Can You Play as a Human in No Man’s Sky?

Not as a confirmed species option. Hello Games lists Gek, Vy’keen, Korvax, and Traveller/Anomaly as player choices, but its description does not list humans or say that Traveller/Anomaly means human. You can customise your character’s appearance, but the official information available does not confirm a human species selection.

Which character options does No Man’s Sky list?

Hello Games’ Next update page says: “Play as a Gek, Vy’keen, Korvax or Traveller / Anomaly.” Human is not among the options named there. The wording also does not explain whether Traveller/Anomaly is intended to be human, so it is best not to treat that interpretation as established lore.

The official description confirms those named options, but it is not an exhaustive guide to every preset currently available in the game. It also does not document gameplay or story differences between them. For a comparison, rely on visible appearance and customisation choices checked in your current game rather than assuming a species has unique abilities.

How do you customise your character?

Hello Games says you can build an Appearance Customiser in a base or freighter to personalise your appearance. The official character page describes the location and broad purpose of the feature; it does not provide a current, complete list of the presets shown in the menu.

Does the Skyborn Exosuit let you play as a human?

No. Hello Games’ Voyagers Update 6.0 page describes the Skyborn Exosuit as a five-piece set—armour, gloves, boots, legs, and torso customisations—that can be applied to any alien race and mixed with existing customisations. That is information about outfits, not evidence of a human species option or a definition of Traveller/Anomaly.
