No Man’s Sky Desolation Patch Notes: Update 2.61 Brings Several Bug Fixes

No Man’s Sky post-launch support continues, even four years after release. The massive Desolation Update was released a couple of days ago. It added tons of new content that made the game slightly more similar to Dead Space. Unfortunately, it also added tons of new bugs, which was inevitable with an update of this size.

Now, Hello Games are back with yet another update. This time it’s a small patch that is solely focused on bug fixes. The patch is now live for every platform and you should be able to download it now.

Complete patch notes of the update are mentioned below and on the official site. Feel free to report any other bug that you may encounter over here.
