What is the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error?

The Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky arises when attempting a multiplayer session with players on different platforms (or even the same platform) where game versions are not identical. For example, if one player has the latest update on Steam, while another on PS5 hasn't updated, the error will occur.

How to Resolve the Version Mismatch Error

The solution is to 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 rollout times vary across platforms. Even if you have the latest update available on your platform, a newer update may have recently been released that your platform hasn't yet received. In this situation, patiently await the update deployment to your platform, then retry the multiplayer session.
