No Man’s Sky’s next major free update is here

No Man’s Sky is the gift that keeps on giving. Just one month after its last major patch (the Fractal Update), Hello Games have simultaneously announced and released their next major update – Interceptor – bringing with it new planets; enemies; improvements and so much more all for the low price of ‘free’

As with pretty much every other No Man’s Sky update, patch 4.2 – the Interceptor Update – brings with it a whole host of improvements as well as a great deal of additional content, with the team saying:

“Explore corrupted planets, fight a legion of challenging new robotic guardians, hijack their technology, steal their ships, harvest their resources, destroy their freighters, and much, much more!” with just some of the more notable changes and additions including:

  • Corrupted Worlds
  • Evolving Story 
  • New Ship Class 
  • Sentinel Jetpack 
  • Abandoned Camps 
  • Robot Spiders 
  • Improved Combat 
  • Sentinel Weaponry 
  • Stealth Enemies 
  • Capital Ship Battles 
  • Custom Wonders 
  • VR Improvements
  • New Animations
  • Additional Character Customisation

With every No Man’s Sky update it feels as though Hello Games have overhauled the title – and patch 4.2 is no different. The No Man’s Sky Interceptor Update is available right now and the full patch notes can be found HERE.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
