Elite Dangerous News

Greetings Commanders.

As you will be now aware, the Elite Dangerous servers are offline to accommodate the deployment of 4.0.
At the moment, the servers are scheduled to return by early afternoon BST.

You can follow along release progress in the following official thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-4-0-release-tracker.608133/

We will, however, release a launch post as soon as 4.0 is available to all.

Greetings Commanders.

As many of you are aware, we’ve outlined our plans to enable Commanders the option to launch Horizons and Odyssey, both as version 4.0, available for all PC players.

This means that all Commanders entering into the Galaxy on 4.0 versioning for Horizons and Odyssey (already 4.0) will be able to engage in the Aftermath narrative phases, enjoy four-player multicrew, see the graphical and UI improvements and much more!

To recap our latest statements:

Now, the other important bits...

• Our schedule for release of the updated versioning to 4.0 for Horizons and Odyssey is planned for tomorrow.
  
• Exact information on Server Downtime will be available as part of an additional release of information, early tomorrow morning (Approx 9am BST).

We're excited for this next step in the Horizons and Odyssey experience!
