From curious to cockpit

Join Star Citizen in 3 steps

01 / SIGN UP

Create your account

Register on the official RSI website. Check that STAR-GSY5-NKKS is entered in the referral field, then confirm your email.

02 / GET READY

Check before you buy

Install and take off

Before you jump in

Star Citizen referral code FAQ

How do I get the 50,000 UEC referral bonus?

Use STAR-GSY5-NKKS when creating your RSI account, or follow our registration link. RSI currently lists a 50,000 UEC bonus for referral sign-ups. UEC and the alpha’s aUEC are different currencies; do not assume your account bonus equals the balance shown in a particular alpha build. Check the official referral FAQ for eligibility and current terms.

Can I add a referral code after creating my account?

If you forgot a code, RSI currently allows a 24-hour grace period after account creation. Sign in to RSI, open your account panel and use its referral-code field. An already-associated referral code cannot be changed. See the official instructions.

Does this code offer an exclusive bonus or a free ship?

This is RSI’s standard referral bonus, not an exclusive Spaceloop offer. Extra rewards depend on a qualifying RSI promotion and its conditions. Check the official referral program for current incentives.

Is creating an account enough to play?

No. Registration alone does not normally grant game access. You need a package that includes Star Citizen, unless RSI is offering an applicable limited-time access event. Check the official website before buying or downloading. Read RSI’s installation guide.

Can my computer run Star Citizen?

Check RSI’s minimum and recommended specifications before choosing a package. The game requires an SSD, and performance varies with hardware, settings and the current build.

Is Star Citizen a finished game?

Star Citizen is still in development. Features, performance and balance can change, and bugs may interrupt a session. Approach your first flight as an introduction to an evolving game.
