From 1995 to Today — SubSpace’s 30th Anniversary with $20,000 in Prizes
In 1995, SubSpace launched into the world as one of the very first online multiplayer games. Thirty years later, our community is still flying strong — and this season, we’re celebrating in the biggest way yet.
Two of our most active zones are hosting major Draft Leagues, each with a $10,000 prize pool. That’s $20,000 total up for grabs, plus weeks of competition, nostalgia, and new memories to be made.

🏒 Hockey Zone — A Special Shoutout
Hockey Zone is also thriving with three leagues running right now:
RSHL: the flagship league with 25+ years of history. Currently in the final stretch of its playoffs, after a 7-team regular season.
MSHL: the beginner-friendly league, now in Season 10 with 6 teams fighting for 4 playoff spots.
HDBL: a fun, zone-wide draft with 8 teams competing midway through the season — casual, social, and great for meeting new players.
Hockey Zone leagues show how deep SubSpace tradition runs, and they deserve recognition during our 30th anniversary celebration.
