TL;DR Summary
Star Citizen has surpassed $1 billion in crowdfunding after 14 years, but Cloud Imperium Games still has no announced release date for version 1.0. The latest Alpha 4.8 update introduces a full economy, persistence reset, refueling contracts and a six‑phase Tactical Strike Group on the Nyx base, with refueling mechanics and new gameplay loops added. Developer Chris Roberts has previously floated 2027–2028 for 1.0 and a 2026 window for Squadron 42, though delays remain possible amid competition like GTA 6.
