Hello Games has released The Swarm, a free major update for No Man's Sky that introduces an entirely new adversary for the game's shared universe.
The headline addition is the Hive of Glass, described by the developer as a large‑scale antagonistic force. The Hive presents an escalated threat level, capable of targeting and destroying freighter fleets and posing a potential danger to larger structures such as space stations.
The update is available now, and is being distributed free to all players. The arrival of The Swarm continues Hello Games' post‑launch strategy of expanding No Man's Sky with substantial, no‑cost content updates that reshape the game's sandbox and communal encounters.
Further details and full coverage of the update's features are available in the original report on Push Square.
