https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/20371-Letter-From-The-Chairman For the first time in our history, we will run 2 live releases in parallel, each with their own progress and persistence. This means you'll have the unique opportunity to choose which version you want to dive into, at least for a little while. This may feel like our usual PTU process, but there is one key difference: by running both builds on the Live environment, we can take steps to ensure that your progress on 4.0 will carry over. Our goal is for anything you do and earn in the 4.0 Preview to persist without any further wipes—unless something major happens, though we do not anticipate that. Some playtime stats too! Over one million of you have played 32 million hours in the game this year 32m hours of playtime, with us on day 353 of the year. 32000000 ÷ 352 ÷ 24 = averaging 3788 players per hour 3.8k concurrent average that'd put it in the top 250 games played on Steam https://steamcharts.com/top/p.10
