Alpha 4.0: Destination Pyro became available to all players on the live servers as part of the 4.0 Preview starting December 19, 2024. This preview includes all new technology, locations, and features. It runs concurrently with the existing Alpha 3.24.3 Live build, allowing players to choose between the preview and the current live build.
This may feel similar to our usual PTU process, but there’s one key difference: by running both builds on the live environment, we can take steps to ensure that your progress will carry over. Our goal is for anything you do and earn in the 4.0 Preview to persist without any further wipes.
Star Citizen’s second star system is now open!

Pyro has long been abandoned by the mining corporation that gutted any worth from its planets, but the industrial platforms remain. Now in the hands of outlaw groups, from the righteous Citizens of Prosperity to the terrorist XenoThreat gang, each station has its own rules to live by and challenging tasks for citizens to take on.
The gangs that control Pyro’s stations typically keep violence under control, but in the fringes of the station, it’s weapons-free and anything goes. Explore the depths of these contested zones, fight for unique loot, and maybe even discover more about those executive hangars.
Another relic of Pyro Amalgamated, the company’s left-behind asteroid bases await brave explorers. Find a way in and go deeper to uncover secrets, loot, and more. Some citizens claim to have found abandoned executive hangars built into certain asteroid bases, but none have ever made it past the front door…

Alpha 3.24: Cargo Empires was released on August 28, 2024, and introduced a wealth of updates that improve life in the ‘verse for those vital cargo haulers and citizens of all walks of life, including freight elevators, persistent hangars, and all-new missions.
Take full control of loading or arming your ship before taking off on your next great adventure. From missiles to freight, everything you need can be moved from storage by hand (or tractor beam) and loaded onto your ship exactly the way you like.
Take all the time you need in your hangar – this first proper use of instancing technology gives every player their own hangar to spawn vehicles without the wait. There’s no time limit, so you can take as long as you need to load up and prepare for the dangers of the ‘verse.
Make your hangar a home. Every player now has a persistent hangar at their primary residence that can be decorated with any owned decorations and flair. Your hangar is allocated by the largest vehicle you own, so it’ll always fit, even if you upgrade your ship.
Along with making accessing your ships easier, it’s now easier to access ships and load ground vehicles before taking off. Alongside freight elevators, hangars now feature a ship terminal that can recall any of your ships and ground vehicles from storage.
Tradable commodities (such as beryl and gold) are now traded in boxes, with different locations offering varying sizes relating to their location or purpose. Larger boxes can only be loaded onto larger ships too, adding variety to trading routes and pickups.
If manually loading your ship via freight elevators doesn’t suit your playstyle, all hangars now support automated cargo loading. While your ship will be unavailable for a short while, it will return fully stocked, re-armed, and ready to take off.
Hauling contracts are now open to all enterprising pilots. Players will play a vital role in the logistics network that keeps the Empire running as they travel from bustling landing zones to expansive distribution centers via remote space stations and perilous outposts.
The violent Nine Tails pirate gang is back and disrupting Stanton in the latest all-action Global Event. Play your part in ending the blockade by taking out enemy ships, hauling vital supplies, or escorting cargo to where it’s needed the most. Your system needs you!

Alpha 3.23: Adventure Beckons was released on May 10, 2024, and introduced a wealth of updates including greatly expanded character customization options, new wildlife and hunting missions, Master Modes to transform ship combat, as well as streamlined interactions and improved traversal controls.
Take care when exploring planetside; the kopion hound and marok bird now roam the ‘verse. While the marok will leave you alone, the kopion is a finely honed pack hunter, so tread carefully! This first iteration enables further fauna in the game, more of which will be added in coming patches.
Explore sprawling new industrial locations dotted around Stanton, each with fresh content and missions to discover. These Distribution Centers are owned by one of the ‘verse’s mega-corps, including Covalex Shipping and Sakura Sun, so each imposing structure features a unique layout, bespoke architecture, and well-paying opportunities for enterprising citizens.
Updates to the DNA tech behind the Character Creator give players more freedom than ever before to generate their perfect in-game avatar. New faces, hairstyles, and hair colors open up countless character combinations to ensure every player can be who they want to be.
Master Modes is a major change to dogfighting that brings ships closer during combat. Alongside more intense skirmishes, it moves ships closer to their intended role. For example, light fighters can better utilize their increased maneuverability to avoid heavy attacks, while gunships should rely on their overwhelming firepower and high defense.
Getting around the ‘verse has never been more intuitive. Refined character movement makes traveling on foot easier, while floating through space is much more precise thanks to vastly improved EVA.
How players interact with the game world is now easier thanks to vastly improved UI and interactions. This much-anticipated rework includes how players navigate the mobiGlas, plan routes with the StarMap, use items, loot containers and enemies, and more.
Alpha 3.23 introduces the final of three major updates to the all-action Arena Commander module. The latest release introduces a multi-crew engineering game mode alongside challenging ship racetracks and intense combat maps.
StarEngine, the heart of Star Citizen, receives updates and new technology each release. In Alpha 3.23, Cloud and Water tech each receive significant new features, including the introduction of God Rays and realistic liquid physics, to deliver breathtakingly realistic environments across the entire system.
First-person combat has been overhauled to make firefights more immersive. New scopes, more realistic recoil, dynamic crosshairs, ammo repooling, backpack reloading, and the ability to fire while prone all make for a more exciting shooting experience across the game.

Alpha 3.22: Wrecks to Riches was released on December 14, 2023, and introduced the latest addition to the salvage career: Structural Salvage. After you've finished hull scraping and gathering any valuables, components, or cargo off of the derelict you're salvaging, it's time to break the vehicle apart! Using fracture and disintegration fields, crush your spoils into Construction Materials to earn even more cold, hard aUEC.
Time for a trim! Alpha 3.22 replaces the current selection of hairstyles with 20 new ones, using the latest visual and physics updates from the Squadron 42 character team. This update also includes the first long hairstyles introduced to Star Citizen.
The planets of Stanton get a little more full in Alpha 3.22 with the introduction of new large derelict settlements across the system. These locations serve as mission locations, new shops, and even a few social spaces. A pair of these new settlements have also made it into Arena Commander as new maps!
