Elite Dangerous is the definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming’s original open world adventure to the modern generation with a connected galaxy, evolving narrative and the entirety of the Milky Way re-created at its full galactic proportions.
Starting with only a small starship and a few credits, players do whatever it takes to earn the skill, knowledge, wealth and power to survive in a futuristic cutthroat galaxy and to stand among the ranks of the iconic Elite. In an age of galactic superpowers and interstellar war, every player’s story influences the unique connected gaming experience and handcrafted evolving narrative. Governments fall, battles are lost and won, and humanity’s frontier is reshaped, all by players’ actions.

Update 12's New Date

Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates
Greetings Commanders,
We’d like to thank you all for your patience whilst we’ve been working on our communications and development plans for the remainder of the year.
Following the launch of Odyssey, our primary focus has been on performance, optimisation and bug fixing, along with adding more features. This focus has had a knock-on effect with regards to our plans for this year and beyond and delayed our communications.
Odyssey Console Development Update
Greetings Commanders,
Elite Dangerous is a game close to my heart.
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. 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. We have been supporting the pre-Odyssey and post-Odyssey codebases since.
Update 11 Now Live
Greetings Commanders,
Today we launched Update 11 for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, adding some exciting features for our players, such interior environments to Drake-Class Carriers and a new Protect missions, offering players additional first-person combat challenges to complete.
Fleet Carrier Interiors
Players can now use Fleet Carriers as social hubs, enjoying the breathtaking first-person views of space while inside these mobile bases. Take a seat, have a pleasant ride and experience Fleet Carrier jumps from a completely new perspective.
