I own the game on Xbox One but rarely play it anymore. (All my friends on XBOX Live who bought ED have moved on)

I've got a brand new PS4 PRO here that I bought for Horizons Zero Dawn, so I am sure ED would run pretty nicely on that console but...

Without the ability to "Transfer" your account progress from one platform to another, I am just not interested in starting this game from scratch for a third time. Not when I have over 20 weeks of progress on my PC version. I know I would never play the PS4 version just to say I am playing it.

Frontier needs to take a page from RockStar with GTA5 and give players the ability to MIGRATE their save data from one platform to another when they purchase a new copy of ED for another platform.

I own GTA5 on all three gaming platforms, (PC, PS4 and XB1) and I play all of them pretty much equally with different groups of online friends who may not own the game on PC, or choose to play it on XB1 or PS4 for whatever reason. I can join them regardless of platform and my progress is more or less the same on all three. Same amount of $$, same cars, same aircraft etc.

ED needs to have the same option now that it is available on the same three major gaming platforms.

Until that happens, I have zero interest in buying ED for my PS4 PRO.

I'm sure there are a lot of ED/PC players out there with a TON of hours invested that feel the same way. If Frontier wanted to maximize their sell through with the PS4, they would be wise to seriously consider making account transfer/migration a reality. And Soon!

P.S. And if they are worried about PS4 Noobs getting owned by PC migrators... Then hold off offering the migration option for a month or two in order to give new PS4 players a chance to catch up with ship tech etc.

I have quite a bit of time invested in my Xbox Commander, but to be honest I'm quite excited at the prospect of starting again on my PS4 Pro, which is my primary console anyway.

To me, its like being able to relive the excitement all over again, but this time with the foreknowledge of the stupid mistakes i made the first time out.

Personally I think its better that everyone starts a fresh at the start, well -ish, still got the advantage of hours of experience.
I'm looking forward for an excuse to start again, I would much rather start again but I could understand you not wanting to start again for a third time.

So is it dead on XBOX? Is it the same as PC on xbox? How is the controller?

Since I only play on PC and I already own Elite... this announcement just sounds like the Devs have been letting themselves get distracted with a port. Really hope this isn't slowing down development on the real game.

If you guys need money, you can save 1000's of man-hours by just adding more paint jobs for the ships with only the basic primary color options.
