Star Citizenis free from now until February 5th, allowing all players to experience the highly-anticipated space simulator without paying so much as a penny.
If you’ve ever been curious aboutStar Citizenbut wanted to try before you buy, now may be your best opportunity. Cloud Imperium Games' latest project is available to download and play for free until February 5th, allowing players to experience parts of the multi-genre space simulator without having to shell out the cash.
According to theRoberts Space Industrieswebsite, the company has enabled Free Fly on all accounts, allowing any player to jump straight into the action today. The Free Fly event gives everyone access to three unique parts of theStar Citizenexperience:
People looking to get started with their free trial must simply register for an account on the website, or log into their current account. All Free Fly accounts will have access to three different ship types: the Hornet F7C military fighter, the Aurora LN starter and the Mustang Delta interceptor. According to the developers, this is the first Free Fly session that includes Crusader, meaning that there’s more to explore than ever.
Star Citizenhas been highly anticipated ever since it became themost successfully crowd-funded project3 years ago. Today, the space simulator has reached over$100 million in funding, obliterating its original goals and securing the game’s world record placement.
This trial period may help introduce a range of new players to the game, allowing those who weren’t willing to buy one ofStar Citizen’s pricey packages a chance to experience the open-world gameplay. Not everyone is turning up their noses at the game’s cost however, with one player known as Ozy311 confessing that he hadspent $30,000 onStar Citizenso far and intends to spend more in the future.
Star Citizen‘s full release is expected sometime in 2016 for PC and Linux, with Oculus Rift support.
