A major change is coming to Star Citizen’s referral system—and it’s a big one.
CIG has officially announced that the current referral program will be sunsetting on July 1st, making way for a completely rebuilt referral ladder. This isn’t just a small update—it’s a full revamp from the ground up.
🛠️ What’s Changing?
Since the referral ladder was first introduced, it’s largely remained untouched. But that’s about to change. The upcoming system will feature:
- 🎁 Brand-new rewards inspired by Star Citizen and Squadron 42
- 🪜 More frequent milestone unlocks
- 🧭 Meaningful incentives much earlier in the process
- 🧱 Improved functionality across the board
⏳ Countdown to Change: July 1st
You’ve got until July 1st to climb as high as you can on the current ladder. Once that date hits:
- The current referral ladder disappears
- All progress resets—everyone starts fresh
- All rewards you’ve already earned are yours to keep
So, if you’re sitting close to that next reward tier, now’s the time to make your final push.
This isn’t just a re-skin—it’s a full-on overhaul designed to feel fresh, rewarding, and exciting for both new and veteran recruiters.
📦 What About the New Rewards?
CIG is keeping the full list under wraps for now, but they’ve confirmed the new program will include a variety of ships, gear, and cosmetics themed around both Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
The full breakdown of the new system, including tier details and how everything works, will be published on July 1st.
❓ FAQ Highlights
Will my current referrals carry over?
Nope. Everyone starts from zero with the new ladder.
Can I still earn rewards before July 1?
Absolutely. The current ladder is active until the switchover.
Will rewards I’ve earned go away?
No. Everything you’ve unlocked already is yours forever.
Whether you’re sitting on a stack of referrals or just getting started, this is your final call to climb before the reset. Rally your friends, share your code, and secure those legacy rewards while you still can.
We’ll be watching for full details on the new system come July 1st—stay tuned here on SCGhost.org for our breakdown when it drops.
🛰️ Fly safe out there, Ghosts.
