Squadron 42 on Steam
Checked 2026-10-17
The Steam page is real. The download is not. App 4045720 is the page people mean by "squadron 42 steam".
This is the official-store snapshot reviewed on 17 October 2026. It separates publisher-provided store features from community tags, alleged leaks and third-party tracker estimates. The store trailer is The Oath, movie id 257447920.

What I will not invent
The store page lists Steam Achievements as a feature. It does not publish the achievement list. I have no official leak to paste, so this page does not pretend one exists.
Wishlist rank and follower counts are not on the Steam page. Third-party trackers estimate them. I am not copying those estimates as Valve numbers. The page itself went live with The Oath trailer on 10 October 2026, which is the date in the 12 October weekly and the wiki playtest note.
Developers on the page are Cloud Imperium Games Ltd and Cloud Imperium Games Texas LLC. Publishers are Roberts Space Industries International Ltd and Roberts Space Industries LLC.
Questions I keep getting
What is the Squadron 42 Steam app id?
4045720. The store URL is store.steampowered.com/app/4045720/Squadron_42/.
Did achievements leak?
The page says achievements are supported. It does not list them. I am not treating forum screenshots as the list.
