[[File:Star citizen free trial.png|thumb]]'''Free-fly''' refers to a period during which ''[[Star Citizen]]'' is free to play. It is essentially a free demo giving full access to everything in the game, but only for a time.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/FlyFree|text=Experience Star Citizen for Free|accessdate=}}</ref>

During this time, players don't need a ''Star Citizen'' [[Game package]] in order to play, and they have access to several [[ships]] for free in their account, with all the other ships accessible by the usual in-game means such as using [[United Earth Credit|in-game currency]] to buy them or rent them.

The Star Citizen free-fly first appeared under the form of [[Coupons|redeemable codes]] before becoming open to all periodically.

During the free to play period, there are also usually discounts on starters packs or specific ships, for the players who chose to continue playing once the free trial ends. The aim of the free-fly is to bring more players to the game.

The free to play usually occurs alongside other events.
