On the occasion of Gamescom 2016, Cloud Imperium Games has announced that Star Citizen - the highly anticipated space simulation - will be playable for free over the upcoming weekend. During this short free trial period, players will have the chance to look more closely at Star Citizen, testing the several modules currently available.
It's not the first time that Cloud Imperium has promoted similar initiatives for the game. This free trial will not only allow players the chance to have a look at Star Citizn, but it will also allow the developers to test the alpha version of this ambitious title, which however hasn't been released yet.
You can try Star Citizen for free by visiting the official website, register an account by entering the promotional code "GAMESCOM2016", and then download the alpha client.
