In more Star Citizen news, the game’s crowdfunding total has passed $253 million by a rather wide margin.

To be more precise, at the moment of this writing it’s at $253,730,183. This means that fans have pledged almost 12 million dollars since the beginning of the International Aerospace Expo and the corresponding Anniversary sale on November 24.

The number of registered accounts is now at 2,456,499, with an increase of over 30,000 during the period mentioned above. As usual, you should keep in mind that not all of them are paying players. The number includes accounts created for Free Fly events.

You can also take a look at the brand new “Theatres of War” Battlefield-like gameplay mode, the reveal of the game’s universe simulation tech, Quantummore videos and screenshots showing planet tech v4, Microtech and its capital, New Babbage, and two more panels showcasing the latest ships and prison gameplay.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
