What happens when No Man's Sky goes down
No Man's Sky is a space exploration and survival game from Hello Games, and this page shows whether user problem reports for it are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. If you play solo or with friends, an outage interrupts discovery uploads and multiplayer sessions.
When online services fail, the first sign is usually a failed connection to online discovery services, so planet and creature names stop uploading and other players' discoveries may not appear. Multiplayer comes next: you can't join friends, and cross-platform sessions fail. Base visits can disappear from the teleporter list, while solo play may still load without online features. Problems can be partial or regional; one platform or region may report failures while another works.

How we track No Man's Sky
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for No Man's Sky, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for No Man's Sky, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. No Man's Sky doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
