STALCRAFT: X Pushes Coliseum Ranked Start to August 12
EXBO said the extra time will support bug fixes and further work aimed at making top-leaderboard competition fairer.
STALCRAFT: X has postponed the start of the Coliseum ranked season, with the leaderboard now scheduled to arrive on August 12. EXBO shared the new timing in a Steam announcement about the mode’s rating system.
The team said it has continued working on bug fixes since Coliseum launched. That work will continue before ranked competition begins, giving the developers more time to refine the mode.
Why the Coliseum rating is delayed
EXBO’s stated goal is to make competition at the top of the leaderboard as fair and comfortable as possible. The announcement did not provide a new set of changes or a detailed list of remaining issues, but it confirmed that polishing Coliseum is taking priority over starting the ranked season immediately.
The delay follows a recent Coliseum update that changed matchmaking and class balance in the NA, NEA, and SEA regions. That patch also added more statistics for the mode and adjusted several related systems.
When will the Coliseum leaderboard begin?
The Coliseum leaderboard is scheduled for August 12, 2026. No launch time was provided, so players will need to wait for more information about when the rating season becomes available.
