No Man’s Sky has received a fresh stability-focused update as Patch 6.22 goes live on Steam, addressing a wide range of issues introduced with the recent Remnant expansion. Developer Hello Games moved quickly after player feedback highlighted bugs tied to new Exocraft features, the Gravitino Coil, and the time-limited Remnant expedition.
While Patch 6.22 does not add new gameplay systems, it delivers extensive fixes that improve moment-to-moment play. The update refines vehicle handling, corrects collision problems, and resolves visual glitches that affected exploration, combat, and expeditions across multiple platforms.
Gravitino Coil and Exocraft Fixes Take Priority
The Gravitino Coil, a gravity-based Multi-Tool attachment introduced in Remnant, now behaves more consistently. Patch 6.22 improves its damage and stun potential when launching objects and enhances its ability to magnetise armoured Sentinel drones. The update also corrects crosshair visuals and minor rendering issues, making combat and object manipulation feel more precise.
Exocraft improvements make up a large portion of the patch. Driving the Colossus now feels smoother thanks to better camera behaviour on slopes, improved collision detection, and refined visual effects. The mechanical legs earned during the Remnant expedition no longer snag as often on terrain, and wheels now register collisions correctly after save reloads.
Remnant Expedition Progression Gets Smoother
Players taking part in the Remnant expedition will notice clearer guidance and fewer progression blockers. Patch 6.22 improves waypoint tracking, fixes issues with Road Trip milestones, and updates the Industrial Cleanup mission with better icons and context-aware objectives. Waste Processing Plants now display clearer visuals, and missing collision around waste heaps has been fixed, reducing frustration during cleanup runs.
Several expedition-specific bugs also received attention, including rare cases where players could spawn incorrectly after autosaves or lose fuel at the end of the expedition.
Platform-Specific and Performance Improvements
Patch 6.22 includes targeted fixes across platforms. PC players benefit from improved UI textures at lower resolutions, while Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 receive fixes for rendering issues, field-of-view sliders, and lighting stability. PlayStation and Mac versions also gain corrections for flickering objects and torch rendering problems.
On the performance side, Hello Games continues to optimise rendering, lighting, and memory usage, building on the gains introduced with Remnant. These changes help maintain smoother exploration on large saves and busy planetary environments.
