Hello, Wayfarers!

Now that you’ve had time to stretch your legs after The Great Wipe, we’re excited to gather your feedback about all the new updates! Keep those bug reports coming in! Each one helps us build a better experience for our Early Access launch!

Members of our community have already been hard at work honing their building skills. In fact, one of the community builds is the home of this week’s Community Event: Trivia “Night”!

On Sunday, July 26, 2026 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, come on down to Chef Jerek’s House of Kebabs on Velogas IV and test your Stars Reach knowledge! We’re told there are going to be prizes!

You can join us to participate in game, but we'll also be hanging out in the Discord [Auditorium], and on [Twitch] as well!

Just portal over to Velogas IV! You can’t miss the place!

Chef Jerek welcomes you! They serve our favorite kebabs in the galaxy!

More Coverage Means More Fun!

We’re delighted to share that press coverage is still popping up (with more to come)!

  • Interview: MMO Pioneer Raph Koster on Stars Reach and the Future of Sandbox Game Design | 80Level

  • Raph Koster — The Puddle, the Splat, and the Droplets | Re:Play (on Spotify)

And, as we mentioned last week, NoClip’s second video featuring Raph Koster, called The History & Evolution of Massively Multiplayer Games is now live for the general public. You can watch that here!

Missed our Most Recent Fireside Chat? We’ve Got You Covered!

Last week, we hosted a Fireside Chat to highlight some of the updates to the user interface, crafting, weapons, and more. And, as is tradition, we also teased some things coming in the near future!

If you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the entire conversation on the Stars Reach YouTube channel here

A Couple of Additional Community Builds

We continue to be awed by the creativity, detail, and speed of our community. Here are just a couple of additional builds from your fellow Wayfarers!


Hooby has been hard at work building the villa of their dreams!

In addition to his growing Kebab empire, Jerek is ready for the galaxy’s most important feature… Merchandising, Merchandising, Merchandising!
