@sallymorganmoore Can I ask why we have not yet had an optimised version released for the series X & S, its bad enough we still have no communication as regards space legs for consoles, but not even bothering to do optimisations is just…..
Is you name sallymorganmoore? No its not, are you an employee of fdev? No your not, can you answer this question with accuracy? No you cannot, Can you ask the dev team for the answer to this question? No you cannot!concentrating on pc 1st, once they are happy with that consoles comes next

I know thats the stand on space legs but that should not be the stance on all things console
Greetings Commanders.
With the release of Update 5 on 1st July plus a few smaller server updates since, and Update 6 currently in development, I wanted to take a moment of your time to talk about the next steps for Elite Dangerous.
We are aware and fully accept the frustration that many of our players have had with their experience of Elite Dangerous Odyssey. The community have spoken, we have heard the feedback clearly and we will act on that feedback.
As you may remember in our recent development article, the significant amount of updates and development effort that has been done to fix and improve issues since the launch of Odyssey has meant work on our console release has not progressed as quickly as we had hoped. What’s more, we can see that the strides we have made through the last five major updates are positive, but we must continue on with this progress to give the experience that you and we expect on PC.
With those things in mind, we have spent a lot of time discussing and re-evaluating our previous plans and we have made the decision to prioritise the core PC experience for Elite Dangerous. Ultimately, we believe it is right to focus our efforts on the core Elite Dangerous Odyssey experience for the platforms that we have released on, before opening up to more. We know that the work that we do to improve players’ experiences of Elite Dangerous Odyssey on PC will benefit other platforms in the future, but the dates and details of the console platforms are going to change. We do not want to rush into confirming any dates or changes this has on our console release, as we must remain fully focused on the core Elite experience. Only when we feel that the foundation of the PC release is solid, will we be able to re-lay our console roadmap on top.
Elite Dangerous Odyssey is an important step on a complicated journey, and we must get this right, before we can consider moving on to these new platforms.
So what does this actually mean for Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous Odyssey?
It means that we will see more game updates over the coming months. We will continue to work through Issue Tracker, fix bugs and improve performance, but we will also be able to explore and add additional features, content and improvements into the game.
We will continue to give open monthly development updates where we discuss WIP content, challenges, the issue tracker and more. We know that the previous levels of detail for the roadmap and developer update have not met expectations, but we are grateful for your patience while we shift and adjust plans, in the face of such clear feedback.
Please remember that our team here at Frontier are working hard to support the game and our community. Behind every bug fix, design decision and community post is a person who cares a lot about giving our players best possible experience. I would ask that everyone remains calm and respectful when sharing their thoughts and feedback.
We all have the same goal and we will get there, together. Please bear with us.
o7 Commanders.
And I think you need to go get your eyes tested or learn to read, my question has nothing to do with with odyssey which the above statement was solely focused on!Ain't you sweet.
Odyssey Going Forwards

That's a thread from David Braben CEO of Frontier Developments and he said.....
I highlighted the relevant part.
And I think you need to go get your eyes tested or learn to read, my question has nothing to do with with odyssey which the above statement was solely focused on!
No. Just as they have also said Odyssey is scheduled for release on Xbox One and PS4[1].Did FDev ever say a next gen console optimized version of Horizons was on any roadmap, or is this just a case of “where is my toy rocking horse” when no one ever said you were getting it in the first place?
The thing is...they answered you perfectly.Is you name sallymorganmoore? No its not, are you an employee of fdev? No your not, can you answer this question with accuracy? No you cannot, Can you ask the dev team for the answer to this question? No you cannot!
Then your saying the company doesn’t give a….. about the console community at all, even when it comes to things not space legs, and on the subject of legs there is no qualification of what stable is as regards pc build and then porting across.The thing is...they answered you perfectly.
The silver lining is at least you guys get 4K support on Xbox. I know it's little comfort to you right now but, in a way the Series X is already benefitting quite nicely. Unfortunately for the PlayStation side while the PS5 does benefit too, it's stuck in the year 2017 running at 1080p.Then your saying the company doesn’t give a….. about the console community at all, even when it comes to things not space legs, and on the subject of legs there is no qualification of what stable is as regards pc build and then porting across.
your on what updates 8 is it now. If you can make it stable enough after that many updates, you either need better staff or just give it up as a bad job, this was in development for years not a quick throw out, so begs the question of how can you produce such a disaster!
some there needs a set of… and make a decision
Not really due to the lack of optimised it still has problems running elite on the series xThe silver lining is at least you guys get 4K support on Xbox. I know it's little comfort to you right now but, in a way the Series X is already benefitting quite nicely. Unfortunately for the PlayStation side while the PS5 does benefit too, it's stuck in the year 2017 running at 1080p.
I really do hope both the Series and PS5 consoles get some love with Odyssey and I am sure if they do, that would end up in the Horizons update when the galaxy is merged back together.
If it will happen, only FDev know and so far they are not telling us.
Nope, not at all what I'm saying. Not sure you've seen any of my previous posts and answers over the months, but those should clear this impression up for you.Then your saying the company doesn’t give a….. about the console community at all, even when it comes to things not space legs, and on the subject of legs there is no qualification of what stable is as regards pc build and then porting across.
In order to make this kind of judgement you'd need to know exactly how development of Elite and release management works.your on what updates 8 is it now. If you can make it stable enough after that many updates, you either need better staff or just give it up as a bad job,
Again, this has all been discussed at length between myself and other commanders around this forum for months on end.this was in development for years not a quick throw out, so begs the question of how can you produce such a disaster!
