History

The studio emerges from StarCitizen:Turbulent, which is better known for its technological solutions than for video games and which was acquired by CIG in 2023
Everything Turbulent did that is related to video games had to be supported by a strong brand that was immediately associated with that gaming identity, this motivated to rename part of the company.<ref name=":5">Cloud Imperium Games – Behind the Scenes of Star Citizen, lebetatesteur.ca, September 5, 2025</ref> In August 2025, part of Turbulent became a creative agency retaining the Turbulent name, which is still very strong in the web world, while the section of Turbulent dedicated to the video game development of Star Citizen and Squadron 2 becomes StarCitizen:Cloud Imperium Games Montréal.<ref name=":0">Deux entités, deux missions, une passion commune, linkedin post, 28 August 2025</ref><ref>Turbulent rejoint Cloud Imperium Games, Benoit et Marc, Medium.com, 2023-07-13</ref><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name=":5" /><ref>Deux entités, deux missions, une passion commune, linkedin post, 28 August 2025</ref><ref>Le studio web Turbulent devient Cloud Imperium Games Montréal, lapresse.ca, 23rd August 2025</ref>
CIG Montreal and Turbulent also use different logos. Branding the video game development pole with the CIG name which is known as a gaming company is to help distinguish the gaming development pole from the technological solutions Turbulent is known for, and thus is to help attract and recruit gamedevs.<ref name=":1">Le studio web Turbulent devient Cloud Imperium Games Montréal, lapresse.ca, 22 août 2025</ref>
As of 2025, CIG montreal seeks to number 150 employees: UI, UX, 3D developers who work on StarCitizen:ships, characters, environments, but there is also have a constant demand for programming.
