Squadron 42 price
Checked 2026-10-17
There is no official price. Anything with a dollar sign attached to Squadron 42 today is either an old pledge, a different product, or a guess.
The official-source snapshot dated 17 October 2026 has no Squadron 42 retail price. Star Citizen package prices belong to a different product. Historical pledges, reseller offers and predictions are not an official campaign launch price.
Three grades of price talk
| Grade | What it is | What I will say |
|---|---|---|
| Official, current | Steam and the RSI shelf | Not announced. Not for sale. |
| Official, other product | First Flight Pack | $60 / $45 is Star Citizen, not SQ42 |
| History | Older pledges that included the game | Check Games Library. See the backers page |
| Grey market | Resold pledges | Not a source I recommend or link |
Why a leak number is not on this page
The chairman letter of 27 August 2026 says a specific release date would follow the October playtest. It does not name a price or a price date. I am not promoting a forum figure into that blank.
Ship prices in the pledge store, including capital ships, are Star Citizen hull prices. They are not a Squadron 42 box price. The Javelin page on the wiki is a ship sale, and I am not using it as the campaign price.
Questions I keep getting
How much does Squadron 42 cost?
No official price was published as of 17 October 2026. Steam price_overview was null.
Is the $45 pack Squadron 42?
No. That sale price is the Star Citizen First Flight Pack on the RSI game-packages page.
