Star Citizen Passes One Million Backers, Alpha Access Ends

Cloud Imperium Games’ Star Citizen has crossed the 1 million backers mark, according to the developer. To celebrate the occasion, CIG has announced the removal of Alpha Access and other module passes, thus allowing all backers to play every available module on the PTU test server.

Creator Chris Roberts stated that, “Anyone who has pledged for a Star Citizen Package can now play today without worrying they won’t have access to some portion of the ‘Verse in the future. No Star Marine pass, no Alpha 2.0 pass…no additional payment needed for any module in the works, pre-release. Going forward, should we need to put out some sort of limited release it will be done through the PTU test server. All backers will have access to any live release, the moment it publishes.”

We recently had a look at the single-player campaign for Star Citizen, namely Squadron 42 which features all-star talent like Gary Oldman, Mark Hammil, Andy Serkis, Gillian Anderson and many more. What are your thoughts on Star Citizen crossing one million backers? Let us know in the comments.
