We are delighted to announce that pilots across the cluster will be able to join an opt-in open beta for the 64-bit EVE client with the release of the summer expansion for EVE Online. This represents a key modernization moment in the development of EVE Online and is a substantial milestone in CCP's continued investment in the future of New Eden.

With the launch of EVE Online: Invasion, pilots will be able to switch their launcher over to download the 64-bit client for EVE Online if they wish to do so, as we finalize its roll-out toward the summer. Eventually the 64-bit client will become the standard for EVE, replacing older 32-bit architecture. For now, the two will run side by side as we beta test 64-bit clients on Tranquility.
