For the first time, Cloud Imperium Games is integrating Twitch Drops into Star Citizen, giving players a new way to score exclusive in-game loot. The event officially kicks off on November 20, 2025, marking a new chapter for the game's community engagement.
If you've ever wanted to grab some unique gear without spending your hard-earned UEC, this is your chance. Twitch Drops reward you for watching participating Star Citizen streams. Simply link your RSI and Twitch accounts, tune into a partnered broadcast, and watch for a specified amount of time to unlock items sent directly to your in-game hangar.
How to Get Your Free Gear
Participating is straightforward. Once the event goes live, you'll need to head to the official Roberts Space Industries website to connect your game account to your Twitch profile. After that, just find a streamer with drops enabled and start watching. It's a low-effort way to get something extra for your character, whether you're a veteran backer or a new pilot just starting your journey in the 'verse.
What kind of rewards can we expect?
While CIG hasn't revealed the specific items up for grabs, Twitch Drops campaigns typically feature cosmetic items. We could see anything from exclusive ship paints and armor sets to unique hangar flair or character apparel. For a game built on personalization, these kinds of exclusive items are a great way to make your mark without affecting the core gameplay balance. Keep an eye on the official channels as November 20 approaches for a full list of the rewards and participating streamers.
