Star Citizen Has Raised $1 Billion, Remains In Early Access After Nine Years

Star Citizen has crossed $1 billion in crowdfunding from more than 6.5 million backers since its 2012 Kickstarter launch.

Despite that milestone, the game remains in alpha nearly nine years after entering early access.

Cloud Imperium Games says Squadron 42 is in its final stages, but no release date has been set.
