ED says Farewell to Game Pass at the end of August.
Farewell to all consoles I would guess.
Which would be a valid step.
Which would be a valid step.
Perhaps having a game that is inferior to the Windows version isn't attractive for the Game Pass?
Gee,I wonder why ???
The community certainly isn't inferior, and Frontier abandoned those too. Try to find the last time a Frontier employee posted in the Xbox forum. I've got all day.
Just saw that this morning. Not interested in paying $30 for a game in maintenance mode on the console. It was fun while it lasted.
correct me if im wrong but isn't the console transfer simply and entirely within Frontier of one account (linked to xbox) to another account (linked to PC) which means access on gamepass is irrelevant, we would just need the frontier account credentials to allow the transfer to take place?
When I transferred from PS to Xbox a couple of years ago I had to have the ID number at the bottom at the start page (I forget what they call it, CID maybe?) to connect the two accounts. If it is all within Frontier I'd still recommend writing that number down before you lose access to it on Gamepass, just in case.
I guess we won't know, is it a matter of Elite not renewing the contract with Gamepass in an attempt to move away from consoles or is it Gamepass not renewing the contract due to no further development?
Inara also has access to the Frontier ID num if you link accounts there, so that may be enough of a backup as well.
FYI: the FID number on the xbox client (7 alphanumerical) load screen is NOT the same as the linked Frontier ID number (7 numerals) as reported by Inara.
I feel like there are quite a few questions that we would need answers from Frontier on how this all would work. If your account is through Gamepass you haven't really bought the license to the game, so why would they give us a free PC license? So then, do you have to pay the $30 to buy the game to have the license, then transfer to PC next month when they offer transfers? To me, that seems to be the most likely scenario if you're transferring to PC. If I don't buy the game after it's off Gamepass is my FID no longer active and eligible for a transfer (until I buy the game)? I don't know, all questions for Frontier to answer, but as someone else mentioned, the Xbox forum seems to have been ghosted by the CM's.
The most players does'nt know it. (includes me)
Yes, that happened in the macOS forum. Until the 'with a heavy heart' post of course.

FID does match on that web site to in game menu..
So to prove you own the account you have to log in with console account there, get the FID and then fill in the web page...
That will show Fdev that the account is Live and linked and that you're not just after a free game by Using the Physical disc on the console that been handed round at work..

Yeah it's realy heartwarming to see how much the console community means to them.
I'm still gutted when I think about how they just threw us out the window.
They were so proud to welcome Xbox and PS to the club but halfway down the line, when things get a bit tough, they just drop us aside and never look back, I realy got no words......
Never ever will I buy a Frontier product again and recommend all my friends to stay away from them.
