Looks like a big phat no all accounts right now. I'm so ed. I started playing again in Feb thinking 'new era' or whatever it was called would be coming to PS5. I thought the timing of the new release was perfect... yes, nextgen will be here, look how they have timed the update. Excited!

Well !

While I do like what's planned so far - I'm still mostly can't be arsed. :/ I'll be getting a PS5 and leaving Elite behind if it does not run. I think / hope it will though.

I have a sinking feeling, as a human I am constantly moving forwards in life, life is progression.

So I upgrade to a PS5 and fly off into the sunset, leaving my once sparkly PS4 ELITE in my wake... But can I take my old floppy ELITE with me to the blinging next gen?

If no, then surely they will likely lose clients over this, who on console would hang around in the past and not embrace the future?!

Resistance is futile!

Try drawing blood from a stone. There's more chance of that considering how bad Frontier messed the PS community about with years long string along with the Cobra MK4.

I hear you can play PS4 games on PS5, so that is what will happen.
Why write something new? It's not very FD.
Planetary mining, base-building and spacefins (paid add-ons) will happen before any avoidable effort is made.

Maybe they'll print a new box.

"No plans to port Elite Dangerous to PS5"

Update on PS5 release day 12-Nov-2020: Elite runs on the PS5 in backwards compatibility mode, 1080p 60FPS. Of the new consoles, Elite will only support 4K on the XBox Series X, according to Frontier. This is because there is no native version, only backwards compatibility. Frontier had recently...

No to all of them?

No to a Cobra Mk IV ever. Get over it.

Frontier will support the PS5 certainly with the PS4 version working on it. They are not going to lose customers per a hardware upgrade unless they are idiots. They are not. Adding more hi-rez features to an ED PS5 version is the goal. Let's see what the Devs do. Still only one HOTAS for the PS4 so eye candy is the best for now.

It is more about Sony with better controllers to make ED great. We'll see.

  • In addition to generic Cross Platform Play / Cross Save? : will PS4 Commanders be able to play online with PS5 Commanders?
  • Will PS4 Commander progress transfer across to PS5? (including Arx, credits, engineering, etc.)
  • Will the same Commander account be available and playable on PS4/PS5 platforms simultaneously?
  • Will Digital purchases of Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous Horizons persist from PS4/PS5?

I hope Frontier Development team is reading this forum.
Would it be possible to get a child friendly mode in Odyssey where the game turns off all the gory combat situations? I love Elite dangerous and have no problem if my kids shoot down space ships but shooting down humanoids in combat mode, that I am not happy about. There is enough person to person shooter games already. I am not against the combat mode, I just want to be able to turn that aspect off for above reasons.

Don’t land on a planet and let your kids play is the most obvious answer - I can’t see them adding a kid mode to Odyssey.
