Happy Monday, everyone!

The PTU for Alpha 4.6 has officially opened to all waves, giving everyone the chance to jump in, explore what’s new, and help put the latest updates through their paces. If you’re gearing up to test, you can catch the full rundown in the Patch Notes right here. As for Crafting, work is steadily progressing on bringing this to the Tech Preview servers, with some limited testing rolling out to Evocati imminently.

On the community front, THE filthiest race in the ’verse is roaring back to life. Tune in to the live broadcast of the Daymar Rally 2956 this Saturday, January 24, where drivers and pilots take on the moon’s unforgiving sands in a test of speed and endurance. Find all event details on the official Daymar Rally page.

And with Daymar Rally kicking up dust, ATMO esports isn’t stopping there. The countdown to Enter ATMOSPHERE 2956 is officially on. This February 21, Sydney becomes the backdrop for a full day of high‑speed action and in‑person celebration of the ANZ community. It’s our first return to Australia in a decade, and we can’t wait to see you there.

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:
