Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.

While we don’t have a Release View update today (which, as a reminder, means things are progressing as planned/displayed on the roadmap), we do want to address the lack of updates to the Progress Tracker. We’re eager to update this view so you can see the extensive tasks our teams are working on.

With the big push to release 4.0 and Squadron 42 reaching its Feature Complete milestone, our resources have had to shift around as new needs arise at an increased frequency than in the past. This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker. The team is working to push Squadron 42 toward the finish line while balancing this with ensuring Star Citizen receives new features, content, and updates. At this stage of development, especially with such a big focus on Squadron 42 polish, developers or even entire teams may need to shift focus quickly when necessary work presents itself. This dynamic approach is different from our usual internal flow and has required a bit more flexibility and nimble nature.

Despite this, our production team has a plan to update the Progress Tracker very soon. They are currently working on populating the Roadmap to better represent our global workload, starting with content being worked on through the end of 2024, and then, soon after, into 2025. Once the update to Progress Tracker is ready, we’ll mention it ahead of time in the This Week In Star Citizen schedule post preceding the publish. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. It’s an exciting time for both games, and we look forward to sharing more details with you soon.
