Hello Games has released the No Man's Sky Aquarius update, and it's perfect for you if you've been looking for a cozier and more relaxing way to spend your time exploring alien planets.
Aquarius follows recent No Man's Sky updates like Worlds Part I, which introduced a graphical and performance overhaul to the game, and Orbital, which allowed you to customize your starship and more.
This time around, though, Hello Games' ambitions are a little more small-scale, at least from a player perspective. The big new addition in Aquarius is the ability to fish; you can now grab your fishing rod and kick back, either alongside your buddies or solo, catching some weird space fish.
Fish you can catch in the Aquarius update range from "common minnow-like fish" through to "huge alien marine mammals", according to Hello Games, and there are plenty to find, so get out there and get fishin'.
To help you in your fishing endeavors, you'll have access to a deployable Exo-Skiff, which can float over water and hold its own cold storage inventory. It's ideal for keeping fish once you've caught them.
You'll also be able to build automated fish traps to help you catch fish while you're off doing other things. Once you've caught your fish - however you've done it - you can then use them in new cooking recipes and ingredient combinations.
Naturally, you'll also find a new page in the Wonders Catalogue, which lets you document all of the weird space fish you've caught and where you found them.
There's tons of other stuff to discover in the No Man's Sky Aquarius update besides fishing, too. You can read a full rundown of everything that's in the update right here on the game's official website.
No Man's Sky is available right now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and so is the Aquarius update. Stay tuned for more on this.
