In honour of the Foundation Festival event, Star Citizen can be tried for free from 12-19 July

The Star Citizen's Foundation Festival event is in full swing, during which anyone can try the game for free from 12 to 19 July.

Here's What We Know

Cloud Imperium describes the festival as "a civic programme in the game aimed at strengthening the community spirit." The festival introduces an enhanced "new player experience" for both newcomers and returning players, as well as a guide system that connects veteran pilots with newcomers to help them on their space journey.

With everyone talking about the release of the highly anticipated Pyro system later this year, a system filled with riches and dangers, the organisers of the Foundation Festival are using this opportunity to ensure that all citizens are flight-ready and prepared for any challenge, according to Cloud Imperium.

For those who want to join, three discounted starter kits are available to make it easier to get into the game. All kits include a game download, bonus ship colouring, additional in-game aUEC currency, and ship insurance.
