Post Scriptum Rebranded to Squad 44 — What Changed?
Post Scriptum was renamed to Squad 44 in late 2023. This article explains what changed in the game, what stayed the same for server operators, and where to find current documentation.
Post Scriptum Rebranded to Squad 44
In late 2023, Post Scriptum was officially renamed to Squad 44. If you're finding this guide because you searched for "Post Scriptum server," you're in the right place.
What Is Squad 44?
Squad 44 is a WW2 tactical multiplayer shooter set during the 1944–1945 battles for Western Europe. It was developed by Offworld Industries (the same studio behind Squad) on Unreal Engine 4. The gameplay focuses on large-scale combined arms infantry combat across historically accurate maps — Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Ardennes, and more.
The game is the same. Squad 44 is Post Scriptum with a renamed brand and continued development under Offworld Industries after the original developer (Periscope Games) stepped away.
What Changed with the Rename
| Area | Before (Post Scriptum) | After (Squad 44) |
|---|---|---|
| Store page name | Post Scriptum | Squad 44 |
| In-game UI | Post Scriptum branding | Squad 44 branding |
| Development team | Periscope Games | Offworld Industries |
| Community Discord | Post Scriptum discord | Squad 44 discord |
| Development activity | Slowing | Active (new content) |
What Did NOT Change
Critically, for server operators, almost nothing changed:
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| Steam AppID | Still 746200 for dedicated server |
| Server binary name | Still PostScriptumServer |
| Config directory | Still PostScriptum/ServerConfig/ |
| Config file names | Unchanged (Server.cfg, Admins.cfg, MapRotation.cfg, Rcon.cfg) |
| Port numbers | Unchanged (7787, 7788, 27165, 27166, 21114) |
| Admin system | Unchanged (group-based Admins.cfg identical to Squad) |
If your server was running under Post Scriptum and you update the game files, it continues to work without any config changes.
