Was it ever hinted just how long this process would remain open to console players ? I'm interested but probably won't buy a suitable PC before the end of the year.

“Our plan also remains in place for the Console migration to PC strategy, to also take place this coming September.”

This is neither news nor an update, it’s literally the same information we’ve had for months 😑
 
It is also confirmation that the plan is still on track, which is better than the alternative.
I know, I’m just getting impatient 😂

Since they announced the transfer I’ve only really logged in once in a while to check on my carrier or do some CGs. But I lucked out and managed to get a pretty decent PC about 3 months ahead of schedule and I’m itching to get stuck back into the game properly.
 
I would like to know if there will be a link that directs us to the process or do we have to contact the frontier service directly so that this is prohibited.

I would like this to be clear.

because I have not yet sent anything to frontier to inform them that I want the profile transfer

My guess is that they'll want to make the process as smooth as possible to retain as many players as they can.
For myself I was hoping to to have all my stuff ready for transfer by today but RL got in the way. As such there's still a couple of hours work to do but it doesn't look like it's happening today so that shouldn't be a problem.
 
Probably a stupid question but what if I don't have a PC at the time of transfer. Can I set up a PC account without a PC or is it game over for me?
 
Not yet but you can just go for it anyway & the PC account will be sitting there ready for when you eventually get a PC to use it on.
How would you set up a PC account without a PC? If you haven't guessed yes I'm computer illiterate and only want one because of the transfer

You'll need to register a frontier account, which you can do from your phone (or whatever device you access this forum from). Then when you (eventually) get a PC just download the installer & log in with your frontier account username & password.

Oh, ok so I can still take advantage of the transfer. I would have but didn't want to start again over 5,000 hrs would have been difficult to catch up on. Thank you

I don't envy your position, getting into PC gaming from a standing start is pretty complicated (and expensive), there are so many choices of hardware.

If you are looking for some advice on what PC hardware to buy ask in the PC section of this forum & there will be plenty who can help you to decide what to get. In general you get what you pay for - a cheap PC will not run games as well as a more expensive one, the trick is knowing where to prioritise the money and how much performance is enough for now, and for however long you hope to keep the thing for before upgrading again. Console life is considerably less complicated, just plug it in & play :D

See my above post, I am hoping that my extensive exploration/First Discovery stuff on PS will still count in the game so that when I do (or IF) move to PC, my discoveries are all there and so not wasted still playing on PS (even though just 3.8 and thus not all CG's will appear to me).
