No Man's Sky Journey Milestones list - Milestones and Trophies explained

A quick list of all the key Journey Milestones and any related Trophies in No Man's Sky.

Chances are, if you're going for No Man's Sky's Platinum Trophy - or even if you've just blasted off into space for the first time - you'll be at least somewhat familiar with the concept of Journey Milestones in No Man's Sky.

Acting as a form of in-game achievement tracker, Milestones will be triggered for doing just about any activity for a long enough period of time, be it shooting up starships or hunkering down on an inhospitable planet - and achieving a certain amount is also a necessary part of the Atlas Path. Right here, we'll explain what you need to do for every Journey Milestone in the game, as well as offering tips for reaching the maximum Milestones and as highlighting the quickest Milestones to achieve if you're running a little behind in your quest along the Atlas Path.

There are nine Milestone categories in total, each having ten levels within it, whilst the top-level Milestone for each category will award you a gold PlayStation Trophy if you're on PS4 - which is a pretty generous payoff. As you'll earn every other Milestone along the way by obtaining these nine maximum-level ones, we've left those out and gone straight to the top.


Please note that our No Man's Sky guides are in the process of being updated after the launch of No Man's Sky BEYOND - for now, this page may still have plenty of useful info, but bear in mind it's due a refresh! If you're looking for more on that big update though, our guide to what's new in the No Man's Sky BEYOND update and its release time on Xbox One, PC, PS4, our big list of No Man's Sky patch notes, or our guide to the new No Man's Sky multiplayer and Nexus hub are the best places to start!


Journey Milestone Tiers in No Man's Sky

Before we crack on with our explanation of each different Milestone category, here are the 12 Milestone Tiers and the number of Milestones required to reach them. Note that - very minor Atlas Path spoilers - each Milestone Tier, up to and including Magellan, is a requirement for a particular dialogue option in each Atlas Interface.

  • Apollo - 0 milestones
  • Pathfinder - 5 milestones
  • Juno - 10 milestones
  • Rosetta - 15 milestones
  • Cassini - 20 milestones
  • Kepler - 25 milestones
  • Dawn - 30 milestones
  • Curiosity - 35 milestones
  • Hubble - 40 milestones
  • Viking - 45 milestones
  • Magellan - 50 milestones
