Let's dive into what the Version Mismatch error is all about in *No Man’s Sky*. You'll see this error if you attempt to start a multiplayer session with a friend who is on a different platform, and one of you hasn't updated the game to the latest version. For example, if you're on Steam with the latest update and your friend on PS5 hasn't updated yet, the Version Mismatch error will appear. This issue can also occur when playing on the same platform if one player's game is outdated.
