Star Citizen is Free-to-Play for a Week, Starting Now

For the next week, Star Citizen will be free-to-play, allowing new and existing players to try out the space sim and explore the vast universe.

Experience the Top 16 Ships

Players will get to try out the top 16 ships in the game, which have been selected through the Ship Showdown event. The community has been voting for their favorite ships, and now the final 16 are competing across eight diverse categories.

How the Ship Showdown Works

The community voted for their favorite ships and ground vehicles through various forms of content, including videos, songs, photos, and paintings.

The final 16 ships are competing across eight categories, with the final eight to be selected on 23rd August.

Players will gain free access to all 16 ships for a limited time to try them out before voting.

Rewards for Participants

Players who own the top four ships in-game will receive a limited-edition ship paint and corresponding manufacturer’s poster. The final winning vehicle will receive the ultimate prize, the first official event banner, which can be placed as a decoration in players’ hangars.

If you’re interested in trying out Star Citizen, sign up now and experience the game for yourself.
