Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - March 25, 2026
CIG’s March 25, 2026 Roadmap Roundup sets Alpha 4.7 cards to Released, updates 4.8 tentative features, and adds a Star Citizen 1.0 Maelstrom note.
CIG’s latest Roadmap Roundup arrives with a small heads-up and a fairly busy slate behind it. As usual, the team says these biweekly notes are meant to explain why roadmap changes happened, while also reiterating that the Star Citizen 1.0 column covers features planned for inclusion in or before 1.0, with items able to move into earlier point patches once they’re ready.
The immediate headline is that the Alpha 4.7 cards were marked Released ahead of the scheduled LIVE publish later that day. In other words, the paperwork was stamped before the ship cleared the dock — which, by Star Citizen standards, practically counts as restraint.
Notable Changes: March 25, 2026
Alpha 4.7 cards were preemptively marked as Released ahead of the scheduled LIVE publish later that day.
