Overview
- The Xeno Arena update, which launched Wednesday, adds turn-based pet battles in holo-arenas found in Space Stations and the Nexus.
- Players can capture, train, breed, and genetically modify creatures, with abilities shaped by species and home biome, including rare legendary variants.
- Hello Games calls the feature a full multiplayer path with ranks, leaderboards, daily challenges, and planned seasonal rewards.
- You can build custom arenas, host tournaments, open them to visiting Travellers, and face NPCs or other players at hubs like the Space Anomaly.
- The update is live as a free download on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, with outlets noting 100-plus abilities and a reported tame cap increase to 30 as early players praise the new loop.
