I’m a lifetime expansion pass holder – will I receive Odyssey free of any additional charge?

Can I play Odyssey in VR?
Odyssey will be compatible with VR and you’ll be able to enjoy the same fully-featured cockpit experience players have enjoyed in Elite Dangerous so far. When leaving the cockpit of your ship or SRV, VR players will see a projected screen on which they can continue their journey without removing their helmets. They may also remove their helmet if they choose. VR is only compatible with Elite Dangerous on PC.

We don’t have any imagery to share of this skin just yet but we’ll be sharing this very soon.

That's a very specific placeholder (Placeholders are usually end of month). Steam has leaked actual accurate release dates before on other games.

And you think Frontier would commit to a date that's that far off?

People often have highlighted various things from the Steam Db for Frontier games that have not come to anything that they had expected. Also the 21st is a Wednesday, which is a very odd day to release a game.

Until Frontier give a date themselves, then it's still Early 2021.

As long as you aren't planning to release Odyssey on the PS5 and XBox Series consoles.... would you please consider unlocking the graphics options on them, so that we can at least benefit from 4K resolution, and a High resolution texture pack, just as PC players with relatively less powerful hardware can already do today?
