Squadron 42 Launch Slips to Spring 2027, Developer Blames GTA 6 Hype

Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts announced that Squadron 42 will now launch in Q2 2027, moving from its previously targeted 2026 window. He explained that the game would be overshadowed by GTA 6's release this fall, so they chose to avoid that period. The single-player title has been in development for over a decade and features a star-studded cast.
