It makes you dream, it intrigues, sometimes it exasperates… but for ten years, Star Citizen fascinates science fiction fans. This massively multiplayer online game, in continuous development since 2013, offers a space experience on a scale never before seen. And for a very limited time, it is free on PC until December 3, 2025.
Developed by Cloud Imperium GamesStar Citizen is often compared to Mass Effect Or Starfieldbut pushes galactic exploration even further, with hundreds of ships, entire planets to explore and stunning technical realism. Normal, when we know that the project has already raised almost 900 million dollars since its crowdfunding campaign.
A Dantesque science fiction RPG… finally accessible
Normally, playing Star Citizen requires purchasing a starter pack, the prices of which range from 70 to more than 1000 eurosdepending on the ships included. This barrier of entry makes this game an enigma for many curious but hesitant players.
Thanks to thefree trial launched at Intergalactic Aerospace Expoit is now possible to freely test the game universe, with nearly 200 accessible vesselsuntil Wednesday December 3, 2025. And that’s not all: the Saturday November 29the four finalist ships of the community competition Ship Showdown will also be available for free testing.
To access it, simply download the official Star Citizen launcher from the game website. Be careful though: a high-performance PC is requiredbecause the game remains in alpha phase and requires a lot of material resources.
Why try Star Citizen now?
Even though it is still in development, Star Citizen already offers impressive content: commerce, space combat, planetary exploration, missions, roleplay… All in a persistent world shared between thousands of players.
If you were seduced by the galactic atmosphere of Starfield or the interstellar stories of Mass Effect, this temporary offer is a ideal entry point into one of the craziest video game projects of recent years. But be careful: free access will end on December 3 at midnight. Then you will have to go back to checkout.
