YouTube’s ‘Xenthor Xi’ has shared a video, showing one hour of gameplay footage from Star Citizen 3.0 in 4K. According Cloud Imperium, Star Citizen 3.0 is available on the PTU and the first wave of testers got their hands on it.
The goal of this initial PTU release is to increase its total player count in an effort test concurrency. The team also needs players to focus on testing the traversal system by quantum traveling and landing on moons. Furthermore, players should locate and visit Levski, and just explore the space around Crusader.
Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 will feature planetary landings, persistent universe content and a new back-end item system. It will also come with an implementation of commodities, trading Automated cargo buy/sell kiosks, and, indirectly, piracy. Furthermore, it will pack network improvements and user interface enhancements.
We don’t know when Star Citizen 3.0 will go be available to all backers. Our guess is that this won’t happen this year, however Cloud Imperium may pleasantly surprise us.
It’s worth noting that the alpha 3.0 release of Star Citizen was originally meant to go live this August. However, Cloud Imperium delayed it to September. Then, the team slightly delayed it until October when it became available to the Evocati Test Flight volunteer members.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more!

This game will be incredible for PC gamers if Chris Roberts will get off of his lazy *ss and push it through to completion.
Dude, one thing for sure, Chris isn’t lazy, his team team putting every effort to deliver us the most immersive game ever made, watch their channel on YouTube and then you can understand the development process
I understand Chris Roberts pretty well and I will gladly take back what I said about him if this game ever gets finished but he isn’t the same man that he was back in the day and he’s blown through millions and millions of dollars of backer money on a never-ending game devolpment.

“Blew through millions”
He has almost 400 employees across 4 studios around the globe, do you think that comes cheap? They had to dedicate more than a year alone to modify CryEngine, rewrite it so that it has 64 bit floating point precision, necessary for the scales and distances used in SC, do you think that’s cheap or simple?
Sorry but if you bothered to read the weekly ATV episodes detailing the development progress, or at least the monthly dev recaps on the site, you wouldn’t be saying such ignorant things.
And yes I have put money into the project, but I am not saying this because i feel personally attacked, you are perfectly entitled to whatever opinion you hold, but the problem is that you are being disingenuous.
su(k his d[ck some more you fu(kiing (unt
“Sorry but if you bothered to read the weekly ATV episodes detailing the

