About Squad

Squad poster

Squad is a large-scale tactical shooter that pushes the combined-arms FPS toward genuine military realism on PC. Its signature draw is scale: massive 50-versus-50 battles in which conventional and unconventional factions clash across sprawling maps, and where success hinges far more on teamwork, communication, and tactics than on raw reflexes. As part of a 50-person team you slot into a nine-person squad and coordinate every move against the opposing force.

Authenticity runs through the whole design. A wide selection of faction-specific weapons and vehicles lets you assemble loadouts suited to your preferred approach, and the game's unique Picture-in-Picture scopes recreate the feel of aiming through real military-issue optics. With 13 factions, 24 large maps, and a deep arsenal, firefights demand split-second decisions and reward players who think and act as a unit.

Update 10.1 adds Fireteam, a cooperative PvE mode for up to five players that distills the game's most memorable moments into shorter, intense tactical missions. Four missions are open to everyone, while optional Supporter and Founder packs help fund its continued development. Whether you are commanding a squad in enormous PvP battles or running focused co-op operations, Squad aims for a visceral, grounded strategy-shooter experience built around coordination.
