Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - July 15, 2026

CIG’s July 15, 2026 Roadmap Roundup updates Star Citizen Alpha 4.9 and Alpha 4.10 cards, including released items, Tentative cards, and the Nine Tails Armor Update move.

Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - July 15, 2026

CIG’s July 15 Roadmap Roundup brings the usual fortnightly pass over Star Citizen’s Release View, with Alpha 4.9 moving toward live-server finality and a trio of Alpha 4.10 items marked Tentative. It is less fireworks factory, more hangar clipboard — but in the ‘verse, that clipboard still decides what gets bolted onto your ship next.

As a reminder from CIG, the 1.0 column showcases features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. That means you may not have to wait for the 1.0 release to experience them. As features/content in the 1.0 column become ready, they will migrate left into a point patch column for release.

Notable Changes: July 15, 2026
