As a seasoned No Man’s Sky voyager with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest update, The Cursed Expedition 16, is a thrilling addition to our interstellar journey! With its chilling atmosphere and tweaked mechanics, it promises an experience like no other.


It’s unclear whether the team behind No Man’s Sky is done updating their game, but as of now, it’s frequently receiving fresh content. Today, they released Expedition 16, titled “The Cursed”. As its name implies, this is a spooky Halloween event, featuring a chilling ambiance and modified mechanics. You’ll need to use an ancient portal network instead of warping freely during this event.

New Way of Starting The Cursed Expedition 16 in NMS

In our conversations, we sometimes use “new” excessively. Yet, what we mean is that it’s a more recent addition, not something present since the start.

  1. Enter your main save and travel to Anomaly.
  2. Interact with Expedition Terminus.
  3. Prepare a loadout, which you want to use during the Expedition.
