STALCRAFT: X Starts Its Coliseum Ranking Season With New Rewards
The two-week season runs from August 12 to 26, with regional access requirements, limited ranked hours, and a 20-game calibration period.
STALCRAFT: X has started its Coliseum ranking season on August 12, giving players two weeks to climb through the leagues, earn season rewards, and chase a place in Horizon. EXBO detailed the changes in its official Steam patch notes.
Ranked Mode requires Level 7 North faction reputation in the RU and EU regions, while players in NA, SEA, and NEA need Level 3. The first 20 matches serve as calibration games, and ranked matchmaking is available only during specific regional windows. The launch follows the earlier Coliseum patch, which addressed matchmaking and class balance problems.
The update also adds league rewards, a Coliseum shop, Double Rating Tokens, new achievements, and the PT-9 Psychoscopic Terminal. It includes smaller fixes for weapons, lighting, ally tags, revives, and movement through map textures. EXBO also confirmed compensation for players who completed at least 10 Faction Race triumphs before the event ended on August 6.
Patch Notes: STALCRAFT: X [12.08.2026]
Overview: The update starts the Coliseum ranking season, adds rewards and shop items, introduces new achievements, and delivers several fixes across the game.
Start of the Coliseum rankings
The ranking has begun, so gather your best gear and prove who the true master is here by claiming what rightfully belongs to you. Get ready for battle, and good luck in the arena!
Rating system
The Coliseum’s ranking season will run from August 12 to 26 — exactly two weeks.
To access Ranked Mode on RU and EU regions, you must have Level 7 of North faction reputation.
To access Ranked Mode on NA, SEA, and NEA regions, you must have Level 3 of North faction reputation.
The first time you enter ranked mode, you’ll need to complete a 20-game calibration period. No rewards are awarded for matches played during calibration. Based on the results, a ranking will be determined and the corresponding league will be assigned.
Each league has a fixed rating threshold that must be reached. Raise your ranking to move up to higher leagues, and don’t stop there!
You can only lose the league you’ve reached by losing games. If you decide to stop at your current rank and stop participating in ranked matches, you’ll keep your rank — it won’t drop over time.
Horizon stands apart — it’s the top league of the Coliseum. A limited number of players with the highest rankings at the end of the season will qualify for it.
Rating availability
The rankings will be available during limited time windows due to low online traffic in the regions. This solution will help you find matches more reliably and quickly.
Ranked mode will be available during the following time periods:
- EU (UTC+1): 14:00–22:00
- NA (UTC−4): 18:00–20:00, 22:00-02:00
- SEA (UTC+8): 21:30–01:30
- NEA (UTC+9): 21:30–01:30
We’ll keep an eye on your feedback and will adjust the ranked availability windows if needed. The current schedule was designed to avoid overlapping with Subdivision Battles.
League rewards
Separate rewards are awarded at the end of the season in each league. The higher the league, the more valuable the prize.

Faction Race results
Unfortunately, this year we were unable to fully foster a competitive spirit during the Faction Race. We’re taking players’ feedback into account and will do everything we can to ensure that next year’s Faction Race goes as smoothly as possible and that the competition is intense and exciting.
We’ll be working hard to fix the problems, but as an apology for this year, we’ll award the Triumphator motif not only to the winning faction, but also to everyone who participated and completed at least 10 triumphs by the time the event ended — August 6 at 1:00 a.m. (UTC).
Thank you for participating! Triumphator motif will be sent to your mail shortly.
