Star Citizen gains momentum

Hey gamers, have you heard the news? Star Citizen, the massive space simulator by Cloud Imperium, has set a new record for funding! In just one day during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE), the game raised an impressive $3 million. And that's just one of the many exciting updates surrounding Star Citizen.

A crowdfunding story like no other

Since its launch over ten years ago, the crowdfunding campaign to finance this enormous space game has raised an incredible $644,922,180 / £510,791,265 to date. And it doesn't stop there! Squadron 42, an exciting single-player component, is on its way, and Cloud Imperium is continuously working to create a seamless and enduring universe for Star Citizen.

The IAE is an annual in-game event in Star Citizen where new ships are unveiled for the first time. This year was no exception, with new models from Aegis, Origin, Drake, and more. But the absolute highlight was the presentation day for Roberts Space Industries, owned by Chris Roberts, the founder of Cloud Imperium.

A new daily record set

Hold on tight: On RSI's presentation day, Star Citizen generated $3.5 million - the highest daily total in the entire history of the simulation game! This achievement sets a new record and demonstrates the enthusiasm of the fans.

What's next?

  • Star Citizen will remain free to play until the end of the IAE on November 30th.
  • Squadron 42 enters the "Polishing Phase".
  • The highly anticipated full 1.0 version of Star Citizen is still eagerly awaited.
