⏱ 13 min video · 3 min read10 Jun 2026
TL;DR
BoredGamer covers Star Citizen's June 2026 alien-themed content drop including a new Xi'an Jikara armor bundle, upcoming Alien Week details, the Gatac Railen becoming flyable, ongoing Alpha 4.8.1 server issues, and a summary of Cloud Imperium Games' 2024 financial statement showing a reduced annual loss and surging crowdfunding revenue.
Key points
1
The June monthly bundle includes the Xi'an-inspired Jikara armor set, Ultraflex Novarian crossbow, and Jikara paint for the Gatac Sulan — notably the crossbow is otherwise only available via Tactical Strike Group blueprints.
2
Alien Week starts properly on 17 June 2026 with Alpha 4.8.2 expected, the Gatac Railen becoming flyable (price likely rising from ~$225 to ~$300), new alien missions, and a behind-the-ships look at the Railen on 12 June.
3
Alpha 4.8.1 is causing widespread service disruptions including infinite loading screens, login failures, and broken player inventories — described as the most unstable patch since Alpha 3.18 in 2023.
4
CIG's 2024 financial statement shows total income roughly flat year-on-year, subscriptions up 14% to $7.3M, other income (tax credits, Turbulent contracts) up 34% to $23M, annual loss reduced from ~$20M in 2023 to ~$14M in 2024, with ~$27M cash remaining at year end.
5
Star Citizen crowdfunding has surged dramatically: ~$147M in 2024, ~$200M in 2025, and BoredGamer projects ~$230M for 2026, with Squadron 42 currently unavailable to purchase ahead of an anticipated major advertising campaign.
Key updates
→
If you want the Gatac Railen, buy before Alien Week starts on 17 June — it is expected to increase in price by 25-30% once it becomes flyable.
→
The Novarian crossbow in the June bundle is a rare item otherwise only obtainable via Tactical Strike Group blueprints, making the bundle high value for players who want it.
→
CIG's finances show a business trending toward sustainability — reduced losses, diversified income via Turbulent, and exponentially growing crowdfunding revenue suggest the studio is on a stronger footing heading into Squadron 42's eventual release.
Notable quotes
“You can be a middle-aged mutant ninja turtle running around in Star Citizen with a crossbow. I mean, what more do you want?”
“Star Citizen's funding has gone super parabolic... In 2024 they made 147ish million. In 2025 that was closer to 200 million. And then in 2026 it looks like by the end of the year they will probably hit around 230 million.”
“Alpha 4.8.x continues to be the most unstable patch in recent memory.”
