Star Citizen delivers the next generation of space flight simulation gaming, combining FPS (First Person Shooter) combat and persistent MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gameplay to create a living, breathing first person universe capable of truly unlimited gameplay experiences. In addition, through the game's advanced Newtonian physics engine, Star Citizen enables players to experience an unparalleled space sim flying experience with ship control, performance and response calculated based on dozens of dynamically generated physics based variables.

Star Citizen will not require a subscription, and not be free-to-play, it will will be available for a one-time purchase. And while players will be able to play in the Star Citizen universe for free, there will also be virtual items available for purchase with in-game credits so players can customize their ships and other items.

CitizenCon is CIG’s annual event designed to not only celebrate all things Star Citizen, but to recognize and give back to the amazing community that makes it all possible. The number one destination for fans to connect with CIG developers and fellow players alike, CitizenCon 2952 will feature engaging discussions, exciting reveals, and a first-look at what’s in store for the most ambitious and transparent game development project in history.
