Star Citizen: Free to Play

Star Citizen Is Free to Play Until December 3rd, 2025!

Play Star Citizen for FREE and test fly 175 ships and vehicles right now! Preparing for a Free Fly event is easy - simply create an account to instantly receive 50k in-game credits and follow the steps below.

If you've created an account in the past, but have not made any purchases, I recommend creating a brand new account.

If you've not yet purchased the game, make a new account and take advantage of this improved offer.

Important Note: A bonus referral reward will be available during IAE!
