Is Star Citizen on Steam? No, and here is why that is fine
PC only, direct from RSI. No Steam key. The bonus is on the same page.
Short answer: Star Citizen is not on Steam, Epic, Xbox, or PlayStation. It is PC-only (Windows 64-bit) and sold and downloaded directly from Roberts Space Industries at robertsspaceindustries.com. There is no Steam key.
A lot of new players search "Star Citizen Steam" or "is Star Citizen on Xbox", so let us clear it up. The game is sold one way only, and that actually works in your favour, because the only signup bonus lives on that same official page.
Where it is, and is not
| Platform | Available? |
|---|---|
| PC, direct from RSI (robertsspaceindustries.com) | Yes, the only way |
| Steam | No, and no Steam key exists |
| Epic Games Store | No |
| Xbox / PlayStation | No, PC only |
Will it come to Steam or console?
No console version is planned. The studio has been blunt that Star Citizen is a PC game and will not be cut down for consoles. Occasional rumours pop up from job listings, but nothing is announced. Treat it as PC-only for the foreseeable future.
Why buying direct is actually fine
Because there is no storefront middleman, the official signup bonus is right there on the same site. When you create your account, paste STAR-JTV7-FXLR in the Referral Code (optional) field and your account gets 50,000 UEC after a $40+ Game Package. You log in with your normal RSI account, no Steam, no extra launcher beyond the RSI one. How to download.
Start here: the Citizen Starter Pack at $45 is the cheapest way in, and with STAR-JTV7-FXLR your account also gets 50,000 UEC. Same price you would pay anyway.
