Mine just did. As for yours I don't think anybody knows until Frontier release more information.
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
We're talking about no VR on foot right?
Flight down to the planet will still be in VR won't it?
Just watching all the usual voices of dissent tear apart every great thing we see and can't imagine that as soon as you get to a planet with atmosphere of any sort the game will flip out and go pancake...

I need to correct you here, it's absolutely NOT difficult to implement in VR. The game is already rendered in VR, and already supports gamepads. What is difficult or a challenge is full room scale which frankly is not needed in elite anyway.
No. It is like a new game with no VR support. I know ridiculous isn't it?
No, we're talking about no VR support at launch...
None, Nada, Nix... Pancake only...
Well all i can say about this announcement is well done Frontier, and i for one am super stoked and have started counting down the days to early 2021 already.
As a day one player i mean 1984 i have been through thick and thin with Elite and Elite Dangerous and feel FDEV have done us proud through the years and we should be appreciative for what we have as the game we currently have is massive and beautiful with no shortage of things to do, especially as part of a successful large squadron and all the BGS work i could play 24 hrs a day apart from work and wife stopping me i have to make do with a few hours a day.
Stop moaning everyone and enjoy what we have or move on to another game................ oh no i forgot you cant as no other game has the depth or game play of elite so just stop moaning lol.
Everyone on this thread will be downloading Odyssey on day 1 even the people with negative comments with the exception of a few VR Troopers and i get where you guys are coming from as the game is great as it is so just wait until its available in VR and it will be.
Anyway Its a big thumbs up from me keep up the good work Frontier

Haven't kept up with the rest of this topic. I would assume we can fly down to planets as normal, however exiting the ship (like entering the SRV) will be restricted, the option could be greyed out when running in VR.

I'm probably not alone in thiking about subscribing to Star Citizen's forums, and encouraging them to support VR. I think the competition might Whet CIG's appetite.
my guess: to get to graphics like in Trailer FD needs to implement a new Gra-Engine and that one isn´t ready for VR (yet?).....
Thanks Tim,
Could you please clarify if you're talking about all aspects of odyssey (ie. Also New planet vistas viewed from ship or srv) or only the fps / spaceleg part?
Tim,
Not compatible at launch, explain this. Are you says no VR at all or just for the Elite feet part?

Uh huh. Then why all the "moaning" if it's just a few scant elements of the player base?
What utter nonsense!
Trium
They are not dropping VR. It just will not be in Odyssey at launch. I think this is been clarified many times in this thread.
You can control a ship in VR with mouse. You can control an SRV turret in VR with mouse. I don't see why you can't make an FPS shooter that uses VR and mouse in the exact same way you already did twice...
All that would be different is you'd need an aim dot that's more responsive than turret servos and ship thrusters.
I could understand there's a lot more complication involved with creating a VR controller system, but if you're going to hold back on VR support, you should hold back on the controller aspect of it, not the part you already made that works.
They could have done it easily I suppose if they hadn't tied it to the space legs update.
The info is that you will not be able to launch ED Odyssey in VR mode i.e. no 3D HMD option. Therefore you won’t be able to fly down to these newly available planets in VR, you will be limited to using Horizons as it is now.
LOL. The problem is the whiny noisy 3% destroying all the threads, including the concept art thread. Can't even discuss the concept art.
This is a complete deal breaker for me.
I pre-ordered an Oculus Rift, and have continually invested in the latest VR technology, expressly to play Elite Dangerous in VR. I've continued to develop EDDI for 4+ years, solely because Elite Dangerous in VR maintained my interest.
Everybody else? You do you, but I, for one, will NOT buy the Odyssey upgrade until it's returned to being VR compatible.
Stepping back from being a premiere VR title, with a rich history of VR support, is unacceptable. Put me in the 'Severely Disappointed' camp.
Here's to hoping that they reconsider this ill-conceived decision and/or commit additional resources to play 'catch-up' and release VR compatibility shortly after launch.

Odyssey is not compatible with VR at Launch...
I guess that means exactly what it says on the tin, sorry.
