Get Started With A Star Citizen Free Fly
A Star Citizen Free Fly Is Not Available Right Now
A Star Citizen Free Fly is currently not available. In an unprecedented move, the Star Citizen developers cancelled the Star Citizen Free Fly that was supposed to start when Red Festival started on 28 January 2025. Stability and performance issues with Star Citizen 4.0.1 were the reasons for why this Star Citizen Free Fly was cancelled.
The next Star Citizen Free Fly has not been officially announced yet. There will likely be a Star Citizen Free Fly later in February or March 2025, and the next guaranteed free fly will be in May 2025 with the annual Invictus Launch Week event.
