Stars Reach developers have confirmed that the swimming system is fully implemented and will roll out in the upcoming update, a detail shared during the Fireside Chat livestream focused on the latest universe news.

Player‑crafted water bodies won’t be permanent: without fresh water input they will start to evaporate, with the rate tied to surface area. Water will feature splash and ripple effects, and characters will be able to step in and dive. While fishing isn’t available yet, the team hinted it could be added later.

Stars Reach is a sci‑fi sandbox MMORPG with a single, shard‑free galaxy, thousands of planets, and space zones that persist regardless of player presence. The game lacks classes and gender restrictions, relying on a deep skill tree with horizontal progression and dozens of professions. Players can reshuffle their builds by dropping old skills and learning new ones, and they can transfer consciousness into a clone near friends, playing anywhere from a few minutes to marathon sessions.
