As a player of this game, you'll be waiting until it's bad then. Many of the updates are expeditions which are live, timed missions with specific objectives and that have exclusive things you get by playing along. It's basically the funnest way to play the game and that's why hello games keeps making more of them.
You don't have to play every one of them, but it's fun and gets you some unique gear and is much better than the alternative of paying for gear like in a lot of modern games.
Edit: the timed aspect is also days, not like hours or something...right now they're rerunning the expeditions from the last whole year
FOMO is not bad if it's free. You've been conditioned by all the season pass shenanigans in other games. I bought one discounted physical copy on a PS4 years ago and played it on PS5, PSVR, PSVR2. The game is now essentially remastered this year with assets that may show up on their next game. I eventually bought it on Steam too and now they have cloud saves that can connect it to my PS5.
