Summary
Q.What are No Man's Sky expeditions?
A.Expeditions are No Man's Sky's time-limited, community-driven game mode that launches you on a shared starting point to complete Milestones, with rewards and a final transition back to Normal mode when the event ends.

When the timer runs out, no further rewards can be earned, but your expedition save automatically converts into a Normal Mode save, allowing you to continue playing with the earned cosmetics and progress in the main game. You can also transfer expedition rewards to other saves via the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, so items earned during the event remain usable beyond the event itself [official notes]. Expeditions recur regularly, with new themes and varying durations; there are typically multiple expeditions per year, and some past expeditions are re-run in Redux formats around holidays for shorter windows [official notes]. This design keeps the game feeling fresh while giving players a structured, social objective to tackle together, often coordinating through Rendezvous Points and shared missions across the community [official notes].
