• You don't need to check the "Receive the latest news and updates about Star Citizen and Squadron 42 via email." box. It's optional! 
  • If you enable this option, then you will get weekly update emails for Star Citizen events and special messages for sales, free fly events, major update releases, and other new content!

• Finally, click the "Enlist Now" button to complete the set up process and create your Star Citizen account.

A Star Citizen referral code is a code that you can use when you first set up an account for Star Citizen, and using a referral code gives you bonus Star Citizen game credits for free. Star Citizen calls these game credits United Earth Credits, so you'll usually see the term abbreviated as UEC. Using a Star Citizen referral code gives you 50000 UEC for free!

The Star Citizen referral program is officially supported by the Star Citizen developers and is available at all times; however, you can only use a Star Citizen referral code within the first 24 hours of when you set up a Star Citizen account, so don't forget it!

Star Citizen is not available in online game stores like Steam or Epic. You must create an account with the Star Citizen developers, Cloud Imperium Games, to purchase and play Star Citizen. 

The most important reason is the 50000 FREE STAR CITIZEN CREDITS!

Using a referral code is the only way to receive the bonus 50000 Star Citizen game credits (UEC) for free. These credits will be available to you on Day 1 when Star Citizen is released, and you can use them to buy anything in Star Citizen.

While Star Citizen continues to be under development, "citizens", the Star Citizen term for players, are provided a stipend of 20000 "alpha UEC" when they start playing; however, you will not be able to use these alpha UEC when Star Citizen development ends and the Star Citizen is released.

In addition to the free bonus credits, there are occasionally special referral bonus periods where you can receive a small ship or vehicle you spend your first $40 at the RSI pledge store on a game package or ship during the special referral bonus period. Our Pick a Starter Ship page has the details on when a special referral bonus period is currently active.

No, it does not cost anything to set up an account for Star Citizen.

Though there is no cost for setting up an account for Star Citizen, you will need to purchase a starter package to be able to play Star Citizen whenever a free fly is not active!

Setting up a Star Citizen account is the first step to being able to play Star Citizen, but it is not the only step you need to take. 

If a Star Citizen free fly is not available, or if you want to play Star Citizen beyond the free fly, then you need to purchase a Star Citizen starting package to be able to play! If you need to purchase a game package, then check out our recommendations for the best starter ships and the steps you need to take to buy a Star Citizen starter package on our Pick a Starter Ship page.

If a Star Citizen free fly promotion is ongoing, then you can use that to play Star Citizen for free during the promotion period. Once the Star Citizen free fly ends, you will not be able to play Star Citizen, but your progress will be saved (unless there is a wipe!) If you set up a Star Citizen account to participate a free fly event, then check out our How to Join a Free Fly page to learn how to access the Star Citizen free fly.

If the Star Citizen referral code worked, then you will see a balance of 50000 UEC in your Star Citizen account. To check if the Star Citizen referral code worked when you enlisted, you can check your UEC balance by following the directions below:

• You need to leave this website and go to the official Roberts Space Industries website to check your UEC balance. Click the link below (or copy and paste it into a new browser window) to go to the official Roberts Space Industries website:
  • https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/billing
• Scroll down to the "Credits" section
• Your UEC balance will be shown in yellow
• If your balance is 50000 UEC, then the code worked!
