Cloud Imperium Games invited curious spacefarers to try out Star Citizen for free last week through its “2018 Free Flight Event,” and the trial has evidently been very successful: the game’s crowdfunding campaign managed to increase by over $7M in just nine days, suggesting a substantial rise in both citizens and general interest in the alpha-stage title. Roberts is celebrating by discounting all Anniversary 2018 Game Packages ("which include a ship, the game itself, and 72 months of insurance for the ship") by $10.
Basically, each of those packages lets you get into the current alpha and play the game when it launches. The one caveat is that they only include access to the persistent universe, while the single-player campaign Squadron 42 has to be purchased separately or as part of a Combo Package. The Free Fly Event and the release of alpha 3.3.5 with the first full-fledged planet have certainly proved to be a strong driver for Star Citizen’s crowdfunding campaign. Over seven million dollars have been pledged in nine days, bringing the total tally to $207,980,408 and 2,182,729 registered users.
