Squadron 42 Lands on Steam Wishlists With a Q2 2027 Target

Squadron 42, the single-player campaign set in the same universe as Star Citizen, now has a Steam store page where players can add it to their wishlists. The listing gives fans a simple way to track the game ahead of its planned launch in the second quarter of 2027.

The move is a small but visible step for a project that has been in development for well over a decade. Squadron 42 has long been positioned as the story-driven counterpart to Star Citizen's multiplayer universe, with a focus on a scripted military campaign built around space combat and crewed ship sequences. Wishlisting doesn't cost anything and doesn't commit anyone to a purchase, but it does help Steam notify interested players when the game gets news, updates, or pricing details.

The release window is still a planned target rather than a firm date. Q2 2027 is the developer's current goal, and longtime observers of Star Citizen know that timelines for the franchise have shifted several times over the years. Anyone waiting on the game should treat that window as the current plan, not a guarantee.

For the wider Star Citizen community, the Steam listing is also a signal that the single-player project is moving toward a more conventional storefront presence. Until the game ships, though, players will have to judge its progress through official development updates and trailers rather than playable builds on the store page.
