This Week in Star Citizen – December 8, 2025
Luminalia begins, Alpha 4.5 progresses toward release, and major community events continue across the 'verse. Here’s what’s happening this week in Star Citizen.
The Intergalactic Aerospace Expo has wrapped for 2955, closing out its first-ever run in Orison’s clouds with the kind of spectacle only the ‘verse’s largest ship show can deliver. And while the hangars have emptied and the thrusters cooled, the season isn’t slowing down one bit.
Luminalia is only days away, bringing 13 days of gifts and a festive contest to keep your cargo holds full of surprises. At the same time, Alpha 4.5 continues its march through the PTU, thanks in no small part to the testers who’ve been putting every system through its paces. If you’d rather try your luck than your troubleshooting skills, you can still enter to win a custom CLX-built Star Citizen PC inspired by Nyx before the giveaway closes on December 30.
And for those craving something a little dustier, Daymar Rally signups are open until January 3. Gather your crew, tune your engine, and prepare for one of the most storied endurance runs in the Stanton system when racers line up on January 24.
The Week Ahead
Midweek marks the start of Luminalia 2955. Expect the return of the daily gift calendar, so you’ll want to check in regularly to claim your share of seasonal cheer. By Friday, the weekly RSI Newsletter will be touching down in your inbox with the usual round of updates.
