gamerant.com:

A newly released update for Star Citizen promises to make the in-development sci-fi game even more immersive for players who are enjoying the game's early access. An incredible cinematic accompanying the release details what fans can expect when it comes to improving all the different aspects Star Citizen has to offer players.

The space simulation title being developed by Cloud Imperium Games has already offered many players a new MMO and combat experience that has the potential to be something truly unique. With the promise of making the game even bigger and better, some players have been anticipating new updates to see what developers have done to make the playing experience even better. From a variety of different ships, combat, and unique races and species to play as in Star Citizen, it's clear that Cloud Imperium Games hopes to create a world that can stand on its own against other sci-fi juggernauts, like the highly anticipated Starfield from Bethesda. Thanks to a new update, it appears that Star Citizen may be inching closer toward that goal.

Not only will there be some new environments to explore and new gameplay, but the eagerly awaited Persistent Entity Streaming will officially be implemented in the game.

This fully realized version of Persistent Entity Streaming (PES) that Cloud Imperium Games is putting into the game is the first of its kind, making Star Citizen a pioneer in an incredibly innovative gaming technology.
