How to Fix No Man’s Sky “Version Mismatch” Error

No Man's Sky is fantastic for solo play, but the multiplayer experience truly shines. If you're encountering the Version Mismatch error, here's the solution.

Understanding the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error

The Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky occurs when attempting a multiplayer session with a friend on a different platform (or even the same platform) and one or both games aren't updated to the same version. For example, a player on Steam with the latest update might encounter this error when trying to join a friend on PS5 who hasn't updated their game.

Resolving the Version Mismatch Error

The fix is straightforward: ensure all players have the latest game version installed. Once everyone is updated, cross-platform multiplayer should work seamlessly.

However, updates roll out to different platforms at varying speeds. You might have the most recent update for your platform, but if a newer update has just been released, you'll still receive the Version Mismatch error when trying to play with someone who already has it. In this situation, patience is key. Wait for the update to reach your platform, update your game, and then try again.

That's how to resolve the Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky. For more game tips and information, check out The Escapist.
