No Man's Sky fans should prepare for an imminent update, as Sean Murray is using emojis to signal it. The next update, codenamed Cosmos, is expected to be significant. Murray has previously used emojis to tease updates, starting with an egg for the Living Ship update in 2020. Each subsequent emoji has become a reliable indicator of the upcoming update's release.

Historically, Murray's emojis have appeared when the next update is just a few days away. Assuming the pattern holds, Cosmos could bring major changes to the game. Fans hope for a major update marking the 10th anniversary of No Man's Sky, with possibilities ranging from a complete galaxy overhaul to planets with multiple biomes.
Additionally, fans are expecting more options for galactic traversal and an overhaul of the game's technical underpinnings to enable vibrant in-game communities and a more persistent universe. Whether Cosmos will bring these changes remains to be seen, but Murray's continued use of emojis suggests the update is on its way.
