Hi everyone,

The team is hard at work on our upcoming major milestones, and energy is high as we push forward. Squadron 42 is progressing well as we work toward next year’s release, and across Star Citizen our focus remains on delivering meaningful, measurable improvements and fresh content with every patch.

With that in mind, we’re doing things a little differently this year.

While there won’t be a traditional in-person CitizenCon in 2025, we’re thrilled to introduce CitizenCon Direct—a special digital showcase that brings the excitement straight to you. This year’s format helps us keep the momentum going while still giving the community something truly special to look forward to.

Mark your calendars for October 11—you can expect plenty of reveals, exciting surprises, and a fun way for many of you to take part in the festivities alongside CIG developers, no matter where you are in the world.

Let’s just say… while it’s a digital event, that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing many of you in person at Bar Citizen watch parties around the globe. More details to come soon.

We’re incredibly grateful to connect with many of you throughout the Bar Citizen World Tour, and as mentioned above, we’ll still be celebrating together during watch parties around the globe on October 11 - more on that later!
