This Week in Star Citizen – December 1, 2025

IAE 2955’s finale, Alpha 4.5 testing progress, upcoming ISC and Roadmap updates, plus community highlights from across the ‘verse.

This Week in Star Citizen – December 1, 2025

This week opens with the final stretch of IAE 2955, a pair of fresh flyable releases, and a busy slate of dev updates as Alpha 4.5 continues its march through testing. You’ve also got a chance to win a custom Nyx‑themed CLX rig, split stylistically between Levski grit and Vanduul menace—one destined for Manchester, the other for one very lucky citizen.

The Kruger L‑22 Alpha Wolf and Greycat MDC hit the Persistent Universe straight to flyable, while the latest Talkin’ Shop episode and a deep‑dive Star Citizen Live brought in surprise guests and detailed conversations around ship design, Engineering, the Kruger Stingray, the RSI Galaxy, and more. Evocati testers continue hammering on the newest 4.5 builds, with plans to update the build today and open PTU to Wave 1 soon.

With IAE closing midweek, this is your last chance to get hands‑on with nearly every ship and vehicle in the game before the expo doors slide shut. Meanwhile, another Roadmap update is on the way, Inside Star Citizen returns, and regular newsletters round out the week.

This Week

On Tuesday, the Subscriber Monthly Newsletter and Subscriber Comm-Link arrive, alongside continued free‑flight access during the IAE 2955 Finale—just hop to any kiosk on the Orison show floor.

Wednesday brings a new Roadmap Update with additional Alpha 4.5 details, and also marks the final day of IAE 2955.

Inside Star Citizen returns Thursday with Jared and Thorsten spotlighting updates to Engineering since its previous showcase. Expect a brief server downtime beginning at 13:00 UTC.

Friday closes with the weekly RSI Newsletter.
