This Week in Star Citizen – February 9, 2026

The new year is settling in, and development across the ’verse has kicked back into gear. With teams returning from the holidays, work on Alpha 4.6 is accelerating, and the January Monthly Report paints a clear picture of momentum. From AI Features to core backend tech, the foundation for 2026 is already taking shape.

Star Citizen Live returned with a deep-dive Tech Talk featuring CTO Benoit Beauséjour, covering everything from Dynamic Server Meshing and Instancing to the transport system, long-term persistence, social layers, and more. If you enjoy hearing the nuts and bolts of how the ’verse functions, this episode was a treasure trove.

Meanwhile, Evocati testers are about to dig into the first Tech Preview of the year, focused on the Inventory Rework. It's the opening round of several tech previews, including the first hands-on looks at Crafting. Their feedback will help shape the experience before it spreads to the wider PTU.

What’s Ahead This Week

Tuesday brings a new Monthly Bundle tailored for Coramor celebrations, so expect something suitably pink and heartfelt.

On Wednesday, Coramor officially returns. The legacy of Yuri and Cora still resonates, offering citizens a moment to celebrate connection in all its forms. Expect festivities, themed extras, and a brief downtime at 11:00 UTC. Argo also steps into the spotlight with a new episode of Behind the Ships, landing the manufacturer’s latest craft squarely in view.

The Roadmap Update arrives the same day, including refreshed 4.6 cards, a preview of some 4.7 additions, and a Progress Tracker update. Also debuting Wednesday: Industrial Missions previously tested in the 4.6 PTU, giving crews new ways to put their heavy hardware to work. A recap on Spectrum will help guide players through the new offerings.

Thursday marks the start of a Free Fly event running February 12–23, paired with a Referral Bonus—an easy excuse to bring a few friends aboard.

And rounding out the week, Friday delivers the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter to your inbox.
