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

The Version Mismatch error appears when attempting a multiplayer session with players on different platforms or with differing game versions. For example, if one player is on the latest Steam update and another is on an older PS5 version, the error will occur. This can happen even when playing on the same platform if versions are inconsistent.

How to Fix the Version Mismatch Error

The solution is straightforward: ensure all players are running the same, most recent game version. Once everyone is updated, cross-platform multiplayer should function correctly.

However, update rollout times vary across platforms. A newly released update might reach some platforms before others. Even if your game is the latest version for your platform, you may still encounter the error if others have a newer version. In this case, patiently await the update's release on your platform, update your game, and retry the multiplayer session.
