Elite Dangerous: Arena Is Free To Download This Weekend
If you haven't jumped in to Frontier Developments' Elite Dangerous, this weekend is your best opportunity. The publisher has announced that the game's standalone close-quarters-combat PvP mode, Arena, is free for a limited time. To make things better, those who download Elite Dangerous: Arena this weekend aren't getting a limited trial; those who download Arena this weekend for free are able to keep it permanently.
Arena places players in four unique spaceships in first-person dogfights taking place in four different arenas. The game rewards players for ranking up with new tactical options through custom loadouts. If you're still undecided, you can check out the trailer for Elite Dangerous: Arena below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
