This Week in Star Citizen: August 10 2026

CIG's August 10 This Week in Star Citizen update is mostly about dates: Foundation Festival 2956 is closing, Alpha 4.10 remains on the PTU, and two Bar Citizen stops are on the calendar.

The Impound has pulled the official items into a cleaner brief below, with the full weekly schedule preserved.

Foundation Festival nears its finish

CIG says Foundation Festival 2956 wraps up on Wednesday, August 12. The official update frames this as the last call for anyone who has not grabbed the related Twitch Drops or festival-themed rewards.

Ship Showdown moves toward the Sweet 16

Ship Showdown is fully underway, according to the post. CIG says players can rally behind their preferred vehicle and help push it into the Sweet 16 before Phase 1 closes this Friday.

The update also states that participants might win a Kruger L-22 Alpha Wolf in the process.

Alpha 4.10 remains on the PTU

On Alpha 4.10, CIG says all waves are now open on the PTU. The official update states that the team is working on additional fixes and tightening up the patch ahead of its upcoming release to live servers.
