While playing No Man’s Sky, a player discovered an alien that had a strange similarity to Buzz Lightyear. No Man’s Sky players often find new and sometimes unusual things while exploring the universe, and this latest encounter with a Buzz Lightyear-looking alien is likely to please fans of the Disney-Pixar character.
Few games have seen more free improvements over the years than No Man’s Sky from Hello Games. While the game received huge hype before its release in 2016, many gamers ultimately felt let down by what was offered at launch. However, as has often been documented, No Man’s Sky redeemed itself in the eyes of many gamers, largely thanks to tons of free updates that aligned the game more with what fans originally expected from the title at launch. As a result, many players still log in each day to explore the nearly endless number of planets in the game.
Recently, one of these players, known as oldeluke on Reddit, discovered an alien with a shockingly similar outfit to Buzz Lightyear while visiting a Space Anomaly in No Man’s Sky. Sharing several images, the player showed that while the alien’s physical features looked nothing like the famous Disney-Pixar character, its spacesuit featured a predominately green and white design. In addition, the NPC’s clothing had some purple accents, and it even had wings reminiscent of Buzz Lightyear’s.
No Man's Sky Alien Resembles Buzz Lightyear
Since oldeluke shared their post on Reddit, many other users have shown interest in the discovery. With over 600 upvotes in less than a day, some fans have made jokes about the peculiar alien. Many highlighted how the suit design looked like Buzz Lightyear, while the NPC’s anatomy was starkly different. For example, the No Man’s Sky alien had massive teeth and reptilian skin.
This unusual alien encounter comes at an exciting time for No Man’s Sky players. Hello Games recently released the Worlds Part 1 update, marking one of the largest overhauls of some of the game’s systems since launch. Specifically, players now have even more reasons to continue to explore the game’s universe as new environmental elements have been added, including new types of fauna and flora. In addition, the game’s graphics received an overhaul, with updates to clouds, water, and more.
With so much more added to the game and players making even more discoveries in No Man’s Sky, it will be interesting to see what other alien life forms are encountered. Perhaps these discoveries will include similarities to other popular Disney-Pixar characters as well.

Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery. No Man's Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe's mysterious existence. How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets. The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
