No Man's Sky is a fantastic solo experience, but multiplayer significantly enhances the gameplay. If you're encountering the Version Mismatch error, here's the solution.
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) if game versions aren't identical. For example, a player on Steam with the latest update might encounter this error when trying to join a friend on PS5 who hasn't updated their game.
Resolving the Version Mismatch Error
The fix is straightforward: ensure all players are running the same, most recent version of No Man's Sky. Once everyone updates, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.
However, update rollouts can vary across platforms. A player might have the latest update available for their platform, yet still receive the Version Mismatch error if a newer update has just been released and hasn't yet reached their platform. In this scenario, patience is key; wait for the update to deploy, update the game, and then retry the multiplayer session.
