You get a free ED + Horizons game with your transfer, so you can continue on pc if you want for free. If you want, you can buy EDO for it. No clue how this is anything other than generous...Oh yes, because horizion isn’t free since a long time
when someone should buy elite on consoles, there is no split on the versions. You have just only horizon. Fairly spoken, this is no goody to me.
but glad for the few console cmdrs, that they can transfer their accounts🫠
Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
When we transferred my son from PS to PC, we had to create the PC account first for them to add the credits to.
So …Yeh … I think I will at least raise a request to do this, once they say the new transfer process is available, as I’d like to keep the same CMDR name (I am similarly “tolm” on both) and not lose 2 billion credits!!
If I was a console commander, I'd would be questioning my desire to return after taking a look at that roadmap...
As a PC commander, the road map is disappointing to say the least, as there will be no appreciable content released until early 2023 (the nature of which is mostly unknown). This feels like 2019 all over again, this time without the promise of a "new era" or giant expansion on the horizon.
While the game is not dead, it doesn't seem alive either, and it seems like it can go either way here. I can only hope that the narrative aspect of the rest of the year can keep the player base interested.
I will be popping back into the game from time to time to see what's what.

I am not sure why it's not been listed as an option.....
Everything you already bought comes with you. Only your renaining Arx doesn't. If you want you can spend them before the transfer and bring whatever you buy along.
It's a pretty boring roadmap, but committing to stability/optimization is exactly what the game needs even if it doesn't look sexy on a roadmap.
I wonder if the key feature overhaul is the horizons engineering rebalance there was a feedback thread on ages ago or something else.

And that's my conundrum.
My PC, XB, and PS cmdrs all have the same handle. My PS cmdr far exceeds my other two in assets, ranks, and light years. My PC cmdr was created back when ED launched.
When all is said and done, I want my PS cmdr brought over to PC with the handle intact.
So as not to alienate 1/3rd of the player base, a pathway is being made to restore their functionality in most if nor all it's entirety onto another platform after deciding to abandon development on existing platform.
I would call that fair, not generous.

If you have a console and PC it's a free transfer and free PC account even if you don't buy Odyssey but, allows you access to Odyssey if you want. It's win win really regardless of feelings for future content.
I mean honestly I have to agree, even if you don't plan on returning, i would still take advantage of the transfer and let your commander "die" on the pc platform just on the outside chance something happens and you want to return. Because the transfer is time limited, better to make the jump and leave your options open than risk closing the door on assets you might want or need later.
It's even better: You can end up with 2 FCs or a new FC and the amount of credits raised by decomissioning the console FC.
Well done, FDev, a way to double credits instantly, with your blessing!
Can you think of any other example where a studio gave away their game for free just because they didn't release a dlc on another platform?
The transfer is fair, the free game is generous.
You're sure of that? because the text written is a bit ambiguous, "Cosmetic items applied through the Livery (ships and Fleet Carriers) and Holo-Me will remain applied." that just sounds to me like the livery already on my ships wont suddenly disappear, not that your library will be there. That's why I want some confirmation.
Does this console to pc transfer also include a pc that can run Odyssey?
For console players who own a capable pc already this transfer looks pretty okay, for those don't or can't afford a new pc there is no good news at all.
No way you look at it, console players were screwed over imho.
With this roadmap as presented I see no reason at all to purchase a new pc.
Frontier's incompetence in managment has taken all trust I had in them, no way I'm gonna invest again in one of their products.

Yes, the roadmap looks like it was done by a kid who did his homework in the hallway before class started.
But I just want to keep flying.
And given a choice between flying with my main cmdr on a platform with zero developer movement (console) and tectonically slow and unpredictable movement (PC), I'll transfer and keep flying.
Even if FDev would release, lets say, the Panther Clipper today, yes... lots of people would login, travel to Jameson Memorial and buy one and then fly it around for a bit and log out. The reason many have taken a long break from ED is because they have put thousands of hours into it and can't be bothered with endgame group activities such as BGS or PowerPlay. They have reached all goals there is, and do not want to deal with the onfoot gameplay at all.
If those people are the "most" or not is very hard to know, especially if you are not in an active group that does PP or BGS.
I've been part of Delta Squadron (PMF) for years at this point and that has helped me A LOT to stay with the game and enjoy it for what it is at face value.
PlayStation to pc transfer, new today from Frontier, was music to my ears! 
However, as I already have (in addition to my PlayStation version) a PC version of Horizons, it would be much better if FDEV would at least allow the credit balances to be merged, even if the ships and other commander assets could not. That way I could liquidate all my pc assets prior to doing the merge. That would at least make the merge transfer decision that much more palateable.
What do you say FDEV - any chance of that happening?
please say you will at least consider it.
