Foundation Festival 2026 | Star Citizen

FOUNDATION FESTIVAL 2026 Every Pilot Starts Somewhere Foundation Festival is all about welcoming new pilots to Star Citizen and celebrating the community members who help them find their way. Whether you’re preparing for your first flight, returning to see what’s new, or sharing years of experience with a rookie pilot, there’s no better time to discover everything life in the ’verse has to offer. From July 29 through August 10, everyone can play for free and explore the ’verse with five distinct ships. We’ve also refreshed the Welcome Hub, upgraded the Guide System, and introduced plenty of new rewards for those who help bring our globe-spanning citizens together.
