Thank you for the update...
Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Not going to lie, I expected as much ever since Odyssey release. Even if the game worked fine with the recommended spec on steam pages and elsewhere, it would have been barely enough for old gen console.
And it certainly doesn't work well at that specification (I have better and still have massive FPS drops at times, with CZ being around 30-40fps, and I'm at medium-high settings).
Still, I'm sorry for the console CMDR.

Yes, not really a surprise to those of us who have experienced Odyssey on PC this last year. Still a bitter blow to those with consoles who had not given up hope.
We're looking into potential options but right now we do not have anything to announce on transfers.
Not the best news, but I suppose I can at least stop saving up for a PS5 now.
For The Mug!!!

I second this, I have Odyssey on my PC and will likely not touch ED on PS anymore.
The "console-first UI" as you call it has been with Elite ever since and it's not (just) about consoles. PC users also use gamepads and joysticks. I wouldn't expect any changes there.
Thanks for the update, not what I wanted to hear.
However, thank you for the time I have spent in the elite universe, it's been a blast.

Cheers for that, it would be very much appreciated if that is something that could be done...
I like clarity. Clarity is good.
But although I am on the PC side of things, it feels like a leg has been amputated (so many players left behind). I believe the minimum is to offer them a PC account with free Odyssey.

I hope it wasn’t because of the picture I tweeted lord brebus.
as Elite should be. a Pc game, im sorry for the console community anyway.
Can the console players get the prestige ranks on exploration trade and combat ? Or will there be nothing
to be honest, games with such a long lifespan as Elite are not very good for consoles in the first place. While you can always upgrade your PC every couple of years, you cannot do so for consoles. So while Elite in 5 years time from now on can still run on PCs, it won't be able to run on "current gen consoles" like Xbox Series X/S or Playstation 5. In other words, the next big update for Elite will likely run into the very same problems Odyssey did, just with the current or even the next generation of consoles.
It really, really sucks for our console CMDRs and I honestly hope that there will be an unlimited option to transfer your console CMDRs to PC without ANY losses in terms of game progress (credits, engineers, assets etc.). And yes, switching to PC from console is going to suck even double considering the current state of our global economy
Ouch.. very ouch Baby
Ouch. Yeah, never saw this happening for console with all the issues getting it to run on PC. Still had the fingers crossed.
