New players start out with a Sidewinder MkI ship and a small sum of credits. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions can be played on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 respectively via backwards compatibility, but no new ports optimized specifically for next-generation consoles are currently planned. The Xbox One version launched on October 6, 2015, followed by the PlayStation 4 version on June 27, 2017. The Mac version was released on May 12, 2015, but Mac OS support was dropped on Decemdue to technical barriers.
It was partially funded via a Kickstarter campaign. The Windows PC version launched on December 16, 2014. It was developed and published by Frontier Developments with David Braben as the director. With regards to what is coming next in Elite Dangerous, we look forward to sharing further news in due course.Elite Dangerous is a massively multiplayer space epic and the fourth installment in the legendary Elite series, the longest running space simulation series in history. This was not an easy decision to make, but it was made with the long-term future of Elite Dangerous in mind. We appreciate this news is not what our console community were hoping for. Elite Dangerous will continue on console as it is now together with critical updates, but we will focus on new content updates on PC on the post- Odyssey codebase.
We need to be able to move forward with the story of the game, and in order for us to do this we need to focus on a single codebase. Over the last several months, we have been wrestling with the best way to move forward, and it is with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel all console development. We have been supporting the pre- Odyssey and post- Odyssey codebases since. Since Odyssey’s release in May 2021, we have worked tirelessly to improve the Odyssey experience on PC, and whilst we have made great progress there is still more to be done. It’s no secret that Odyssey’s launch was less than ideal, including the need to split the PC/console player base to focus on a PC-only launch. Elite Dangerous is a game close to my heart.
