Squadron 42, the single-player space adventure from Cloud Imperium Games, now has a Steam store page. The page lists Q2 2027 as the release window and marks the title as coming soon, with no price listed yet. It went live on October 10, 2026 under app ID 4045720, and users can add the game to their wishlist. Steam lists the title under the Action, Adventure, and Simulation genres.
What the Game Is
The official description reads, “Enlist in the UEE Navy in a cinematic, single-player space adventure. Pilot combat ships, fight on foot, and explore capital ships, space stations, and frontier outposts. Live and work alongside your crew as you battle on the front lines of a galactic war.”
The page names Cloud Imperium Games as the developer and Roberts Space Industries as the publisher. It casts the player as a rookie in the UEE Navy at the center of a cinematic single-player story brought to life by an all-star cast. The player lives, works, and fights alongside their crew. The story unfolds across fighter cockpits, capital ships, space stations, frontier outposts, and the front lines of a galactic war. Through combat, sacrifice, and the choices made when it matters most, the player earns their place, rank, and legacy. The page closes with the line, “You don’t watch the rise of a hero. You become one.”
Squadron 42 is the single-player companion to Star Citizen, the crowdfunded space simulation that GamerHeadlines reported surpassed $1 billion in funding earlier this year.
