What Is the Version Mismatch Error in No Man’s Sky?
The Version Mismatch error in *No Man’s Sky* occurs when attempting to start a multiplayer session with friends on different platforms, and one or more players haven't updated their game. For example, if you’re on Steam with the latest update and your friend on PS5 hasn’t updated yet, you'll see this error. It can also happen within the same platform if updates are not synchronized.
How to Fix Version Mismatch
Resolving the Version Mismatch error is straightforward: ensure all players update their game to the most recent version available. Once everyone is on the same version, you should be able to start a cross-play multiplayer session without issues.
However, this might not always be immediate. New updates for *No Man’s Sky* can roll out at different times across platforms. If you're on the latest version for your platform but a newer update has just been released, you might still encounter the Version Mismatch error when playing with someone who has already updated. In such cases, the only solution is to wait for the update to become available on your platform, update your game, and then try again.
