Star Citizen is free to play from November 13 to 27, 2026, during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2956. The event takes place in New Babbage on microTech, allowing anyone to create an RSI account and play without buying a game package.
During IAE, more than 200 ships and ground vehicles can be rented for free from expo kiosks. Each day highlights different manufacturers, with new ships like the RSI Galaxy and Skylark on day one, plus further reveals throughout the event. All players receive a temporary RSI Aurora Mk II.
How to participate
Just create a free account at robertsspaceindustries.com, download the game, and log in starting November 13. The free fly runs until November 27 at 20:00 UTC.
IAE is Star Citizen's biggest annual ship showcase and a great chance for new players to explore the universe.
