Summary[ | ]

Galactic Map is a feature in No Man's Sky universe where the player can explore and discover star systems across the vast universe. It is available when the player is in space in their starship and can be accessed by pressing Psbutton.dpaddown/Key.m/Xboxbutton.dpaddown (PS4/PC/Xbox) or using the Freighter Warp Map on the freighter's bridge.