Well EA says they aren’t a*shole money grubbers on the internet. Do you believe that also?
Yes but EA have share holders and debts to pay off on top of making a profit, CIG is in a different situation because Star Citizen is crowd funded ,they’re their own publisher as well.
Not to mention literally building their physical offices from the ground up.
he is lazy and a scammer keep su(king his d[ck
Ridiculous to call them lazy. They’ve definitely expanded the scope too much ahead of release, but they’re hardly lazy.
The community voted on which direction to go in, which was to add more features since the funding campaign was more successful than expected.
The last stretch goal was achieved some time in 2013, nothing more has been added since.
Please don’t speak of things you know nothing about. Complete planets and procedural cities are just two examples of things that at best were supposed to come after the initial release.
Wanna tone down the arrogance, especially since you’re completely wrong?
The initial plan was to have planets where you could only land on a couple of places, they said they would try to get procedural planets but made no promises about it, they were able to figure it out quicker than expected so that’s why we have it.
2013 wtf? gamers have been pouring money into this game year after year.
And add to that the thousands of backers that went for a refund of their money because they saw through this sham.
2017 and the game is in alpha stage 5 f*cking years later? Do you really have that much faith?
Faith? Are you mentally impaired or something? Each month they post a several page long blog update about everything that’s been done, every week they post 30-50 minute long development update videos.
There is no faith required you mongoloid, you can watch it happen.
People who want a refund can easily ask for it, thousands of refunds out of nearly 1 million backers.
I’m mentally impaired because I’m aware of this possible backer scam? Maybe it’s not a fool’s dream. Maybe Star Citizen will be a reality in 10 or 12 years. I hope so.
The real scam is the AAA industry at the moment, at least SC is playable since pre-alpha, can’t even say that about AAA released games sometimes and their buggy mess that needs patching.
I don’t care how long it takes. I’d rather it be a groundbreaking, polished game than another No Mans Sky or any other mass produced “AAA” tosh that has been released by major studios lately.
You know…they say the same things before no man sky launched.
the c!~nt chirs lazy a$$ m0t#erfu(ker roberts is stealing all the money this is the biggest scam in the gaming history
If/when this game ever gets full room-scale VR support, I’m plugging into the Matrix and never unplugging.
It won’t, that would require to develop a completely separate version of the game.
Regular VR for a seated experience is planned post release.
All aboard the hype train
Why is it so hard for this motherf*cker to finish this game already?
Isn’t it obvious? good game takes time, you want a game that release in less than a year with almost no content, go and play call of duty
Yeah thanks you judgemental pr*ck I’m not a COD fan, I’m into tactical espionage not that it matters.
Less than a year? *scoff* “Development of Star Citizen began in 2011 and was originally planned for a release in 2014, and again in 2016, there is as of 2017 no official release date.”
That’s 7 years you M*oron!
You should’ve stop when you say “Star Citizen began in 2011”. No it wasn’t, the development started in 2012. besides, since then the scope of the game has changed drastically, if the game had released in 2014 then we wouldn’t have got the planetary tech and much more contents. it would’ve been an Elite Dangerous clone. and also I don’t care if you’re into tactical espionage or whatever. if you are impatience then go and play those games releases every year will little more content.
“every year will little more content” as if this game will offer tremendous content when it will be released. Wake up it’s the game industry and this sucker has made millions. Or should I say suckers are those that prepayed and all that.
And yes I will go and play those releases cause they keep me in check for my yearly fix. As if you’re not doing the same thing, you hypocrite, lol.
and you’re a characterless troll.
perfect argument bozo. very comeback, much idiot.
yes, the very definition of your personality. a characterless troll.
Why don’t you hold hands with the other idi*ot over there and f*ck off already.
And now you’ve became a foul mouthed characterless triggered edgy kid
* Insults…
* uneducated comments about 7 years not understanding that 7 years ago they did not even know they will reach their Kickstarter goal of 4M£
* Ignoring (on purposes?) that game scope change with backers approval Mid-2014
* Multiple modules available, full transparence (hundreds of communication) and free download for none backers several times per year
May be you should rest a bit and come back when you calm down or source your information from better source than nay-sayers troll’s twitter?
Maybe you shouldn’t butt-in on my discussions with other users, unless you’re one of those stalkers.
My comment is as educated as wikipedia is. Speculating I got it from Twitter just goes to show how smart you are, not that butting in on other peoples convos dignifies anything less of the latter.
Alex, I react for the reasons I listed in my previous comment. I do not care if you exchange with someone else. You could even have an exchange to yourself. In case you did not realize, this is a public comments section and the subject is SC.
As original backer I know a bit about chronology of events and won’t let someone spread misleading information.
You can disagree but that won’t make me go away.
By the way, I carefully Wikipedia and can’t find any motherf*cker or M*oron. Time to become a Wiki contributor? 🙂
beat around the bush all you want you’re still a creep and annoying fella.
“creep and annoying fella” must be the biggest population surrounding you man based on fact you can’t swallow any dissenter while using insults and uneducated comments as a proof of something.
Umm aint it weird to call it version 3.0? Shouldn’t 1.0 be release?
It’s Alpha 3.0 ….
Pathetic .
I remember when they didnt had tons of millions of money that this game is gona have deap space economy / factions / market / politic . U know the best space sim ever built . And then they made some fps combat , hired actors an sh*t . This game is never gona be what everyone is hoping for .
So in other words you know nothing about what is in the actual 3.0 release?
biggest scam in the gaming history
i rather give this money than EA and their bullshit games with p2w MT. so yeah, i woudl consider battlefront 2 and EA to be the biggest scam in gaming history.
Whit that kind of money everone shoud get a kilo of weed a starship and a hooker
Tomas, Actors were planned since day one for SQ42.
FPS is nothing more than the part of program allowing players to walk in ships or cities with others players or NPC’s… except they have guns.
Looking for deep space economy / factions / market / politic? Don’t look further. If you are in such type of gameplay, CIG hired in Feb. 2014 a guy name Zurovec. He is kind of a guru in economy. Trading/economy is starting to come with 3.0 just because no usable kiosk was available before.
2018 is a pivotal year not only for new jobs added (mining, salvaging…) but also economy and transport. Goods to trade and ship to buy… with in game credits.
This si coming Tomas.
I dont think so . Actors ware put in just to make some marketing / good trailer / bla bla bla . . . . . There is no space where they can use the. And no story . The fps combat was made in a weakend just to throw out some spade where all the nerds can jump and shoot eatch other . Again we are still not closer to space empires trading and warfare . . . But hey we need shooting ppl not shooting spaceships .
The game is long dead and they have no money . And its not even in beta. so there is no plan or future .
Sorry Tomas my bad. During one second I thought you were genuinely not knowing the story behind CIG creation. Clearly you know nothing and don not want to educated yourself. Another low level troll with he scam/doom/90days top prophecy.
Actors capture was planned during Kickstarter. I you knew a bit of reason behind SQ42 you would know it is the modern version of Wing Commander which was the first game to include real actors in game.
And this. FPS done in a week…
The game is so dead that new people have joined by thousands and Anniversary sale is the best ever in 5 years. Right during the new LandClaimGate drama.
Keep hating man. Stay in your total ignorance. That will not affect this game or anything else but your own personal life because being so dull is the key to make you IRL in trouble more than anyone else… sad.
biggest scam in the gaming history lazy a$$ busta chirs took all the money
yeah yeah, all those progresses are just all of us dream
This in VR with Oculus Touch and voice control support would take over my life.
VR is planned but absolutely no set date. About Voice control you can use VoiceAttack. This is cheap and working very well with multiple type of different voices. Good as well for ED.

