Star Citizen's long-awaited single-player companion, Squadron 42, is now available to wishlist on Steam ahead of its planned Q2 2027 release. For fans of the Star Citizen project, which has been in development for well over a decade, its appearance on Steam with a real launch window is a small but hopefully concrete sign of progress.

Cloud Imperium began crowdfunding Star Citizen all the way back in 2012, when the studio pitched both a persistent online universe and a cinematic single-player campaign in the spirit of creator Chris Roberts' Wing Commander games. Squadron 42 has since gone through years of shifting targets, including the famous 2016 "Answer the Call" campaign, before Cloud Imperium eventually declared the game feature complete in 2023 and moved into polishing. Roberts later targeted 2026, only for the game to slip again into 2027.

Star Citizen gives players access to a range of fighter ships. This guide will help players decide which one to purchase based on a few factors.

Cloud Imperium Games has now opened an official Steam page for Squadron 42 , with both the studio and storefront listing pointing toward a Q2 2027 launch and fans are able to wishlist the game now. The listing includes new screenshots, achievements, cloud saves, and controller support, while the minimum specifications currently call for 16GB of RAM, 8GB of VRAM, and 150GB of storage. Cloud Imperium describes the upcoming sci-fi adventure as casting players as a rookie UEE Navy recruit caught in a sprawling galactic war, mixing space combat, first-person ground missions, stealth, exploration, and "cinematic" sequences over a decade in the making.
