Dynamic Events are server-wide, multi-phase scenarios that play out over the course of several days. Launched and managed in-game by the Star Citizen gameplay team, Dynamic Events allow players to experience epic space battles with players from across the ‘verse banding together for a common cause.

Star Citizen is also free to download and play through Aug. 27. In addition, players can enjoy access to six iconic ships, each giving players a taste of the various career paths and play styles awaiting them in the ‘verse. For full details on the Star Citizen Free Fly program, please head here.

The first phase for the new and improved XenoThreat Dynamic Event is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Aug. 25. Phases 2 and 3, where the players’ rally to resupply the UEE and defend against XenoThreat’s forces, will follow quickly thereafter and run through the rest of the month and into early September, concluding on Tuesday, September 7.
The Star Citizen Free Fly event is currently live and runs through Friday, Aug. 27. Players who participate in this Free Fly event will also be eligible for various discounted Starter Packs through Aug. 30.
