Star Citizen shoots past $200 million in crowdfunding ahead of free week
Star Citizen has just zoomed past the $200 million crowdfunding mark. That monumental number looks even bigger when you put it alongside the biggest video game budgets of all times: only three other games—GTA 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic—have ever had budgets of more than $200 million to play with.
The freeform multiplayer space sim still doesn't have a release date (developer Cloud Imperium Games has promised a full roadmap next month), but that hasn't stopped would-be spacefarers from flocking to it. According to its funding page, more than 2 million backers have stuck money in at an average of around $94 per person.
It was helped by the influx of money it received during CitizenCon last month, where it revealed another star-studded trailer for Squadron 42, its singleplayer spin-off.
