No Man's Sky patch 4.22 official notes: PSVR2 memory optimization, plethora of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and more

With the recent release of patch 4.22, Hello Games introduced a plethora of bug fixes to No Man's Sky, including PSVR2 memory optimization, to smoothen out the overall player experience. The latest update follows the arrival of the highly anticipated Interceptor update, which introduced a wide variety of new content for No Man's Sky players to enjoy.

Patch 4.22 brings fixes to certain issues like the inability to build Teleport Receiver inside a Sentinel interceptor, the issue of collecting Hadal Cores from Nexus Missions, the issue of NPC ships navigating in a jerky fashion in the multiplayer mode, and more. Hotfix patches like 4.22 are generally expected after the release of a major update. No Man's Sky players have reported issues that they have been facing since the introduction of Interceptor and the developers have addressed the same in the latest update.

With the Interceptor update, travelers are now able to come across corrupted planets, pick up Sentinel Interceptor starships, encounter semi-arachnid Sentinel machines, unlock Aeron Turbojet, and plenty more. Without further ado, here are the official patch notes for update 4.22 in No Man's Sky.
