Buy Star Citizen: How to get started

Although Star Citizen is not yet finished, you can play the alpha version. This is chargeable, because the development of the game is financed by crowdfunding, so every purchase is invested directly in progress.

From cheap to expensive: Star Citizen is available in quite different starter packages to choose from.

Already now in the alpha, the enormous scope of Star Citizen shows. This already begins with the selection of the starter package.

Buy Star Citizen: How much money do you want to spend?

If you want to buy Star Citizen in its unfinished stage, there are quite a few different packages to choose from. These differ in the ships you receive, as well as the scope of the package:

• The cheapest packages start at $45. For this you get the starship Mustang Alpha or Aurora MR in the Starter Pack.
• The upcoming single-player campaign "Squadron 42" also costs 45 dollars.
• For 65 dollars you get the Mustang Alpha as well as access to "Squadron 42". Tip: This combination is worth it, because it will be much more expensive if you buy both packages separately.
• The price range upwards is wide open: For 125 euros you get the Cutlass Black, for 135 euros you get in with the Hornet F7C.
• The most expensive package currently is "UEE EXPLORATION 2950" for $ 1,100. There are various spaceships and other vehicles, the campaign, RECs and other extras included.
