You can download this on the project's [https://github.com/qjimbo/NMSLegacyVersionInstaller/releases releases page]. <center>[[File:Nms legacy installer screenshot.png]]</center> Previous versions of No Man's Sky can also be downloaded from Steam manually using the DepotDownloader tool and your Steam Account. Read [[How to Install Old Versions from Steam]]. If you have an old offline installer from GOG.com, these can be installed as well. You can learn more about the differences between each version in the [[Legacy Versions Guide]]. If you have multiple different versions of No Man's Sky installed, check out the [[Change Save Game Folder]] page to see how to keep all of your No Man's Sky savegames in separate folders. Some Graphics Cards and Drivers may have problems working with older versions of No Man's Sky, check out the [[Compatibility Fixes]] page for information on how to resolve any issues. ====Playstation 4==== Version 1.00 can be accessed by uninstalling the game from the harddrive and reinstalling with the internet disconnected. It's worth noting that only the Playstation 4 received version 1.00, where as the first PC release was 1.03. Updates can also be installed manually and more detail will be added on this soon. ===Current Version=== Don't want to downgrade but miss the old aesthetic? The [[Back to Foundations]] mod allows players of the current version to restore planets closer to their appearance in the Foundation Update and is compatible with the latest updates to No Man's Sky.
