Currently, you can try out Star Citizen for free as part of the “Free Fly” event. The initiative helps developers identify and fix bugs from the last update more quickly.
Star Citizen is a space simulation that is currently in the Alpha phase. The game combines exploration with combat and multiplayer elements.
At the moment, the so-called “Free Fly” event is underway in the game, which allows you to play for free for a week – while helping developers improve Star Citizen at the same time.
Here you can see a trailer for Star Citizen:
This is how you can play Star Citizen for free
How long is Star Citizen free? The event runs from April 13 to April 20, 2023. During this time, you can download the game for free and test it until the end of the promotion.
To do this, you need to sign up or log in on the official Star Citizen website, enter the Free Fly code GETINTOTHEVERSE, and download the game.
In addition, the starter packages are currently on special offer with a 10% and 25% discount. The offers are available until May 2.
Why is this promotion happening? The major Patch 3.18 caused quite a few issues. It was supposed to be a huge update with many new contents that should enrich Star Citizen. Instead, it brought many problems and bugs.
There has already been Patch 3.18.1 to fix some issues from the last update. However, the developers are still working to resolve the problems in the game. The free promotion is also intended to help with this effort.
A developer writes in the announcement for the Free Fly event that they want to test the infrastructure of Star Citizen together with the players. The more players, the more data they would have to find and fix the problems.
Furthermore, the free offer aims to give everyone a chance to try out the latest content.
