As promised, Hello Games has begun its weekly content updates to No Man’s Sky. All new content will be free for owners of the game, and will include new items and regular community events.

The first bit of seasonal content for No Man’s Sky will involve the characters of Specialist Polo and Priest Entity Nada, the two asking players to explore a space anomaly in the galaxy. Those who dig through the ground enough will find “strange objects,” which can be returned to the duo for their robotic companion to turn into “exclusive exotic collectables.” Initially offered items will include base building parts, decals, and emotes, and will eventually expand to more than 50 items.

The latest update brings No Man’s Sky to version 1.58, which comes with a long list of changes and fixes for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One space exploration game. A significant recent update last month fixed game saves. Check out the patch notes below:
