Play Star Citizen for FREE This Week

If you want to play Star Citizen and haven’t paid up to jump on board or never taken part in a previous free fly event now is your chance.

Finally a bug fix focussed patch for Star Citizen Alpha 2.1 was released on Friday. These include the Star Citizen Alpha 2.1.2, Arena Commander, and Social Module. So all you have to do is sign-up and you can give Star Citizen a go.

Discounting moderates, when it comes to Star Citizen, there are two camps. Cloud Imperium Games announced over the weekend this week, the current Alpha build will be free for anyone that would like to try it. Featuring multiple space stations and environments, scripted missions, places to explore and more, Alpha 2.1.2 is your first look at a much larger universe! This module contains the solo flying matches that pit players against each other in thrilling dog-fighting ship combat and flight mechanics sequences.

In Arena Commander mode, you’ll be taking on human opponents or an AI swarm in a single seat fighter.

The studio dubs this free-to-play preview “Free Fly” and is now enabled for anyone with a registered account on the site.

This latest Free Fly event will demonstrate a lot of the polish and additions made to Star Citizen since the last even. Today, the space simulator has reached over 0 million in funding, obliterating its original goals and securing the game’s world record placement. Not everyone is turning up their noses at the game’s cost however, with one player known as Ozy311 confessing that he had spent $30,000 on Star Citizen so far and intends to spend more in the future. Moving on… Star Citizen has become a crowd-funded behemoth, with people spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on (admittedly quite sleek) virtual ships, and now, after three years of development, Star Citizen is starting to resembles pieces of something that might, in due time, actually be a game.
