Dec 19, 2025 Star Citizen News & Updates
Roadmap Roundup – December 17, 2025

This week’s Roadmap Roundup keeps the focus on clarity as the dev teams close out the year. You get a quick look at what’s moved, what’s wrapped, and what still needs a little more time in the oven as Star Citizen marches toward future updates and eventual 1.0 readiness.

CIG also reminds you that features appearing in the 1.0 column aren’t waiting for a far‑off milestone — anything ready early can slide into a point patch as soon as it’s shippable.

Notable Changes: December 17, 2025

Release View

4.5.0

All 4.5.0 cards have been marked as Released.

Progress Tracker

A handful of deliverables on the Progress Tracker have updated timelines. As always, a completed task doesn’t instantly translate to a releasable feature; downstream support and further team handoffs may still be required.

  • Crafting → End of March 2026
  • Inventory → End of January 2026
  • Engineering → End of March 2026