And now Kim Kardashian has upvoted me. I’m an idiot now. I’m a f*cking idiot now. Thank you godamn internet.
Boring and lifeless. A real No mans sky 2.
another pundit came to judge a book by it’s cover
Actually I “read” the “book” its posted above.
well you need to read more
In Alpha 2.6 so far you can:
do missions and get credits
you can play multiship
you can play the FPS module
you can play against the AI in a simulation
you can customise your ships loadout and weapons.
you can buy new clothes and space suits
you can walk about in ships
you have a large play area
you can play PVP
you can do EVA combat in space
you can pick weapons and buy weapons
you can walk about in the hub area
And? Why comment when you havn’t even played the alpha or are even going to test it, 3.0 will be adding alot of new features.
I been playing a lot of games in the last 20 years . And i dont need to play a game in order to tell its good or not . But a game whit tha buget and developing time are still in alpha means its S*it and it will stay like that until its released . after that you can prove me wrong. now go and defend your purchase like ignorat ppl do .
Mabe in 4 years we can get a beta . And 8 years a release . GG
I will enjoy 3.0 release dispite people like you, so thanks for your uninformed opinion. BTW, I got the game for free with my old R9 280 and SC has come along way since then, it was just a hanger back then. I don’t see anyone else doing a game like this, most of the AAA studios are doing the same sh*t every year and actually scamming people with loot boxes, microtransations and season passes, along with £50 starter price for the game, that’s the real scam.
“I don’t see anyone else doing a game like this, ” oh lord save us . Pc have s*it ton of space games .
EvE . Elite dangerous . Star Conflict . FTL and lots of other . You are just to lazy to google best space sims . . . Right ?
Yeah go enjoy it . I dont undostand some ppl . Like the ones lissening justine beiber or ppl who buy Battlefront 2 of NFS payback . . . .
Wow what a simpleton, you have no idea about what you’re talking about, it’s a “space game”………LMAO, yeah just a space game.
Oh sry . My bad its not even a space game . Its in alpha so its a : sp c g me .
Your 20 years of playing games was alot funnier than that, going down hill now being as you’ve ran out of argments, oh wait, you had none in the first place.

I knew a meme was coming, your comment history shown me the future.

Top kek. Why are you so sensitive to what other people choose to like? Do you enjoy arguing with people who like things you don’t and think your opinion is some sort of final word? Are you insecure or just sad in general?
Ppl who supprt scam devs are the reason gameing is this pathetic stage . And if no one will correct them then they gona be supporting even more trash .
A normal ppl would not buy a car with 2 wheels and no exterior or seats . . . .
And the sad thing is ppl still belive in it . Ppl belive in things whats never gona be real . Like finished star citizen or jesus . . .
And yet people are still buying in to things like this and going to church on sunday in droves. Keep it up though! Maybe if you get angry enough on an internet comment section all the developers of the world will take notice.good luck son.
Fighting them like this is still better then supproting them . LoL
Yeah, but your not though are you? Why not write an article and publish it or try protesting. Making posts on a dark side of gaming forum is hardly winning the fight, if they are even aware of a fight happening.
There is a ton of them on the internet . But no one cares . If you put 1000$ in a game you gona be belive it until the servers go offline . Then its gona b late to refound. And why here ? I did the same on reddit . And i got banned cuz i am a “troll” cuz my opinion is different then others and they dont want to lissen that the 1000$ is lost forever.
Maybe in 3 years when the game is gona be in beta ppl gona woke up. .
Ppl how support scumbag devs are te reason we have scumbag devs.
Just block him and move on. There is no point in arguing with people who are against this game baselessly. They are ignorant and choose to be. There is no arguing with ignorance.

