Elite Dangerous: Horizons Expansion Pass Access

Quite a lot of people are asking (myself included) whether they have access to the Expansion Pass as part of their original Kickstarter pledge.

I'd like to draw attention to this from the original Campaign page:

"The £80 pledge tier and higher now also includes free expansions for Elite: Dangerous! For more information on likely expansions check the Development Plan video further down the page."

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous/description

Hopefully this will help some people.

Can a Dev confirm/deny this, maybe sticky it so people can see it quickly?

That was true for Kickstart backers.

After the campaign FD were offering, independently, Alpha and Beta passes - what they included I do not know.

It's not as clear cut (and I fully expect some gnashing of teeth)

From memory, until the closing of the Backers' App (just before Alpha 1.0 was released in early December 2013), the same pledge tiers (most of them, anyway) were still available. This changed with the opening of the store.

I already own Elite: Dangerous, what am I entitled to?





I'm an Alpha backer! What do I get?

Alpha backers are invited to participate in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons beta and will automatically get access to the full series of expansions the moment they are released! This includes those who bought Alpha access via the store before we launched the game.




I'm a Premium Beta backer, do I get access Elite Dangerous: Horizons?

Yes! Premium Beta owners can access the Elite Dangerous: Horizons beta as well as the full release.




I have the Standard Beta version of Elite: Dangerous, what do I get?

Elite Dangerous: Horizons is a brand new set of expansions for Elite: Dangerous but is not included in the standard beta package. You can purchase beta access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons on the Frontier Store if you'd like to help us test it!



I'm a Lifetime Expansion Pass holder, do I get access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons?

Absolutely. You're entitled to every expansion we release for Elite: Dangerous!




Do I also get to try the beta of Elite Dangerous: Horizons?

Yes. The Lifetime Expansion Pass also grants access to the beta of the Elite Dangerous: Horizons expansion season when it's available.




I didn't pick up the lifetime expansion pass during the Kickstarter, is it available again?

Yes! The Lifetime Expansion Pass is available again with the announcement of Elite Dangerous: Horizons. You can find more info on the Frontier Store. It not only grants access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons and the beta but also any future expansions we release.

Can I purchase beta access into the Elite Dangerous: Horizons expansion?
You certainly can, you can purchase beta access for it via our store which will also get you access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons upon release.

I'm now glad I paid the £35 for the Elite: Dangerous - Expansion Pass when it was on offer last year, it was a gamble that paid off looking at the potential costs now!
