It's time for a brand new Discovery Scanner, where we catch up on any news of the past week, and look ahead to the coming week.
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.
Elite Dangerous - 4.0.11.1 Update Notes
Greetings Commanders,
A patch is due to go live this afternoon at 14:00 UTC to implement the changes listed below. Downtime is expected to last around 30 minutes. These changes follow feedback and issue reports after the release of Update 11:
Elite Dangerous - 4.0.11 Update Notes
Greetings Commanders,
Update 11 has arrived! Since Elite Dangerous’ inception, Commanders yearned to stand and walk on planets throughout the Milky Way which Odyssey has delivered. Now it’s time to sit down once again, put those feet up, and enjoy one of the most glorious views in the game from the inside: a Fleet Carrier jump.
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.
