help Freelancer FAQ

Was Freelancer developed by Chris Roberts?

Freelancer was originally conceived by Chris Roberts at his studio Digital Anvil, but Roberts left the company in 2000 before the game was completed. The game was finished by a remaining team at Digital Anvil and published by Microsoft Game Studios in 2003.

Is Freelancer connected to Starlancer?

Yes, Freelancer is set in the same fictional universe as Starlancer, which was released in 2000. While Starlancer is a mission-based space combat simulator, Freelancer expands the setting into an open-world space trading and combat experience.

Can you still play Freelancer multiplayer?

Microsoft shut down the official multiplayer servers years ago, but a dedicated modding community has kept Freelancer alive through community-run private servers. Mods such as 'Discovery Freelancer' add new content, systems, and features accessible with a legitimate copy of the game.

Does Freelancer support joystick or gamepad controls?

Freelancer was designed primarily for mouse-and-keyboard controls, with the mouse used for flight direction and aiming. While some players have configured joystick support through third-party tools, the game does not natively support joysticks or gamepads.
