ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey PC Launch Date

[Bruce G]

Greetings Commanders,

We're delighted to announce that the PC version of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey will launch on Steam, Epic Games Store and the Frontier Store on May 19th!

Your feedback during the alpha period has been invaluable and made this release date possible. We'll continue collecting your feedback throughout the upcoming alpha phase 4 and beyond launch as we work on further improvements and content updates.

Console development continues behind the scenes with an Autumn release still on schedule.

There's still time to pre-order Odyssey and get your hands on the exclusive Pioneer suit skin. The Deluxe version of the pre-order is also still available for those who want to hop into the alpha which is expected to end on April 30th.

We'll see you on foot planet-side!

Great news, thank you! Many of us are stoked for it, it's been awesome testing the alpha so far.
And I love how you split it up into focused phases so it was easier for us all to focus on the right things in testing. Much love to all of the teams for all their hard work so far!

Amazing news, thank you Frontier! Looking forward to playing the full game. A lot!

 

[Rubbernuke]

Great news with the release date.

Does this mean that on release the PC requirements revert back to the Horizons spec?

 

[Shanaeri]

That's not much time.....

 

[Marcus]

Odyssey releasing on my Birthday - how kind!

Congrats! What a nice present

That's sooner than I expected, and with no beta either. I worry that it'll be too soon, with less than a month to go from now... but I guess we'll see.

 

[Woolies]

Fantastic news on the release date!! Congrats to all of the team at FDev for making this a reality ... and thanks to the community for all the work in Alpha already and going forward to make EDO the best of experiences o7

 

[zimms]

That's sooner than I thought. Looking forward to the optimized experience.

Looking forward to Autumn....

 

[Sir.Tj]

Noice.... Very noice...

 

[Kzak]

That is sooner than I had hoped - Odyssey needs more time for bugfixing and polishing. But, I don't make the decisions, and will enjoy the DLC regardless!

 

[CMDR Reaper]

Awesome. Sooner than I expected.

Can't wait to experience the new atmospheric worlds and get out on foot. And see how it performs with my new RTX3080+1440p monitor

 

[StuartGT]

Thanks for the news! The launch date appears... rushed? Jumping from Alpha to launch, will the release be flagged as beta or early access?

 

[danteuk]

Cool, I wonder how the dev's feel about this date.

Issue Tracker:
4230 unconfirmed issues.
120 confirmed

So that's 16/17 working days to process 4000+ issues and fix all the ones that are real, non-duplicated issues.

Not to mention the EAP(Early Access Program)/Alpha/Beta/whatever they want to call it - still has another 7/8 days left.
And we haven't even started on the compatibility testing of Phase 4 yet.

I admire their confidence.

PS: Cyberpunk 2077 was still fun and I completed it a couple of times - before the massive patch that fixed a few thousand bugs - just saying

 

[AgentK]

No Beta?

 

[LKx]

Sooner than expected ... Good luck with the launch day!
