What is an HG file?
An HG file is a game save file created by No Man’s Sky, a science fiction exploration game developed by Hello Games. It stores player progress, including data such as discovered planets, inventory items, ship upgrades, mission status, and in-game location in a proprietary format. No Man’s Sky loads the HG file during startup to resume the player’s most recent session, making the files important for players who want to continue their progress across multiple play sessions.
More Information
You can find HG files in the save directory for No Man’s Sky. If you need to back up or transfer your saved data between systems, you may have to manually copy your HG files or utilize the cloud save feature provided by platforms like Steam or PlayStation.
How to open an HG file
You can open HG files with Hello Games No Man’s Sky. HG files are used exclusively by No Man’s Sky and are not compatible with other games.
HG files are not meant to be manually edited. However, game modders may use third-party tools, such as goatfungus NMSSaveEditor, to view or modify the save data. Remember that editing these files incorrectly may lead to them becoming corrupt.
