EVE Frontier free trial offer ends November 10, with the Partner Program live
On November 10, 2026, the free trial offer for EVE Frontier ends. November 5, 2026 is the last day to start a new trial. Each trial lasts five days. The EVE Frontier Partner Program is live, and partners get monthly codes for Founder Access, the access program the game runs before full launch, to share with their communities.
Background
EVE Frontier is a space survival game from Fenris Creations, the studio behind EVE Online. Founder Access is already live. A full launch date has not been named.
The game is built in Cycles. Each Cycle puts new features into a live galaxy, where they are tested at scale and refined with players. The Partner Program is open to streamers, video creators, writers, and builders.
What happened
Free trial change (October 30)
On October 30, 2026, EVE Frontier posted (opens in new tab) the change to the free trial offer. The offer is the window in which you can start a trial. November 5 is the last day to start one, and the offer ends on November 10.
The EVE Frontier team's announcement says that after November 10, access to EVE Frontier will require Founder Access. Founder Access holders remain unaffected.
Dedicated, limited-time free trial periods will be introduced around key moments in development. Those later windows do not have dates yet.
Partner Program (October 29)
On October 29, 2026, EVE Frontier posted (opens in new tab) that the Partner Program is live. Applications are open on the EVE Frontier Partner Program page (opens in new tab).
The program is open to streamers, video creators, writers, wiki contributors, and builders who make tools, apps, and mods. As a partner you get:
- Direct access to developers in a private partner channel
- Monthly Founder Access codes for your community
- Opportunities to have your work shown on official EVE Frontier channels, including the website and social media
The page says the program is still in development and will grow with the game. Final admittance is at the discretion of Fenris Creations. You must be 18 or older to join, in line with the EVE Frontier Terms of Service.
Minimum requirements per Cycle
You need an account in good standing and the minimum requirements below. Partners are reviewed each Cycle. If you fall below the minimum requirements, you get one more Cycle to meet them again before removal. If you are removed, you need to meet the minimum requirements for a full Cycle before you can apply again.
| Who | Minimum per Cycle |
|---|---|
| Streamers | 1,000 or more followers on Twitch, and at least 5 distinct EVE Frontier streams |
| Video creators | 1,500 or more subscribers on YouTube, and at least 5 distinct EVE Frontier videos |
| Writers | Covers blogs, wikis, fansites, and other media. At least 4 pieces of written EVE Frontier content. If a fansite is not article- or post-based, Fenris looks for sustained effort to keep EVE Frontier content up to date |
| Builders | Out-of-game tools, apps, and sites, and in-game mods built on Smart Assemblies. Project kept up to date as the game changes between Cycles, in active use, and in conversation with players |
| Other creators | Apply anyway and say what you are building |
EVE Online Partners who make EVE Frontier content are fast-tracked without needing to meet those minimum requirements. Creators who work in another language may apply even if they fall short of the minimum requirements above.
Founder Access code giveaways must be open to all viewers, not only subscribers or patrons. Winners of those codes must be 18 or older.
