No Man's Sky creature battles

The Xeno Arena update marks a significant expansion of the game's companion system as it nears its 10th anniversary.

Players can now train and level up their creatures for competitive play across various planetary arenas.

The new feature includes a dedicated multiplayer mode and a range of unique abilities for different species.

While some fans have welcomed the addition, others have noted performance issues on certain platforms.

The update is free for all existing players and continues the game's long history of transformative post-launch content.
