Hello,

On August 9, the 5th anniversary of our PlayStation launch, we teased our 17th update, Frontiers. Today, we are pleased to let players see what we’ve been working so hard on.

It’s a huge update, with a focus on improving base building and introducing occupied settlements on planets.

Planetary settlements

Clusters of pioneering aliens have banded together to build planetary settlements. These little communities, bustling with life and promise, can now be found on all inhabited planets across the galaxies.

Found your own settlement

Submit your management credentials to become overseer of a settlement, rename it, and assume leadership over its citizens. The settler population will look to you for town planning, treasury management, policy decisions and conflict resolution. Every settlement is procedurally generated, with unique buildings, neighbourhood layouts, colour schemes, and interior and exterior decoration.

Help settlements grow

Ungoverned settlements start off small and modest, with a sparse population and only a few buildings scattered around their town centre. Provide resources to construct new buildings and transform your ramshackle collection of dwellings into a flourishing town!

Resolve citizen disputes

Celebrate the start of a new month with some PlayStation Store discounts! Starting this Wednesday, September 1 for a limited time* a number of PlayStation games are available at a reduced price. That includes fantastical co-op adventure It Takes Two, galaxy-spanning epic No Man’s Sky and thrilling race sim F1 2021.
