Console Update

I don't recall ED being split into two separated codebases back then like it is right now with EDH and EDO.
I think You are missing a point here.
This hurts, and in honesty, sucks. Hopefully this leads to a better future though.
There's GeForce NOW: you can use the Steam version of the game to play it. You can use the free tier, or pay something like 9-10$/month.
But why ?
No rank progression , no new ships srv. I have a few months in game time so done a little bit . But this whilst expected ( at least last gen ) is a huge kick in the unmentionables. Why would I put any more effort in . You couldn't even be bothered to look into bringing those who wanted to buy a PC to port all across ?
It's been fun since my speccie days and I thank you for that .
While this is obviously disappointing news for console players, Horizons will live on, and Horizons is a great game.
Streamlining the scope to ED:O should bring valuable resources together, advancing the progress of ED:O in a controlled, manageable way, and presumably result in a higher quality product.
The decision makes sense to me.

No odyssey for consoles.
o7 to my console commanders. While I'm sure nobody is happy about this (most of all Frontier) if it's what is best for the game long term I understand. I'm on PC so while this has little to no effect on me, I'm sad to see us have to leave so many by the wayside.
Unfortunate but completely understandable as the 8th Gen consoles are nearing a decade old. Not very feasible to try to make it work, instead of moving on.
Hopefully Elite Dangerous and it's expansions will come to next generation consoles in a few years perhaps.
For now, I really hope Fdev will work on making it possible for consolers to transfer their accounts to PC

Was this the internal question needed to be answered, the reason given for lack of communication? Is the way now cleared to return to published plans and interaction with the community?
Just like macOS users could continue to play the base game when Horizons came out. Until ...... they were kicked out.
Well, there goes my x-box account. Pity. I suspected this was on the cards when the updates weren't improving the framerate enough to make Odyssey run at an acceptable fps on X-box / PS4 equivalent PCs. I suspect that one of the reasons for the comms blackout was they were trying to get Odyssey running on consoles but it turned out that it was too tough a nut to crack. After Cyberpunk, I suspect there's no way Odyssey would have made it through console certification process with a low fps. I'm sorry that console only players have had this news and I do hope that fdev will offer a transfer service for any console player to PC, if they they want to continue with Odyssey.
Now that this is out the way, I hope that we're going to start getting comms and news about the future developments.

Why not?
I had great time on my XB in the last year, even tho i had also played EDO on PC.
I even got top25% in the last Colonia Bridge CG that finished today.
Yeap, this
Although i'm really wondering if the codebase for PC will be merged and the PC players get the EDO client
So we will have EDO on PC (without the current split of the PC player base) and Horizons on Consoles
And now Silicon is hands down the most powerful platform available. Oh, the irony…
