: Always check the digital signature in file properties.
: Any site telling you to "turn off Windows Defender" for the game to work is likely infecting you.
: Files titled "free download" with specific version numbers are frequently wrappers for Stealer Logs , Ransomware , or Monero Miners .
: Official No Man’s Sky multiplayer requires Hello Games' servers . Pirated copies rarely support real-time multiplayer without significant risk to your Steam or Microsoft account.
