How to Fix No Man’s Sky “Version Mismatch” Error
No Man's Sky is fantastic for solo play, but the multiplayer experience truly shines. If you're encountering the Version Mismatch error, here's how to resolve it.
Understanding the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error
The Version Mismatch error appears when attempting a multiplayer session with a friend on a different platform (or even the same platform) where game versions are not identical. For example, if your Steam version is updated, but your friend's PS5 version is not, the error will occur.
Resolving the Version Mismatch Error
The solution is straightforward: ensure all players have the latest game update. Once everyone is running the same version, cross-platform multiplayer should work seamlessly.
However, update rollout times vary across platforms. Even with the latest update for your platform, a newly released update might not yet be available to you. In this scenario, patience is key. Wait for the update to deploy to your platform, update your game, and then retry the multiplayer session.
