This follows the previous expedition, Omega, which offered afree-to-play expedition, along with the game itself being free to play for a limited time.
Rewards That Players Can Earn In Adrift
The expedition starts players off on the desolate planet of Lapezuk. Players will find that Lapezuk is infested with worms, giving a sense of danger to go along with the feeling of isolation. Players need to rely on themselves as they survive a set of repair, exploration, and combat challenges. There are manytypes of planets in No Man’s Sky, and visiting each of them will be key to gathering the resources players need to survive.
Completing the set of challenges will reward players with a variety of collectibles. Including the gnawing scuttler companion, a supply of starship stealth paint, a ghostly frigate, and the unique Iron Vulture starship. The stealth paint is a uniquecustomization option for spaceships, allowing a low-radar-signature look.
Players are able tostart an expeditionfrom the Expedition Terminus aboard the Space Anomaly. Players can also start an expedition from a fresh save, which may be later converted to a Normal Mode save after the expedition period is over. The Adrift expedition begins on May 29 and will run for around seven weeks. All rewards from the expedition may be redeemed across all save games, courtesy of the Space Anomaly’s Quicksilver Synthesis Companion. Fans should remember that this event is for a limited time, so they should explore this universe devoid of intelligent life with friends soon.

WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe. Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery. No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence. How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets. The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
