What is the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error?

The Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky arises when attempting a multiplayer session with players on different platforms or with differing game versions. For example, if one player's game (e.g., on Steam) is updated, while another player's (e.g., on PS5) is not, this error will occur. This applies even if players are on the same platform but have different versions.

How to Resolve the Version Mismatch Error

The solution is straightforward: ensure all players are running the latest available game version. Once all players have updated, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.

However, update rollout timing varies across platforms. A newly released update might reach some platforms before others. Even with the latest update for your platform, you may encounter the Version Mismatch error if attempting to play with someone who has a more recently released update. In such cases, patience is key; wait for the update to deploy to your platform, then retry.
