No Man’s Sky Update 3.05 October 26 Patch Notes:
Hello Games has finally released the official patch notes and it’s a big one! Head on for the Halloween update details straight from Hello Games!
Development Update
Update 3.05 is available on all platforms now. Alongside the new spooky content and derelict freighter rebalance, the update includes a number of fixes and improvements. Full patch notes are listed below.
This year has been so busy for No Man’s Sky, with the release of five major updates – including the massive Origins – so we hope this Halloween update comes as a nice surprise! We’re not quite done with this year yet, and should have a bit more news to announce very soon.
Our journey continues.
Thank you so much,
Sean

- Derelict freighters have been rebalanced for increased challenge.

Thanks to the No Man’s Sky community, here’s something that’s confirmed that got changed with today’s patch:
New update patched pugneum-nanite farming from NoMansSkyTheGame
Apparently, chlorine farming didn’t get nerfed (as well as ActIndium prices).
Once Hello Games releases the official notes, we’ll update the post accordingly.
You can check out more details regarding the Halloween update here.
Update: We’ve updated the post with the official patch notes!
These are changes to the steam client itself. They have nothing to do with No Man’s Sky.
Doh! correcting
Still have the wrong notes in the article. This will be confusing for readers who don’t fully understand what the notes say.
I got them changed again. Sorry about that, was expecting the PC Steam client stuff to be removed. Includes the notes from the blog
