You should have really tested him by embedding the url in the full stop, instead.

I would NOT be concerned about the CRB being 4 years old. It's really just a new layout of the original 2016 second edition one, with one major chapter change (the Sindal Sector - available in other products - was swapped for basic ship construction - available in another product). Anyone who owns Pirates of Drinax and High Guard has all the main stuff from both versions.
Given that the previous version went six years before that minor update, and Mongoose's frequent assurance that they have no edition cycle agenda, it should be fine. It's not totally impossible that we might see another physical update in a few years... but most likely it will just be occasional updates to the .pdf as we saw in 2024 and recently (the 2026 update literally changed one small part of one table in ship construction so that it was the same as in High Guard). If you bought it, you can download those updates.
If Mongoose are getting to the end of a print run, AND there's some clear reason to move things around or make changes, we may see a physical book update like 2022.

It was updated in 2025 with a new cover and some rules changes , most noticeable the change to ship bridges. This change has since been declared an error and I believe the pdf has been updated... but anyone with the dead tree copy has different rules.
A lot of people buy books and don't bother with pdfs, especially at the table.

In that case I'll wait for an update to the latest CRB to bring it in line with the PDF.
Bear in mind that, with the anniversary next year, that seems likely (as an outsider) to be 2027.
What's the best way to find out if the pdf has been updated? If it has, I may as well buy it and wait for the hardcopy reprint, hopefully in 2027.

If you get the PDFs on drivethru not only does the download app notice when there's an update but you can get an email that sometimes tells you what changed.

Mongoose also emails you if there are updates if you purchased on their site.
