In an industry-defining move, Star Atlas and MetaGravity have announced a partnership to revolutionize the gaming experience by introducing a game capable of hosting over 30,000 concurrent players in a single, shared environment. This groundbreaking initiative marks a major step towards the creation of a truly immersive metaverse.

Leveraging the innovative technology of MetaGravity, Star Atlas plans to set a new precedent in the gaming industry by launching the world's first super-massive game. This game will feature an unparalleled number of concurrent players, non-player characters (NPCs), and interactive objects in a single persistent environment. This revolutionary feature is slated to become a permanent part of the Star Atlas game following an upcoming update on the Epic Game Store. The previous update brought a new ground racing feature, nearly complete flyable ships, a Testflight feature, and a new Photographer Career, among other surprises.

This collaboration between Star Atlas and MetaGravity's team of network engineers and Unreal developers has already hit a significant milestone. The team successfully ran a stress test featuring 5,000 players in a persistent, non-instanced environment, which was demonstrated at the Solana PlayGG Game Festival in San Diego.

Traditionally, game engine simulations have been limited by scale, with most systems struggling to support more than a hundred concurrent players. However, Star Atlas and MetaGravity are set to shatter these limitations, pushing the concurrent player ceiling to beyond 30,000.

Star Atlas is dedicated to creating the best next-gen player experience and setting new standards for the gaming industry. With MetaGravity as our partner, we are excited to bring our vision of a high-fidelity, persistent metaverse to life. We believe that in a thriving ecosystem that mirrors a real-world economy, a single, persistent reality for all players is indispensable.

MetaGravity's robust, cost-effective infrastructure solution is expected to support tens of thousands of players in a single simulation, seamlessly integrating with Unreal UE5. This integration will enable the Star Atlas developers to deploy a high-performance game onto MetaGravity's infrastructure with ease.

MetaGravity is focused on tackling the challenges faced by the gaming industry. We are united with Star Atlas in our vision to revolutionize gameplay and player experience in digital worlds. Our cutting-edge infrastructure solution will overcome limitations in performance and scale, helping Star Atlas raise the bar in game development.
