Star Sailors News & Update Timeline
Star Sailors moved from closed beta to a limited soft launch to a full global release in under a year. This page tracks that history as a plain, dated timeline, with each entry marked for how solid the source is. We don't use datamined or leaked information anywhere on this wiki — every entry below traces back to an official storefront listing, an official studio channel, or press coverage of one of those.
September 2025 — Closed Beta Test
Press coverage places a closed beta test for Star Sailors in September 2025. Outlets covering it described early combat around three core classes — Defender, Attacker, and Supporter — a framing not repeated in the game's later, launch-era store listings, so treat that specific split as provisional rather than current.
February 25, 2026 — Soft Launch (US & Indonesia)
Press coverage reports Star Sailors entered a limited soft launch on February 25, 2026, restricted to the US and Indonesia app stores — a roughly four-month run ahead of the wider global release.
February 25–27, 2026 — Soft-Launch Server Crisis & Refund
The soft launch hit trouble almost immediately. Com2uS Holdings' official X account posted three dated notices in the same week: "[Notice] Network Error Issues" (Feb 25, 2026, 02:35 UTC), "2nd Emergency Maintenance Completed" (Feb 25, 2026, 13:22 UTC), and, two days later, "Purchase Payback Due to Network Issues" (Feb 27, 2026, 11:18 UTC) — a 100% diamond refund for purchases affected by the outage.
This is soft-launch-era history, not a current issue: all three posts date to the US/Indonesia test period, roughly four months before the June 30 global launch, and player reviews from that same week (see the app store listings) describe connection drops consistent with the outage. We found no comparable official notice in the days immediately following the June 30 global launch.
June 30, 2026 — Global Launch
Star Sailors launched globally on June 30, 2026, on both the App Store and Google Play, confirmed by both storefront listings. The rollout explicitly includes South Korea, across 8 supported languages, and the game remains free to download on iOS 15+ and Android (Snapdragon 845 / 4GB RAM+) — no Steam or console version exists.
One outlet reported mainland China was excluded from this rollout; that's a single, uncorroborated source, so we flag it as reported rather than confirmed.
Launch Promotion: Guaranteed & Bonus Partners
The App Store's own "What's New" notes (v1.0.19) confirm a launch promotion: new players can recruit 2 guaranteed top-tier Partners plus 16 bonus Partners. The listing doesn't say how it's redeemed (login reward, starter banner, or mail), so we only repeat what's stated. See the Characters hub for the named roster.
A "23 Partners" total also circulates on one community aggregator site, conflicting with the App Store/press figure of 16 at launch (10 free) — we use 16 as our working number. No official gacha rate-disclosure page or pity-system explanation has been published by Panana Studio or Com2uS Holdings; if one appears, it'll be added here.
