What is the Version Mismatch Error in No Man's Sky?
The Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky occurs when attempting a multiplayer session with players on different platforms or with differing game versions. For example, if one player is on the latest Steam version and another is on an outdated PS5 version, this error will appear. The mismatch can even occur between players on the same platform if their game versions are not identical.
How to Fix the Version Mismatch Error
The solution is straightforward: ensure all players are running the same, most current version of No Man's Sky. Once everyone updates, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.
However, update rollout timing varies across platforms. Even with the latest update for your platform, a newly released update might not be immediately available. In such cases, a Version Mismatch error will occur until the update is deployed to your platform. Patience is key; wait for the update, reinstall, and then retry the multiplayer session.
