Cloud Imperium Games is giving everyone a chance to dive into Star Citizen for free during their DefenseCon event, which runs until May 27. Both new players and veterans can pilot some amazing ships without spending a dime. Just create an account, download the launcher, and you’ll get a loaner Aurora Mark 2 ship to start your adventure.
This year, the event features 100 flyable ships and comes right after a big update that revamped the game’s economy and added new missions, including a fun refueling challenge. Star Citizen is also closing in on $1 billion in crowdfunding, sparking a lot of buzz about its future. Are you excited to check out Star Citizen during this free play event?
