Long-Running Star Citizen Nears $1 Billion in Crowdfunding — A Wild $153 Million Raised in 2025 Alone
The space sim Star Citizen is on track to set one of the most absurd records in industry history. At its current pace, the game is expected to surpass $1 billion in player funding in 2026, despite still lacking a full release — and without any firm confidence around the launch window for its single-player campaign. -
The developers at Cloud Imperium Games have announced that Squadron 42, the single-player campaign for Star Citizen, is now fully playable from start to finish and offers over 40 hours of gameplay. The release is still slated for 2026. -

As Insider Gaming writes, the studio that developed the long-term project Star Citizen is not doing well again. According to some reports, Cloud Imperium Games fired some of its employees without compensation after overtime. -
The developers of the ambitious long-term project Star Citizen have finally announced the release date of the single-player story mode Squadron 42. The announcement took place during the next Citizencon — although not without some unfortunate incidents.
