1 - Create An Account - Use A Referral Code!
Creating your account is your first step into the Star Citizen universe. Using a referral code grants you an extra 5000 UEC (in game credits) if you decide to purchase the game (not required for the free fly).
Creating an account is free (whether you buy the game or not).
Use this referral code: STAR-37X3-G5GJ
2 - Check the system requirements
To get the most out of your Free Fly event you will want to make sure your computer can handle Star Citizen. It is an advanced MMO universe under construction therefore the system requirements are quite steep. Even if your computer can handle other games Star Citizen can be very demanding on system resources.
Star Citizen has the following minimum requirements. CIG strongly recommend having a system with these minimums to effectively install, load, and play the games.
- Windows 8.1 (64bit) with Service Pack 1, Windows 10 (64bit), Windows 11
- DirectX 11 Graphics Card with 4GB RAM
- Quad Core CPU or better
- 16GB+ RAM (32GB+ Recommended)
- SSD required (M.2 recommended)
CIG also recommend the following:
- Drive should be NTFS formatted with at least 72 GB for the RSI Launcher and Star Citizen for install and at least 20GB (SSD) additional space for the pagefile
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.5.2
- Ports opens for TCP 8000 - 8020 and UDP 64090 - 64110
CIG do not currently support Linux or Mac OSX Operating Systems but it is planned in the future.
