I did not have a PC to go to when PS support got dropped, needles to say i was angry and sad. Until i got hold of an old i3 4gig ram laptop with Win 10 and an HDMI out port- this is my platform now, al graphics go thru Nvidia’s GForce Now, full HD@60fps, straight into my tv. Runs like a peach, 10 bucks a month, happy camper
Come to PC if you can!

Forget that. Ps4 is where the hardcore commanders are. 120 a year to play ED. No.
Yea that's wild haha
The $120.00 a year investment, plus a time limit on how long you can play Elite Dangerous In a single session, was a deterrent to me. I am not being critical of people who want to play Elite Dangerous through GeForce Now. If they want to play the game that way then all the power to them and I fully support their decision.
As for myself, I would rather save my money and then purchase a high-end PC that could play Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.In fact, I could put the high-end PC on my credit card and simply pay $120.00 a month until the computer is paid off. Doing it this way not only allows me to play Elite Dangerous but also allows me to play games that are only on PC such as Eve Online or X4.
If you play outside of solo, you're already paying $80 a year.
Must admit that was the same thought process I went through, but I came to the opposite conclusion.
£120 a year to play elite, (and a number of other games on steam, including eve and my other favourite, nebulous fleet command), or pay for a gaming PC that I would have to upgrade etc. Even if a PC cost £1200 that's still a decade worth of GFN. It's the other benefits of GFN that swung it for me, ability to play on my xbox via edge, play on my phone even with a mouse and keyboard connected.
I still sometimes cancel my subscription to GFN occasionally when I haven't the elite bug, but carry on when I want.
I started ED on PS4 and changed to PC this summer. Was the best decision; the ED experience is much better, not only the graphics. Apart from this, it feels like on console, because I‘ve plugged my laptop to the TV and I play with controller.
Laptop is an Asus TUF F15 with RTX 4600, which cost me a bit over 1000 euros. No need to prepare the PC for gaming, like installing drivers or setting up configs - I remember that when I last played on PC 15 years ago. Just download ED, log in, play, enjoy.
