Why Bother?
What is Star Citizen, exactly?
A first-person, persistent universe space sim from Cloud Imperium Games. Hundreds of star systems planned, seamless planetary landings, FPS combat, dogfights, cargo hauling, mining, exploration, bounty hunting — all in one continuous, shared universe.
Seamless planetary travel
Lift off from a station, cruise across a system in quantum, descend through a planet's atmosphere and land at a spaceport — without a single loading screen.
Hundreds of ships
From single-seat fighters to multi-crew capital ships. Every vessel is fully interactive, walkable inside, and ready for solo or co-op gameplay.
Choose your career
Be a freighter pilot, salvager, mercenary, doctor, miner, racer, smuggler, explorer. Or all of them. The 'verse doesn't pick a class for you.
Massive online universe
Server meshing lets thousands of players share a single persistent universe. Your actions matter and your stuff stays where you left it.
For New Pilots
Smart moves for your first hours in the 'verse
A few pointers from veterans to help you spend that 50,000 UEC wisely and not eject into the void on day one.
→ Watch the Free Fly events
Cloud Imperium runs free fly events several times a year. You can try the entire game and a rotating fleet of ships for free — without buying a game package.
→ Join an org or Discord
Star Citizen rewards group play. Find a beginner-friendly organization in-game or hop into a community Discord to learn the ropes and find wing-mates.
→ Don't spend everything on day one
Keep some UEC in reserve for ammo, fuel and ship repairs. Death is part of the experience and respawning with empty pockets is a rough start.
→ Pick a starter career
Bounty contracts, mining, cargo runs, salvage and box delivery missions are great beginner activities to earn aUEC (in-game cash) and learn the systems.
Frequently Asked
Star Citizen referral code — FAQ
What is a Star Citizen referral code?
A Star Citizen referral code is a unique identifier tied to an existing player's account. When a new recruit enters a referral code during account creation, they receive a free 50,000 UEC bonus, and the referrer earns Recruitment Points if the recruit later spends $40+ on a game package.
How do I use the referral code STAR-Q5XP-GLMY?
The easiest way: click any "Enlist Now" button on this page. You'll be redirected to robertsspaceindustries.com/enlist?referral=STAR-Q5XP-GLMY with the code pre-filled. Just complete account creation and the 50,000 UEC will be credited to your account.
Is the referral bonus really free?
Yes — 100%. The Star Citizen account is free, the referral code is free, and the 50,000 UEC bonus is free. You only pay if you choose to buy a game package later to actually play.
How much is 50,000 UEC worth in-game?
UEC (United Earth Credits) is the persistent currency. 50,000 UEC will comfortably cover starter armor, weapons, ship components or fuel and ammo for several gameplay sessions. It's a meaningful boost for any new pilot.
Can I add the code after creating my account?
Yes, but only within 24 hours of account creation. Log into your RSI account, head to Settings → Referral Program, and enter STAR-Q5XP-GLMY. After 24 hours, the bonus can no longer be applied.
Do I need to buy a game package?
No. Creating an account and claiming the 50,000 UEC bonus is free. You'll need a game package only when you want to actually log into the Persistent Universe and play. The Free Fly events let you try the game without buying anything.
Is this an official Star Citizen program?
Yes. The referral program is run directly by Cloud Imperium Games on Roberts Space Industries (the official Star Citizen platform). This site simply pre-fills the code STAR-Q5XP-GLMY on the official enlistment URL.
When was the bonus updated to 50,000 UEC?
Cloud Imperium overhauled the referral program in July 2025, multiplying the enlistment bonus by 10× (from 5,000 to 50,000 UEC) and adding new rewards for referrers. The code STAR-Q5XP-GLMY uses the current, up-to-date program.
Does the code work outside the US / in Europe / on PS5?
The referral code works worldwide on PC. Star Citizen is a PC-only title (Windows). The bonus is granted in-game and is region-independent.
