What is the Star Atlas game?
Star Atlas is a space-themed grand strategy MMO Web3 game, built in Unreal Engine 5 and utilising Solana for its blockchain features. The game is available to wishlist on PC via the Epic Games Store, with a test demo available for those with a game key.
Developed by an in-house team, Star Atlas sees players muster a crew and build a fleet of spaceships before embarking on a quest across the stars. Through traversing planets, mining space resources and crafting an array of assets, players forge their own path in this dynamic economy – fighting for control of the galaxy.
The game features an exciting mix of exploration, resource gathering, racing and both land and air combat, giving players a vast array of ways to get involved and make their impact on the stars around them.
The backbone of the Star Atlas economy is built on Solana. Thanks to an eclectic mix of on-chain assets, and a balanced community-driven economy, every resource, trade and alliance has an impact on the ecosystem, opening exciting opportunities for creative players.
$ATLAS is the ecosystem token of Star Atlas. $ATLAS is currently priced at $0.0012 USD, with a market cap of $22.5 million and a fully-diluted valuation of $42.1 million.
What is in the $100,000 Creator Campaign prize pool?
The $100,000 Creator Campaign will be ran by Shaga – a cloud gaming service that operates on top of popular livestreaming platform Twitch. Livestreamers can use Shaga to host lobbies that allow viewers to take over their gameplay live on stream, using an iOS or Android device, in return for rewards.
This opens the door to never-before-seen ways for creators and fans to interact in a livestream environment, and Shaga’s ultra-low latency technology means that not only is setup quick and easy, but gameplay is fluid and the latest titles are just a few taps away.
On top of the $ATLAS and Star Atlas Ship NFT rewards in the $100,000 Creator Campaign, participants can also earn GLOB – the main currency of the Shaga ecosystem. These GLOB points, earned by completing quests and levelling-up your Shaga profile, will be key to earning exclusive rewards in future.
What have we seen from Star Atlas in 2025?
Star Atlas has had a bullish 2025 so far.
In March, Star Atlas unveiled a partnership with SingularityNET to incorporate cutting-edge AI agents into the game. Powered by two emerging AI systems, these AI agents will actively adapt to the world of Star Atlas, bringing contextual tutorials, mission assistance and in-game help to an all-new level.
The team has also made consistent progress against its public roadmap. New features, vehicles and other updates have been pushed at rapid pace, and the Star Atlas community continues to swell as Season 0 approaches – the biggest step so far in creating the team’s vision of “a living galaxy where players don’t just play, but thrive.”
Bullish on web3. Competitive soul.
