Updates, events and development notes.
October 3, 2026 Update
The ammunition bug is fixed; rookie protection has been reworked, and a second R&D layout and chat-to-group invites are now live.
Weekly Rankings Are Live: Rewards for the Top 10, a Title for #1
Every week, the top 10 pilots in NPC Damage, Enemy Kills, Experience and Honor win ULB-100, the top 3 also get Premium, and each #1 wears an exclusive title for a week. Week one is short: it closes on Monday 5 October at 00:00 (server time).
Choose Your Title: 14 Achievements Now Grant One
You now choose the title above your pilot name. Equip any title you've earned under Profile → Achievements, and if you're in-game it shows up instantly. Achievements you completed earlier count too.
New Event: Rift Invasion — This Friday at 20:00!
Rifts open this Friday, 20:00-22:00 server time! Clear powered-up Alpha waves with your company and claim company and damage ranking rewards.
September 19, 2026 Update
41 new UBER missions and a lock for the quick slot bar are now live.

The UBER map and a second row on the quick slot bar are now live.
Scheduled Maintenance — 8 September 2026
Scheduled maintenance on 8 September 2026, between 12:00 and 14:00 Turkish time (UTC+3). Pilots on the Turkish server will be moved to the Amsterdam server.
The Language Barrier in Chat Is Gone
Click the "translate" link next to a message you don't understand, and read it in your own language.
Three New Sovereign Designs
Glory, Aetherius and Tycoon have arrived. They share one hull, but each brings its own edge.
Multi-Ship Hangar Is Live
We have moved from the single-ship model to a multi-ship hangar. You can now keep several ships, equip each one separately, and switch between them.
R&D Simulation: Try It, Reset It, Try Again
Test your build before you spend a single point. See the log files, Isotope and credits it would cost, and the combined effect of the skills you pick. Your account is never touched.
Steam Week Special: A Surprise Happy Hour Every Night
We are celebrating our Steam launch. For one week, a happy hour opens every night at an hour we will not announce in advance, and it runs for 2 hours.
We Are Live on Steam
AbysOrbit passed Steam review and is now live. The store page is open and the game is downloadable. The browser version continues exactly as before — same account, shared universe.
Keyboard Shortcuts Are Here
A new Keyboard tab in the settings panel: see every shortcut and rebind it to any key. Different layouts, including AZERTY, are now supported too.
Company Switching Is Here
You can now switch your company from your profile. It costs 50,000 Orbidium and half of your Honor Points; once you confirm, you start at your new company's home base.
Our Steam Launch Is Delayed by a Few Days
The Steam launch announced for August 13 is delayed by 3-5 days. The game runs normally, your account and purchases are unaffected — only the Steam door opens a little later.
Our Discord Server Is Live
A new place for pilots to meet. Announcements, clan recruitment, bug reports and chat — all in one server.
Two New Packages: Discount Package and Box Multiplier
The first timed packages have landed in the store. One cuts your Orbidium spending for a month, the other doubles every box you collect for two weeks.
Quest System Overhaul: 302 Quests, Levels 5 to 20
The quest list has been rewritten. There is work at every level now, kill counts are sane, and rewards are consistent. In 15 languages.
HM7 Trade Droid: Sell Without Flying Back
A full cargo hold no longer means abandoning the map. The HM7 Trade Droid opens the raw-material sell panel wherever you are in the galaxy.
AbysOrbit Arrives on Steam August 13
AbysOrbit launches on Steam on August 13, 2026. The game stays free, your account stays the same. The Steam build is not a replacement for the browser - it is a second door in.
