What Causes the No Man's Sky Version Mismatch Error?
The Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky occurs when attempting a multiplayer session with a friend on a different platform (or even the same platform) where game versions are inconsistent. For example, if one player has the latest update on Steam, but their friend on PS5 hasn't updated, the error will appear.
How to Resolve the Version Mismatch Error
The solution is straightforward: ensure all players are running the same, most recent game version. Once everyone's game is updated, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.
However, update rollout timing varies across platforms. A new update might reach some platforms sooner than others. Even with the latest update for your platform, if a newer update has just been released, you'll encounter the Version Mismatch error when playing with someone who already has it. In this case, patiently wait for the update to deploy to your platform, update your game, and retry.
That's how to fix the Version Mismatch error in No Man's Sky. For more game tips and guides, check out The Escapist.
