If you somehow hadn’t already heard, then avert your gaze for now, because here’s where we’ll be explaining not only how to get the centre of the galaxy but also what exactly happens when you finally make it there. So, of course, there are full spoilers ahead. If you can really call them that. Please note that our No Man’s Sky guides are in the process of being updated after the launch of No Man’s Sky BEYOND - for now, this page may still have plenty of useful info, but bear in mind it’s due a refresh! If you’re looking for more on that big update though, our guide to what’s new in the No Man’s Sky BEYOND update and its release time on Xbox One, PC, PS4, our big list of No Man’s Sky patch notes, or our guide to the new No Man’s Sky multiplayer and Nexus hub are the best places to start! Cycle back to our main hub for what’s new in what’s new in No Man’s Sky Beyond and more basic info on the big update, otherwise take a look at our deep dive on No Man’s Sky multiplayer explained for more on teaming up, our guide to base building, an introduction into electrical wiring and powering your base, to how to expand your Exosuit, Ship and Multi-tool inventory space, and Freighters and Frigates explained. Plus other handy stuff like how to repair your ship and get the Hermetic Seal, Pure Ferrite, Metal Plating and Di-Hydrogen Jelly, locations of theAtlas Pass v1, v2 and v3, a guide to No Man’s Sky money and how to earn Units fast, plushow to get Antimatter and the Antimatter recipe, and even how to save the game in No Man’s Sky, too. Finally, we have pages on how to reach the centre of the galaxy, how to get Chromatic Metal, and a Journey Milestones list, too. Reaching the galactic core will send you to an entirely new galaxy. Your inventory’scontents will remain, as will your Units, but your ship, multi-tool, and Exosuit’s upgrades will be broken and all need repairing, as your ship did at the very start of the game. It is, in essence, a completion of the hints at a story which are released to you through the various stages of your journey. The “Initialise” message suddenly means a little more as you re-boot, as it really does seem as though the entire galaxy you spawn in is a simulation devised by the ever-present Atlas. It reduces much - if not all - of your efforts up until now to meaninglessness. Perhaps that’s the whole point.
