The crowdfunding campaign for Star Citizen has surpassed $800 million, a milestone reached 12 years after its Kickstarter campaign was completed. Despite the game still being in its alpha stage, the fundraising continues, with players purchasing access to the alpha and pricey spacecraft bundles.

Star Citizens Crowdfunding Reaches 800 Million Dollars in 2024Image: pinterest.com The Cloud Imperium team managed to raise $100 million in just 11 months, following the $700 million mark reached in May 2024. This impressive sum reflects the ongoing excitement surrounding the game, even as the promised full release continues to elude fans.

Originally slated for a 2014 release, Star Citizen has faced numerous delays due to the developers’ ever-expanding goals. The game’s persistent updates and growing feature set have kept players engaged, but a concrete release date remains elusive.

Cloud Imperium’s CEO, Chris Roberts, stated in March 2024 that the team is working tirelessly to bring the game to its final stages. However, considering the game’s vast scope, many are skeptical that the full release will be ready anytime soon. Meanwhile, Squadron 42, the game’s single-player story mode, is slated to release in 2026, barring any further delays.