This game looks so awesome! I would buy it for sure. It looks so nice in 4k. I never realized how much a difference is from 1440p to 2160p. Thats hard for me to swallow as I just purchased a new gsync ultra wide 1440p but a very good deal for black Friday. Half off essentially. I own a 4k now just not gsync and 60h, hope gsync and 120hz make up for that. =( Anyways awesome video. I couldn’t take my eyes off it!
G-sync +120hz will be much better than 60hz/4K in my view, it’s the reason why I have stuck with my 1080p/144hz/G-sync. Though I got to say, Fast-Sync is impressive to use for 60hz now, no tearing, very low input, much lower than G-Sync but the silky smoothness you get from G-Sync can’t be shown until you use one.
I do hope you guys are correct. I can’t help but remain skeptical. I hope the difference in resolution is very minimal. When I look at SC video and change the res back and forth it scares me. I did get a great deal at half off from 1500 thanks to Black Friday. I’ve never seen gsync or anything over 60hz.
The difference is not that big homie. Stay with 1440p@144hz till they start selling us at a good price the 4ks@120hz.
lol at guys that don’t understand game development, it is perfectly normal for the amount of time it is taking to make a game like Star Citizen, games like The Elder Scrolls, GTA, Watch Dogs, Fallout, and most MMOs take around 5-8 years to develop. The only difference between these games and Star Citizen is that Star Citizen revealed itself very soon when these other games were kept quiet about until a year or two near launch and since Star Citizen is crowdfunded people are worried thinking they got scammed. Nevermind Cyberpunk 2077 was announced around the same time as Star Citizen and we have yet to see anything of that game and CD Projekt Red only just started to actually make an alpha.
fantastic.amazing.terrific.
but why only 4k, seriously ?
if backers weren’t so greedy with their 2-dollar pledges, the Star Citizen devs would now have 400 or 500 millions $, instead of only a few miserable 180+ millions.
honestly, what you guys expect the devs to do with only 180 millions ?
you remember the devs saying they were going to hire some linguistic experts, to have them create dozens of complete written/spoken alien languages. how many languages are there in the game, currently? 3 ? 5 ? or is it 8 ?
guys, why are you going to play SC in 4k, when you could be playing it in 16k, by 2024-2025 ? this game can only show its true potential at 16k, or 8k upscalled. 4k, it isn’t even worth doing the game !
now, guys, go to their quickstarter page, and help them reaching the easy 300 million mark. damn, you guys are getting the full experience, you have access to all items, perks, options, ships, for absolutely FREE, you could be a little more supportive, and give them a little more money. 300 millions are important, the more money they have, the more people they can hire, and the sooner the game will be released ! can’t you see that ?
also, if they reach 300 M (ideally, the perfect amount would be 500 M), they will go full crazy, and they will create a brand new spaceship, big enough for 4 people, with a new set of textures, and 4 slots to insert weapon and navigation modules. 2 junior 3d designers will work like crazy for 50 minutes, in the ship editor, but all that work will be worth the effort.
so guys, if they reach the 300 millions, they might be able to release a beta version, by 2024. 400 millions would make you guys save some time, the beta would be out by november 2023.
an insider said the tem was already working on a trailer for the beta, when they annonce it at Paris Games, in 2023. the trailer will be in 16k, obviously.
*we refuse to work so hard only to make a game in a low resolution like 4k*, some employees told fans, in a AMA.
on thing is sure: people will go crazy, when devs show what they’ve been doing , at the E3 2025 .
we can’t wait.
sorry guys, I’m out now, I’m going to quickstarter website, I’m going to upgrade my donation, will now donate $10’000, instead of $3’000, this game is amazing.
7yrs in the making and Roberts is still milking the investors.
What a sensible individual you are. Delicious. People must fight to have a hug with you 🙂
yeah ok f*ck off.
Merry Christmas too 🙂
it’s not working, f*ck off.
really? you’re calling me an annoying p***k, yet you’re acting like a total foul mouthed characterless triggered edgy kid, let me reflect the
reality here for you. you go to a star citizen article and started to
putting trolling comments there. and it is not just this article. Every
time when an article about star citizen came out you hating cult just
swarm the the comment section and started to polluting, despite knowing the obvious, if it isn’t the mentality of a troll then what it is? yet you refusing to accepting it.
honestly, If you’re not interested in Star Citizen then why is it matter to you then if such a game even exist? why is it matter to you that the community is funding it? why is it matter to how and why the development of this game is taking so much time? in the end you’re not interested then just shut up.
But I know peoples like you, you will come back. nothing but negativity.
I am interested in Star Citizen, and I can’t stand it when people like Roberts take sheep (and here is where you step in) for granted. This game should’ve been delivered ages ago, period!
