No Man's Sky Xeno Arena - 6.36 Patch Notes (4th May 2026)
Hello Games drops a focused bug fix patch for Xeno Arena, with Corvette issues and mission marker problems top of the list.
Corvette owners have had a rough few days. Since Xeno Arena launched, players have been dealing with decorations flying out of their ships mid-flight, collision offsets breaking the multiplayer experience, and Corvettes refusing to land at Space Stations or the Anomaly. Patch 6.36, live now on Steam, with other platforms to follow, addresses all of it in one go.
Beyond the Corvette fixes, mission markers were silently disappearing after Target Sweep Mode scans, which is the sort of bug that makes you question your own sanity before you realise it's the game. There's also a fix for a freighter duplication glitch that could spawn a ghost copy of your ship after warping. That one sounds funny until it isn't.
This is a tight, reactive patch from Hello Games. No sweeping changes, just real problems getting fixed quickly, which is exactly what you want from a studio in the weeks after a major update. Full patch notes below.
