Eve Online’s New Survival Spinoff Is Free But Only for a Limited Time

Eve Frontier is just getting started but this free-to-play Eve Online spinoff could become a big competitor to No Man’s Sky and Star Citizen.

What could be more exciting than a sandbox game where you can do whatever you want? A sandbox game set in space Games like No Man’s Sky and Elite Dangerous are great examples of this genre. Now there’s a new game joining them Eve Frontier. It’s a spin-off of the popular space MMO Eve Online and even though it’s still very new you can try it out for free for a limited time.

Eve Online has been around since 2003 so it's over 20 years old. Because of that jumping into the original game can feel a bit overwhelming especially since some players have been playing for many years. That’s why Eve Frontier was made. It’s a mix of a sandbox game and an MMO and it offers a fresh start in the Eve universe for new players.

Eve Frontier is like a brand-new beginning for the popular space game Eve Online. It adds new survival-style gameplay making things more challenging and interesting. One cool feature is something called Smart Assemblies which let you build your own things like portals, trading posts and more. But there’s a twist the game world is called a shattered universe which means resources are very limited and hard to find.

If you enjoy games where you have to survive build and explore Eve Frontier is free to play right now. Normally you’d have to buy a special in-game pack that costs $39.99 $69.99 or $99.99 to get in. But for a limited time you can sign up and play for free from today until Monday July 7, 2025.

Before you jump into the game there’s one important thing to know. Eve Frontier uses blockchain technology to keep track of the game world. It also has a cryptocurrency called $EVE Token and a non-crypto currency called LUX. This system has been controversial but the developers at CCP are standing by their decision to include it.
