The iPhone and iPad release covers content from more than 40 major updates, including the 2025 update Voyagers and the latest update COSMOS.

Hello Games set October 28, 2026 as the release date for the iPhone and iPad version of No Man's Sky. The port covers all of the more than 40 major updates, including Voyagers and the latest update COSMOS, rather than shipping as a reduced edition.
Studio founder Sean Murray said the trigger was an internal technical question raised right after the Mac version: whether the game could also run on iPhone. Multiplayer and planetary settlements will not be supported at launch, matching the Nintendo Switch version's launch state, with further support planned depending on player numbers and feedback.
