Evaluation

Squad is a fully released tactical military FPS that continues to receive regular, substantial content updates with no sign of slowing down. Since late 2025, the game has shipped multiple major updates: the Armed Forces of Ukraine faction in November 2025 (Update 10.0), the brand-new Fireteam 5-player co-op PvE mode in December 2025 (Update 10.1), a comprehensive PLA faction modernization with entirely new weapons and vehicles in February 2026 (Update 10.3), a major infantry gunplay overhaul and Unreal Engine upgrade to UE5.7 in April 2026 (Update 10.4), and most recently a full rework of the suppression system in August 2026 (Update 10.5.2). The most recent developer communication is a dev blog published on August 11, 2026, which explicitly states that the team will "keep iterating" and references an upcoming Update 10.6 planned for September 2026. A roadmap published on May 29, 2026 lays out a broad agenda of future work including anti-air and close air support systems, faction refreshes, a new map (Oskil River), a Companies (Clan) system, an improved Party System, and deeper soldier customization. Cosmetic DLC continues to ship regularly alongside gameplay updates. No developer statement has suggested development is concluding.

About this game

Squad is the embodiment of tactical military action. Compete in massive-scale 50 vs. 50 battles in the most realistic combined-arms first-person shooter. Squad emphasizes combat realism through teamwork, tactics, and authentic warfare. A wide selection of realistic faction-specific weapons and vehicles allow players to build their own loadouts that best suit their preferred tactics. And with Squad’s unique Picture-in-Picture scopes, it’s like you’re really aiming at the enemy through real military-issue scopes.

Featuring 13 factions, 24 massive maps, and a sweeping arsenal of weapons and vehicles, Squad creates a heart-thumping, visceral shooter experience that requires split-second decision-making in intense, realistic firefights.

New in Update 10.1: Fireteam

Fireteam is Squad's new PvE gamemode that has launched with Update 10.1. This up to 5-player co-op PvE mode condenses the game’s most memorable moments into shorter, intense tactical missions. Four missions are available to all Squad players. Those who wish to support the ongoing development of Fireteam can choose to purchase either the Supporter or Founder pack - linked from this page.

Massive 50 vs. 50 Battles

Squad creates authentic combat experiences while pitting conventional and unconventional factions against each other. As part of a 50 person team, join a nine-person squad to face off against opposing factions in intense combat across large real-world environments. Squad features 13 factions from all over the world, including the United States Marine Corps, Australian Defence Force, and Canadian Army among many others.

Ultra-Realistic Infantry Combat

Squad’s combat was designed to provide the most fun, immersive, and authentic infantry experience possible. With Squad’s core tenets of teamwork and tactics, you’ll have to work together to outmaneuver your enemies with realistic Picture-in-Picture scopes and Squad’s unique Suppression system. Work with your squad to overwhelm the enemy and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!

Building & Logistics System

Adapt to the ever-changing needs of the battlefield. By building fortifications and emplacements or supplying your team with ammunition and materials, you can give your squad the edge. Whether it’s placing HMGs and AT guns or fortifying a position with sandbags, razor wire, and some much-needed ammo, the battlefield is yours to change, if you have the courage to do so.

Communication

Solid communication is a soldier's best friend when engaging the enemy. To help facilitate navigating the complexity of communication on the battlefield, Squad provides a world-class in-game VoIP system that allows players to talk to other soldiers locally, in-squad, between squad leaders, or even to the overall team commander. Map tools and in-world markers aid fire team leads and squad leaders to inform their soldiers of on-the-fly engagement tactics.
