Summary
Fans ofNo Man’s Skycan now redeem a brand new custom starship released in commemoration of The Game Awards 2024, though not for very long, as the downloadable content will only remain freely available until December 19. Though longtime fans ofNo Man’s Skyhave likely become acquainted with a few unique starships by this point, the new Starborn Phoenix may look familiar, with it being a golden recolor of the Starborn Runner starship that was released at the start of the year.
Though this is the first time in-game content such as this has been made available to download as separate DLC forNo Man’s Sky, there have been plenty of similar events in the past. Whilemost starships inNo Man’s Skyare procedurally generated just like the rest of the game’s rich universe, there have been plenty of one-of-a-kind starships designed by the team at Hello Games, most of which have been distributed via limited-time expedition events or Twitch drop campaigns.
The new black and gold Starborn Phoenix is available to all PCplayers accessingNo Man’s Skythrough Steam, with the custom starship able to be installed on the platform as free DLC for the game, even if players don’t yet own the main game. This limited-time reward was revealed in anews article on the officialNo Man’s Skywebsite, and informed players that they’ll be able to access this content until December 19 at 11 AM EST. Once downloaded, players can redeem the ship in-game by paying a visit to the Quicksilver Synthesis vendor aboard the Space Anomaly.
No Man’s Sky Fans After The Starborn Phoenix Will Need to Be Quick
Aside from this new starship,No Man’s Skyalso released a small new updaterecently, allowing players to delve once again into the Adrift expedition until December 25. The rerun of this expedition event comes immediately after the repeating of the Omega expedition, the first one released forNo Man’s Skythis year. Additionally, players will get the chance to play through each of the other expeditions released for the game this year as they are rerun over the next couple of months, though each expedition, and their unique rewards, will still only be available for a limited time each.
2024 has certainly been a big year for the game, withNo Man’s Skyonce again being nominated for Best Community Support at The Game Awards.

No Man’s Sky
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.
