Star Citizen has it now Raising over half a billion dollars in funding from sponsors🇧🇷 As Matt recently summed up for us, its extremely long development is well documented with the game still in its infancy over a decade after production began. And while it has attracted some private funding in that time, most of it has come through crowdfunding, starting with a $2 million Kickstarter in 2012 and growing from there.

As of September 2022, Star Citizen has reached the $500,075,150 mark in crowdfunding. His previous achievements of $400 million I arrived around this time last yearWhich means it will take another ten months to accumulate an additional $100 million.
