Subscriptions

Subscriptions are contributions that any user can make to the Star Citizen Project. Subscriptions contribute to Star Citizen project development by funding behind-the-scenes shows like Inside Star Citizen in addition to Jump Point, the monthly digital magazine about Star Citizen.

There are two Star Citizen subscription tiers: Imperator and Centurion.

Purchasing a Subscription
There are two ways to become a subscriber: through a Plan or through Passes.

A Plan is a recurring payment that you subscribe to through your Payment Processor. It can be a monthly-recurring payment or an annually (12 month) recurring one. Every time a payment is processed, your subscription is automatically expanded by one period (month or year, depending on the plan).

A Pass is a one-off payment that grants you Subscriber access for a limited time. They’re an excellent alternative if you can’t or don’t want to subscribe to a recurring payment plan. Passes don’t require a cash purchase, as you can buy them with Store Credit.

A Pass gives you exactly the same perks as a regular Plan and also contributes to your subscriber history.

You can purchase a subscription, and view subscription rewards by going to: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/subscriptions

Once purchased, a subscription will bill you every month on the same date as the first purchasing date.

You can cancel a subscription any time, by going to Account > Settings > Billing and Subscription Tab, and clicking "Cancel Subscription."

Additional information can be found on the RSI Subscriptions FAQ.
