ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Horizons Set to Land for All Commanders

[Stephen Benedetti]

Greetings Commanders,



We are happy to announce that Elite Dangerous: Horizons will become a free update for the base game on the 27 October 2020 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox users.


After the fold down, anyone who owns Elite Dangerous will get access to Horizons content and features free of charge, and all future purchases of Elite Dangerous will include this content.


As a huge thank you to everyone who has purchased Elite Dangerous: Horizons over the past four years you will be receiving an exclusive Azure ship paint job compatible with ALL ships currently in the game.

Elite Dangerous: Horizons brings planetary landings to the Elite Dangerous galaxy, together with weapon crafting, ship-launched fighters and exhilarating multicrew co-op action. This premium expansion also allows players to put wheels on the ground and explore the galaxy up-close with the SRV Scarab ground vehicle, and access to many surface star ports and other locations


Elite Dangerous: Horizons will remain on sale on all platforms until 26 October to allow players a last chance to obtain the exclusive Horizon owner reward.

No CMDRs left behind

WOW! Awesome move! This will bring parity among the commanders which would make moving to Odessey that much simpler! And that paintjob looks fabulous.

Awesome update!

 

[WKJezz]

Great news, good to all be on the same "foot" before Odyssey launches.

 

[CMDR Exorcist]

Exciting! Another day and another step closer to Odyssey! o7!

 

[thistle]

Great move!

 

[Craith]

a great way to get everyone on the same level before the expansion, and avoid further separation of people once the expansion hits!

 

[Dommarraa]

Excellent news.
However, what about using the "Load Non-Horizons" to get out of glitchy SRV situations ? I hope there is another solution provided or Support will have a LOT of admin to do every day.

 

[Darkman Returns]

Smart and logical move to put everyone on the same page.

 

[Hangerhead]

Nice move - assume it ensures a common baseline/platform for the Odyssey deployment.

Azure - noice.

Will FDev remove vanilla access from the Client though? Cause its an escape hatch for people stuck on the surface.

I guess it will all stay the same as it is now, you just get the Horizon DLC assigned your your Steam or Frontier account.
