Star Citizen: Free to Play

Star Citizen was FREE TO PLAY: August 15-22, 2024!

A FREE FLY event was recently active during the annual 2954 Ship Showdown competition!  With access to 16 ships to try out, players were able to sample some unique career paths and play styles before casting a vote for their favorites!

A Referral Bonus was ACTIVE! 

Free Fly events are often paired with a referral bonus (usually a set of armor, small ship or hover bike) granted to those who use a referral code to create an account, and then spend $40 USD or more in the pledge store

As part of the recent Foundation Festival event, a limited time referral bonus was active, granting the AOPOA Nox Hoverbike, for FREE ($45 value). 

Note: You must have completed a $40 purchase prior to July 31st, 2024, to receive the latest referral bonus. Referral bonuses are typically granted at the end of the event. 

If you used a referral code and DID NOT receive your referral bonus, please contact Customer Support to have them correct the error.
