In the early stage, the struggle is to accumulate enough credits to upgrade from your basic Sidewinder. One of the highlights of Elite Dangerous is that the game features an online multiplayer mode called Open Play which gives access to a massively multiplayer persistent universe, and a single-player online-only experience. There are over 400 billion star systems with planets and moons that spin and orbit in real-time and may be explored by the player in the Elite Dangerous virtual universe. A "key feature overhaul" is coming in early 2023, but the devs didn't have much to say about it.Elite Dangerous is a simulation video game in which players take control of a spaceship and sets to explore the Milky Way galaxy that is shown as a 1:1 scale open-world model. The developer promises to keep optimizing Odyssey while developing Elite Dangerous's storyline. Without Odyssey, Elite's system requirements are incredibly light by today's standards, but the game has been Windows-only for years.įrontier also recently revealed a roadmap with three more updates planned for this year. Many players will likely take advantage of Frontier's free console-to-PC transfer offer, but many others probably don't have rigs capable of running Elite. The game's premium currency, called ARX, also can't move from console to PC.įrontier canceled future console updates for Elite Dangerous in March after spending months trying to improve the performance of its latest expansion - Odyssey - which only launched on PC.
This method can take two weeks and involves transferring billions of in-game credits per player. Frontier suggests that players decommission the transports before the transfer and then use their refunds to re-buy them on PC. Notably, fleet carriers won't survive the transfer.
Players also will have to rename their characters after the transfer. Unfortunately, their squad memberships, friends lists, and mission progress will reset. Players will retain all their ships, land vehicles, avatars, inventories, reputation, ranks, permits, codex discoveries, engineering progress, guardian tech broker progress, crew progress, and cosmetics. Last week, the developer explained which items players can transfer to PC. It hasn't revealed how or when this will happen other than it will be a limited-time offer. This week, Frontier confirmed that those who own Elite Dangerous for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One could receive a free PC copy. The company also laid out some of its plans for the sandbox space simulator. What just happened? Weeks after canceling future development on the console versions of Elite Dangerous, Frontier Developments has revealed how console players can move most of their progress to PC.
