at Space Stations, offering an alternative to excavation.
A community expedition challenges players to compete for rare fossils, fostering engagement with the update's paleontology mechanics.
Relics continues Hello Games' tradition of free updates, focusing on a creative and thematic addition to the expansive No Man's Sky universe.
