No Man's Sky The Swarm Update: Space War Is Here
No Man's Sky update 6.4 'The Swarm' is live now — a Death Star-like robo-eye is invading the galaxy and players must join one of three factions to stop it. Here's everything confirmed.
- No Man's Sky update 6.4 'The Swarm' launched May 27, 2026, and is free across all platforms.
- Players join one of three factions — the Royal, the Sage, or the Weaver — in an eight-week community war event against the Hive of Glass.
- The update brings hundred-ship space battles, a new Gravity Gun, and the Direwasp Disintegrator multi-tool as a faction reward.
The Swarm expedition runs for roughly eight weeks from May 27, 2026 — jump in now to secure your faction assignment and start earning Direwasp rewards before the event closes. All content is free with no purchase required across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
