In the upcoming Star Citizen update 3.22.1, there will be a mini-wipe where items such as Med pens, ammo rentals, and Refinery drops will be lost. The update includes bug fixes, such as ensuring in-game purchased ships save to the long-term persistent database after insurance claims. The overdrive Mission set is being tested as a Prelude to the Xeno threat main Dynamic event, offering additional missions like heists, bounty hunting, and more.
The 3.22.1 patch brings a significant amount of content for arena Commander, including combat balances, AI behavior changes, and new ships like the p-52 Gladius, Buccaneer, and more. In the persistent universe, the update introduces the overdrive initiative series of Xeno threat missions and potentially new content with the RIS. A new launcher for Star Citizen is in development, featuring drop-down menus for RSI status and access to useful information and news.
Cloud Imperium Games has relaxed the NDA restrictions for evocardi testers, allowing public discussion of patch notes while still restricting visual disclosures like images and videos. Dev responses indicate that atmospheric flight updates and new Quantum travel mechanics are not part of the upcoming 3.23 update. Players can apply skins to in-game purchased vehicles with Alpha UEC, and ships like the Cutlass Red and Blue will receive tractor beams in the future.

The event is likely to take place in Manchester, UK, potentially over two days. The community is encouraged to participate in discussions and share their thoughts on the game’s developments.
