"No plans to port Elite Dangerous to PS5"

[lonny2001]

"When we deal with those platforms, we want it to be special."

Well, mission achieved!

The business decision to ignore next gen consoles in favor of the almost 10 year old last gen consoles ... that worked not so well.
Odyssey should have been the PS5/Xbox SX version. No Odyssey on last gen. A full price game, with an 50$ upgrade option for last gen owners.

Acutally, why am I even wasting my time and energy on writing this? It's done. It's gone. It's history. Lights out.

The way they are going with their playerbase, it wouldn't surprise me if they took a leaf out of Microsoft's book and applied windows_11-esque nonsensical hardware requirements, "we are delighted to announce that Odyssey update 12 will be available next month for all users of 9th gen or later CPUs". That would be another good way they could whittle down their playerbase, which seems to be a core objective given how they've cut off Mac players, almost cut off, but after extreme pushback settled on sidelining VR players, now they've done the same to console players as they did to VR players. Not cool.
