EVE Frontier Opens Up Free Trial for Ten Days on PC and Mac

EVE Frontier, the upcoming space survival MMO from CCP Games, is offering a 10-day free trial starting June 27. PC and Mac users interested in testing the game’s universe can sign up as ‘Remnants’ and explore the evolving galaxy at no cost until July 7. The free trial is available to anyone who registers through the official website and downloads the client.

This new entry in the EVE universe shifts the focus from the classic spacefaring MMO strategy of EVE Online to a more survival-oriented experience. Players take on the role of Riders, clones awakened in a harsh, unknown galaxy, tasked with enduring hostile environments, forming Tribes, and carving out a new existence in a sandbox world shaped by player actions.

• The free trial runs from June 27 to July 7 for both PC and Mac.
• Players join as ‘Remnants’ and can experience the current game cycle, called Promised Lands.
• Progression centers around earning ‘Grace’ through missions, Tribe activities, resource gathering, and combat.
• Leaderboards track individual and Tribe rankings based on Grace earned during the cycle.
• Retaining earned Grace at the end of the cycle requires acquiring Founder Access.
• The game world is driven by player-created factions, bases, economies, and a stargate network.
• Gameplay focuses on third-person spaceship piloting, with an emphasis on exploration, building, and survival tactics.

EVE Frontier is still in active development but has attracted attention for its blend of survival mechanics and open-ended player agency. CCP Games, best known for the long-running EVE Online, is experimenting with new ways for players to shape the universe, in contrast to traditional theme park MMOs. The free trial offers an early look at how these sandbox elements are coming together for a new generation of space explorers.
