Star Citizen Passes $1 Billion in Funding, Still Stuck in Early Access

Star Citizen has now raised over $1 billion through public funding, making it the most financially successful game still in development. Despite this success, the game has faced criticism for taking a very long time to develop and remaining in early access for years, leading some to call it a scam. However, the developers, Roberts Space Industries and Cloud Imperium Games, aim to release the full 1.0 version of Star Citizen after the 2026 launch of their single-player game, Squadron 42.
