Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - June 3, 2026
CIG’s June 3, 2026 Roadmap Roundup sets Space Combat Missions - Defend Location to Released for Alpha 4.8 and marks several Alpha 4.9 cards as Tentative.
CIG’s June 3 Roadmap Roundup brings another fortnightly look at what has shifted on the Star Citizen Release View, giving you a clear read on which cards are moving toward the landing pad and which are still circling in the traffic pattern.
CIG also reiterated how the 1.0 column works: it represents features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. That means you may see some of those items arrive before the full 1.0 release, as ready features move left into a point patch column. Sensible enough, which is suspiciously rare in aerospace logistics.
Notable Changes: June 3, 2026
