Update 6.2, known as Remnant, adds a gravity-based module to your multi-tool and expands how you build and modify your Exocraft. You gain new ways to interact with the environment while upgrading vehicles for large-scale salvage work.
At the center of the update is the Gravitino Coil, a gravity gun attachment for your multi-tool. You can magnetize objects, lift heavy debris, and launch materials as projectiles. The tool functions as both a utility device and a combat option.
This system turns planetary surfaces into interactive spaces. You move industrial waste, reposition large objects, and clear zones more efficiently. Physics plays a larger role in how you approach encounters and environmental cleanup.
Remnant also introduces deeper salvage mechanics tied to a broader interstellar cleanup effort. You collect and process scrap, transport materials, and contribute to community-driven objectives. These systems connect exploration with structured resource management.
Your Colossus Exocraft receives major upgrades in this update. You install new modules, improve storage, and tailor the vehicle for off-road hauling.
Key additions include:
- Custom blueprints for Colossus modifications
- Enhanced hauling capacity for large debris loads
- New technologies that support salvage operations
- Expanded industrial scrapping systems
You can configure your vehicle to specialize in transport, durability, or utility support. These changes make the Colossus more than basic transportation; it becomes central to large-scale resource operations.
The update arrives as part of the game’s ongoing post-launch support, nearly a decade after release. It remains free for players across platforms, including Xbox and Game Pass.
Remnant also includes technical improvements and additional content beyond the gravity tool and vehicle systems. However, the gravity-based mechanics and expanded Exocraft customization define how you engage with planets, debris fields, and large-object interactions moving forward.
No Man's Sky Remnant Update Features
You gain deep control over the Colossus exocraft, turning it from a basic transport into a modular work vehicle. The update lets you swap cabins, adjust chassis components, change paint finishes, and select different wheel or tread configurations.
You can now outfit the Colossus for nearly any terrain. Options include:
- Tread systems for rough ground
- Superelastic tires for unstable surfaces
- Off-road kits for improved handling
- Front-mounted attachments
- Mechanical walker-style legs for extreme traversal
These upgrades allow you to drive across harsh planetary landscapes with more stability and flexibility than before.
A newly added flatbed module transforms your Colossus into a heavy hauler. You can load and transport large quantities of scrap and debris, though steep inclines and uneven cliffs increase the risk of tipping due to weight distribution. You must plan routes carefully when carrying bulk cargo.
You can also install a mobile furnace unit. This attachment lets you dispose of collected waste immediately instead of returning to a base, streamlining salvage operations during longer expeditions.
The update introduces the Gravitino Coil, a gravity-based multi-tool upgrade. You can use it to lift, move, and launch heavy objects, including industrial debris scattered across planets. It functions both as a utility device and as a ballistic tool, turning environmental objects into projectiles when necessary.
When you combine the Gravitino Coil with a customized Colossus, you effectively operate as a self-contained recovery crew. You can:
- Extract materials from wreckage
- Collect industrial waste
- Transport salvage to processing facilities
- Neutralize environmental hazards
New Waste Processing Plants now appear across planets. These facilities convert recovered scrap into usable resources and provide rewards for removing environmental threats. You actively reduce planetary contamination while generating valuable materials.
While exploring, you may encounter Volatile Waste. This unstable debris can carry toxic, radioactive, or explosive properties. You must handle it with caution and deliver it to specialized processing centers designed to neutralize hazardous materials. Mishandling these substances can create additional risks during transport.
A limited-time community expedition accompanies the update. You join other players in a coordinated convoy focused on reclaiming a debris-covered planet. Some participants haul wreckage across long distances, while others manage scrapyards and processing hubs. The event centers on cooperation and large-scale cleanup efforts using the new systems.
Participation in the expedition unlocks the Heirloom armor set. This cosmetic reward reflects your involvement in the recovery operation and expands your customization options.
The Remnant update continues to expand a game that first launched on August 9, 2016. It remains available across a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The title supports online multiplayer and co-op play, cross-platform functionality, and multiple VR headsets.
You can approach the update as a solo salvager or as part of a coordinated group effort. The added vehicle modules, gravity tools, processing systems, and event-driven objectives shift the gameplay loop toward recovery, transport, and environmental management while preserving exploration and survival elements.
