Still technically in early access (with all the caveats of that) and the closest this game will have to an open beta, here's a take on how well that works on a mid/low range PC.

The developer of Star Citizen launched update Alpha 4.7.1 and started a Free Fly Event, making the game free to play for a limited time.
Sure....since they raised close to a billion they don't even need to make a profit.
But it’s not funded by players for over 13 years. And it will release before Star Citizen
what difference does it make, it's being funded while you are pissed off, money is money. Why do you have emotion?
Feels like when at the mall people stop you to give you free products and once you accept they won't stop to follow you until you buy the rest ..... F-DAT !
I do wish they'd release this for PS5 Pro at the very least. I've been craving a good realistic space exploration game since Frontier Developments stopped supporting ongoing updates for Elite Dangerous on consoles. I put a ton of hours into that game and then they just stopped console support when the Odyssey update came out. Pissed me off LOL. I guess I'll get back into No Man's Sky for the time being since there's a bunch of new stuff since I've last played.
I didn't even realise you had to pay. Who on earth is paying to play a game that is still in alpha over a decade on 😂
"A decade?"
This started before No Man's Sky was announced.
2011. It's been a decade and a half.
Shameless plug for NMS: you can build all of Star Citizens' ships in NMS for free. The only difference is that one of these games has launched...a decade ago. And the new update allows you toto capture creatures and battle them in an arena.
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games fully unveiled and made available one of the most anticipated ships of its lineup, the MISC Hull B.
The whimsical April Fool's prank by Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games hid a piece of actual news that many have been waiting for.
These free fly weekends does this "game" no favors. You'll be lucky to pull 30 fps even on a top tier PC, and only if you survive the numerous bugs and glitches.
