Not really the Xbox version doesn’t have any of the new content I want to mess with and as I have maxed out my ranks unlocked all engineers and done all the engineering I want done, got every ship in the game and billions in credits I really want to get on with the new content. I bought odyssey on pc and started playing but then when I found out the account won’t merge with but replace the pc account I stopped playing as it seemed point less when my progress would be wiped. So I haven’t played for weeks but I really want too. So yes the game is still up but for me at least I cannot really play….

Greetings Commanders!

I know there is a separate thread on this as part of Discovery Scanner but I want to be a thorough as possible with what's to come regarding the Console Copy Portal opening tomorrow.
To reference mention of this, head on over to the news post here or see the discussion here.

As part of my Discovery Scanner post, I mentioned we would give you all a heads up on information around the launch of the portal itself ahead of time - my exact line being "We will follow up with the specifics, for example where to find the portal guide and how to access it ahead of time."

I just want to give you a heads up that the expected portal opening time is currently sat at "mid-morning BST" (so a window of around 10:00-11:00 our work time).
I'm afraid I've let you down a little in expectation in that this is all I have for you currently, until we jump in tomorrow morning to bring you the necessary links to the portal and help guide once available, however myself and Bruce will be on hand with you as we move.

We're excited to welcome our Console Commanders across to the Galaxy on PC side!

Don't forget, you can find the necessary info for all of the previous statements and FAQs in posts such as this one: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-profile-transfers-faq-and-expected-date.603979/

PLEASE don't forget the following (I can't stress this enough. It's keeping me awake):
  • Your original console profile will remain playable.
  • Only one profile may be copied per copy of Elite Dangerous.
  • This will be a one-time only process.
  • The portal will remain open for the foreseeable future and Commanders will be given plenty of advance warning prior to decisions on when the portal looks set to close.
Which elements of my console profile will NOT be copied to PC?
  • Your Commander name if it is already in use by another PC player. You will be given the chance to choose a new name as part of the process.
  • ARX Balance.
    • Please ensure that you purchase desired customisations before you complete the transfer.
    • Any unspent Arx will remain on your original console profile
  • Squadron membership.
  • Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups.
  • Current mission progress.
  • Fleet Carriers and their contents.
    • Fleet Carriers will not be copied over. Please decommission these ahead of going through the process so that your resulting Credit balance will be included.
    • Any modules will be decommissioned at the discounted rate if previously aquired as discounted and then repurchased at the full rate on the PC account.
    • This also applies for any discounted purchase Fleet Carriers.
We'll see you tomorrow, Commanders.
Big day.

[IMPORTANT EDIT!]
Due to some minor remaining tweaks, the opening of the Console Copy Portal is pushed to release this afternoon. I'll be here to keep you all updated!

Awesome, thank you for doing this. My PS4 playthrough has all my discoveries, credits, upgrades, etc. It'll be nice to finally get back to it in VR.

Ok maybe silly idea but why can't they transfer Oddessy to a new account retrospectively after the transfer, taking it off your old pc account, thus not wiping progress?

"This process isn't live just quite yet, but it should be soon.

When it is, it will be an automatic process that you need to go through via your account settings. More details will be revealed soon."

Soon....

Quick question, after seeing something in the forum. If I transfer my data over once the portal is open, will I still have to start again on the Odyssey version or am I able to use the data i'm moving over to start odyssey from where i am? (credit/discovery wise)

As far as I am aware anything you have done on on odyssey so far will be lost
