Star Citizen is an upcoming space sim video game for Microsoft Windows and Linux. Star Citizen will consist of two main components: first-person space combat, mining and trading with first-person shooter elements in a massively multiplayer persistent universe and customizable private servers, and a branching single-player and drop-in co-operative multiplayer campaign titled Squadron 42.The game is built on a modified CryEngine and will feature Oculus Rift support.
It is currently in V 2.1 Alpha and also has a public test universe available. This game is very demanding on hardware and requires some heavy gear.
I bought a ship a few weeks ago and have been addicted ever since. If you have not heard about it, check out some videos to see it in action.
