End of UAT Testing - Road to Release

Hello, squaddies,

Today marks the end of UAT testing. We want to take this time to thank all of you who joined in the UAT sessions and helped to test out the next update.

A massive thanks are also due to the community server hosts who helped provide servers for the testing sessions and organized dedicated sessions.

Join us on Wednesday, 23rd September, when Squad will be moving to a 1.0 release with the Middle Eastern Alliance faction, our stunning new map, Fallujah and, 50v50 servers.

It’s been a long journey, but it’s not over yet. We still have plenty more plans for Squad and the future.

Thank you again to our superb, dedicated, and passionate community. You made this possible.

Upcoming Sale & New Pricing Information

Greetings Squaddies and Would-Be-Squaddies

We have a lot of news to share!

Starting September 23rd, to coincide with our latest content update, Squad will be 25% off!

For a limited time, we are giving friends, family, and newcomers the opportunity to purchase Squad at a discount to celebrate our new Fallujah map, Middle-Eastern Alliance faction, and 50v50 update. This Special Squad Sale will end on September 28th.

So if you, or someone you know, is interested in purchasing one of the year’s most adrenaline-pumping games, now is the time to download and join over 2.0M players on the battlefield!

After September 28th, Squad will be returning to its regular $39.99* price point.

Over the many years that Squad has been carefully and lovingly developed, we have continued to add new content and new features - all designed to expand and enhance the overall game experience. As a result, Squad will be receiving a permanent price increase to $49.99* on October 7th. This price increase reflects the new factions, vehicles, maps, and gameplay improvements. The team also has a ton of new content planned well into 2021 and beyond, that we are excited to bring to life. This price increase will not impact those that have already purchased Squad, and we wanted to ensure we were providing lots of advance notice for anyone that may not yet have bought Squad.

So if you have friends or family that have heard all about how fantastic Squad is, make sure that they take advantage of the upcoming 25% discount before the price goes up permanently!

We are incredibly thankful for all of the support and enthusiasm we have received from our community. We look forward to many years of bringing exciting gameplay and fresh new content in Squad!

An Update on Kickstarter Rewards

Greetings Airborne and Ranger Founder Squaddies!

As you all know, we have been laser-focused on the development of Squad itself. If you haven’t been checking out our development blog, it’s worth taking a read - from new announcements to in-depth game design discussions, there have been a lot of fantastic posts going up lately and a lot of great new content planned for the game.

That said, we wanted to take a quick moment to update you on the Kickstarter rewards, both digital and physical, so strap in.



We are pleased to share that we have almost completed production on all of the physical rewards! So much has changed in Squad and we wanted to make sure the map booklets you receive reflect these changes - while we had already made them up, we are now in the process of reprinting them as a result. With COVID impacting businesses worldwide, this is impacting both the production of items as well as our team safely accessing the offices in order to start packaging things up. In addition to new map booklets, we are also working on getting an embroidered patch made up as a bonus, and thank you for your patience!

We apologize for the delay and look forward to sending physical items out as soon as we can! Please keep an eye on your inboxes for information in the coming month or so that we can request your updated mailing address information.

For those still waiting on the digital rewards, your Steam Inventory Weapon skins should be accessible in the Squad update hitting Steam on September 23rd.

To view and enable your Founder’s Weapon Skins, while In-Game, Go to Settings Menu -> Steam Inventory to view your weapon skins and enable/disable them in the menu. This menu will also allow you to enable and disable your Squad founder’s uniform patch. If anyone encounters any technical issues with this feature once it’s live, we ask that you contact us via the support button on joinsquad.com and then clicking ‘submit a request’ in the top right corner.

Last but not least, if you were part of the Company Clan Backer level, we will be contacting you or your Company Clan Leader within the next month with information about how to get your clan’s uniform patch up and running in Squad. All Company Clan Leader backers will initially have a “Squad Legion” Company Clan uniform patch to showcase that they were a Company Clan backer. Once your Company Clan Leader has received and responded to our information request, you will be able to enable and disable your clan patch in the same In-Game Settings Menu -> Steam Inventory.

Thank you so much for your support and patience.
