Star Citizen’s Elusive Squadron 42 Delayed Another Six Months to Make Sure It Really Avoids GTA 6

Chris Roberts has pushed Squadron 42’s target from late 2026 to Q2 2027.

The developer says the delay will avoid competing with GTA 6’s expected November 2026 launch and its intense media coverage.

Originally planned for 2016, the game’s continued delay is renewing criticism of Star Citizen’s crowdfunding model and development promises.
