Great news for all Star Citizen backers as the highly anticipated Alpha 3.0 is currently available on the Public Test Server to everyone. This basically means that everyone who has backed up this project will be able to test the alpha 3.0 version of the game.
Cloud Imperium initially released Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 to all Evocati Test Flight volunteer members back in October. And after two and a half months, the team decided to open its gates to all backers.
Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 features planetary landings, persistent universe content, a new back-end item system, implementation of commodities, trading, automated cargo buy/sell kiosks, and, indirectly, piracy, as well as network improvements and user interface enhancements.
You can download the latest Star Citizen launcher from here. PC gamers will also have to copy their account to PTU (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/copy/ptu). After doing that, backers will get their temporary PTU password delivered in email.
It’s worth noting that Cloud Imperium will showcase later today Star Citizen’s single-player portion, Squadron 42. Squadron 42’s presentation was scheduled for yesterday, however, Cloud Imperium faced some technical issues. Cloud Imperium will live-stream this presentation, so expect to see more gameplay action from it!
UPDATE:
Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 is now available to all backers!

Looks
Bet it’s not fake like The Division, Watch Dogs, Farcry 3 E3 gameplay they sold a ton of pre-orders. Graphically it looks on par with 3.0, so nothing fake about it as we already have that graphical fideility anyway live now.
Although I disagree, it made me laugh lol.
Easy there, Derek
lol Derek Smart.
Holy hell you went full troll. Are you actually citing Derek Smart?
I dont care about him. He put togeder all the info about the game over the past 5 years . Is there a better article where is sumed up everything about starcitizen.?
He consistently spews straight up lies. Sure, he put together a bunch of BS spanning 5 years. That’s how long he’s been butthurt that he couldn’t make a game nearly this good.
Well . Now i feel bad for linking him. i am never gona say his name again .
How are you so certain he’s lying? You have even less proof to your BS claims than Smart.
Just got the email, Alpha 3.0 is coming out of PTU and going on Live tomorrow!
Hey man, it’s Christmas.
You need a game to play?
Add me on Steam and I will hook you up.
But there is a catch.
You need to just stop posting, I feel bad for you.
Like it hurts to read anything you say.
So let me buy you a game and maybe you might be happy again.
Later.
Yeah good idea . The game i want is star citizen . With every ship. It might be around 30 000 $ but hey u told me u get me a game .. . . . Oh and i want the final build …. u know they one they promised in 2014 or 2015 or 2016 .
Thx
See dude.
You’re really an unhappy person. I just offered to give you a game. My profile isn’t private on Steam. I have gift copies of games. I have keys.
And instead of just saying f-it let me enjoy the weekend and play something new and maybe smile for once. You reply with some low effort comment.
I wish you the best but even that won’t be enough for you.
Take care guy. You’re going to get far in life.
Low effort comment ? I told you what i want. And now u put the brakes on cuz u realized oh snap i cant buy any game he want “what u promised u gona do” i dont like ppl who lie . Or devs who lie.
And just from some comments u can assumeni am an unhappy person ? Jeez no wonder star citizen got millions . Ppl se something they dont even know what is it or whats the truh they just throw money at it cuz hey it looks good . . . . And now u judge me just from some comments. . . . . .
And you lied about buying me my dream game. . . .
I am an unhappy person because ppl treat me like u . . . .
Offering me good thing and then they judge and i am a sad person cuz u cant give me what i want
Thats why i dont trust game publishers who lie or ppl who lie . . .
Why so you even care if the community fund star citizen? It’s their money, let them spend it, if the game succeed then they will celebrate (and you will lament) and if the game failed then you will celebrate (and the community will lament), just stop your toxic behaviour everytime any article came about star citizen, it’s look like Chris Robert stole your sweetrole.
Why i care ?
Because its make crowdfunding gmes look bad.
If it fails it can backfire and ppl wont found games that can be good.
Its a pc only game and will make us ( pc gamers ) look bad if it fails.
It keep getting more and more money and they keep adding new golas .
if they finish one thing they must start adding new things to it.
Lots of ppl say i am a troll or sad person or . . .
The thing is back when they started making star citizen i was like holy hell i want this . This is gona b good . And i didnt wanted to play the game bit by bits i waited for the release and wanted to have all the fun form star to finish .
And after years i relized what a scam is this .
Most of you guys who suppor this are happy with some videos and images and alphas where u can fly in an empty space for an hour or two .
And ppl still founding this .
I would b happy if the game would be out and would get it if its good . But right now its a scam . And i will call it a scam until they make some real prgress .. .
Your fear of being laughed at by console gamers because of this game failing is completely and utterly retarded.
i dont fear of being laughed at by console gamers because of this game failing .
what is my fear is ?
this is a crowdfunded game .
so if it backfires and the millions of money got lost of a half finished buggy game then ppl will be scared to crowdfund / kickstart / stream greenlight games and yes PC is gona look bad . cuz this is a PC only game
SO my fear is ppl wont crowdfunded games any more . yes 10/9 games are bad
BUT that one game what can make is and its good then its gold and awesome like FTL / SUPERHOT / SHOVEL KNIGHT / UNDERTALE / THE BANNER SAGA .
that is one of my fear is .
and i dont fear the lowes life form on this planet ehm ehm console gamers ….
So by your logic, people won’t buy AAA games anymore because E3 videos have been proven to be fake and are missleading people into investing and preordering the game? Funny how that’s not actually happening. There is always a chance a game, studio will fail, even under a AAA studio as they have and have had to be canceled, this is how business works, businesses, projects fail all the time, games are no different.
I haven said anything about AAA games .
Its funny that responded to your own question whitout knowing my opinion about AAA games.
I know you didn’t, that’s why I said “by your logic”, what you’re saying about Crowd funding isn’t happening with AAA games. What you don’t understand is that people lose money all the time by such things but invest still because it might make them a ton of money or a great game can be made. Who ever said Star Citizen can’t fail, if you did you know nothing about business.
I cant respond to this .
I feel like i lost an argument when i hevet even said anithing to it.
People will still crowd fund games if Star Citzien fails is my point, there is always a chance any crowd funding game will fail, AAA games and studios fail yet people still buy the games. Just look at EA and Microsoft’s failed or axed studios.
Well if you were serious that was awfully nice of you. Hope you have a good holiday!
I was. I don’t troll. It’s pointless. I’ll make jokes etc. But trolling does nothing. He wants to be unhappy that’s on him.
Have a good holiday too!
Think about how sad your life must be to continue to write about something like for as long as he has.
Well, good luck in getting a game like Star Citizen up and running with your own money from scratch with no studios, maybe one day you when you grow up you might go into business and realise how hard it is.
You whine about PC not having AAA exclusives because of this reason, no one is willing to take a gamble but when they do you’re p*ssing all of it, you’re a pathetic PC gamer that’s all about yourself, you have zero credibility and have no valid arguments, grow the f*ck up for once.
What ?
