Your next goal should be set up the save transfers to the PC version for other console players who want to continue their dangerous adventures. It's quite disappointing because you have mo issues with other mutli-platform games like F1 Manager or Jurassic World which clearly took many times and efforts to keep your investors happy. I bet this also means horizon players won't get the Panther Clipper LX or future new ships.
Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
As long as you're using a Windows machine.
Servers will remain on, you will still be able to play Horizons content.
Just for those acting as if they're destroying everything relating to consoles...
The console versions aren't being shut down and destroyed, they're just not going to get Odyssey and/or the 4.0 client. It sucks, yes, but you can still continue to play Horizons.
I work at a software company and this is the way. Once we streamlined our focus, we were able to make incredible leaps with our technology.
Actually, this is a very wise long-term decision and specifically does 'bode well' for future PC optimization. The entire point is to focus on a single code-base (PC).
My understanding is the console base is far less than half of the player base.
does this mean that we can't play it anymore from when? Or can we still fly around without receiving updates.... nvm, i have an answer already.
Well can't same I'm at all surprised, but I'm still disappointed. Time to uninstall finally.
You can continue playing Horizons content on console.
How long for though? The game barely runs as it is
Braben's message said console will continue, but only with critical updates going forward.
Nowhere is it mentioned that the servers will be shut down and Elite-console dead.
it is the final blow, on xbox a lot cmdrs all ready left , now the rest will follow. real shame.
Yeah, because that was the case when macOS development stopped.
Well theres years of playing down the drain, cant even transfer any progress except credits what a load of crock
