LATEST MAJOR UPDATE

Cosmos 7.0

Hello Games lists space-station direction, alliances, orbital construction, deep-space salvage, a new system map, and the Our Journey Continues anniversary expedition. These are publisher descriptions, not Tech Life Hybrid hands-on results.

LATEST RELEASE-LOG ENTRY

Cosmos patch 7.04

Dated September 21. The release log labels this entry PC; do not assume another platform has the same patch number or timing. Check your platform's actual build before following fix advice.

RETURNING PLAYER

Start with the release log

Cosmos is released, so older articles calling it a future teaser are out of date. Check the current platform build and expedition availability in-game before planning a timed reward.

CURRENT EVIDENCE // EXPEDITION CAUTION

Cosmos is released; timed rewards need a live check.

The Cosmos update introduces the Our Journey Continues anniversary expedition. Its availability can change, and this page does not claim a current in-game end date. Treat older Swarm expedition instructions as historical unless Hello Games announces a return.

2026 RETURNING-PLAYER MAP

Four major updates, four different systems

CROSS-SAVE + PLATFORM RECORD

Availability is not the same as patch parity.

Hello Games' official records list the game across PC, Mac, Steam Deck, PlayStation, Xbox, Game Pass, Switch, Switch 2, and supported VR platforms. Cross-save supports up to five cloud saves across the named platform families; conflicts prompt the player to choose a version. Back up important local saves before linking or resolving conflicts.

NEXT GUIDE

Latest update tracker

A permanent version page with per-platform status and a visible evidence timestamp. It must be updated from the official release log, not a repost.

NEXT GUIDE

Cross-save without losing progress

Account linking, five-save limit, conflict selection, local backups, privacy terms, and the cloud-delete consequence of disconnecting every account.

NEXT GUIDE

Returning in 2026

A practical selector for Remnant, Xeno Arena, The Swarm, and Cosmos. Gameplay steps require current-client verification before publication.

Build a setup you can update and recover.

Use the current game record before adding mods, moving saves, or following an expired expedition guide.
