No Man's Sky is enhanced by multiplayer, but version mismatches can disrupt the fun. This guide explains how to resolve the "Version Mismatch" error.
Understanding the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error
The "Version Mismatch" error in No Man's Sky appears 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) isn't, this error will occur. This can also happen even if players are on the same platform.
Resolving the Version Mismatch Error
The solution is straightforward: ensure all players have the latest game update installed. Once everyone is on the same version, cross-platform multiplayer should work flawlessly.
However, update rollout times vary across platforms. A player might have the most recent update for their platform, yet still encounter the error if a newer, just-released update isn't yet available on their platform. In such cases, patience is key; wait for the update to deploy, update the game, and then retry the multiplayer session.
