This isn’t Cloud Imperium Games’ first free-fly event this year. The developers regularly host these events so everyone can try out the game. In addition to this, CIG uses these opportunities to help bring more attention to Star Citizen by celebrating breakthroughs in the game’s development, honoring community events, and providing interested supporters with an opportunity to experience the game before making their decision. Star Citizen is a multiplayer, first-person shooter game that has been in development since 2011. In that time, Cloud Imperium Games has raised over $460 million from supporters, making it the highest crowdfunded game of all time. Due to its funding model, the game has faced numerous criticisms and legal issues. Unlike most games that carry upfront costs, Star Citizen operates a different pricing model. Players can only participate by buying individual ships. However, once you’ve bought a ship, you can earn others by grinding for in-game currency. The eight ships that Cloud Imperium Games have given fans the opportunity to access have a combined cost of $2,155 and can be accessed at the game’s spaceports. Here are the free eight ships: Despite having been in development for over a decade, there is currently no release date for Star Citizen. Earlier in 2022, we revealed that the game and its spinoff, Squadron 42, are still some years away. Cloud Imperium Games is developing them for PC.
