Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Console Release Delayed Until the PC Version is Fixed

A few weeks dorsum Frontier released Elite Unsafe: Odyssey, and the response to the expansion has been mixed, to say the least. Odyssey'due south new on-foot missions have been hampered by glitches, poor performance, and other issues. Frontier has been trying to bring the experience up to snuff via updates, only it seems like they've got a lot of piece of work alee of them, as today company founder David Braben announced the panel versions of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey have been indefinitely delayed while they focus on fixing the game on PC…

The pregnant amount of updates and development effort that has been washed to set up and improve bug since the launch of Elite Unsafe: Odyssey has meant piece of work on our panel release has not progressed as quickly equally we had hoped. What's more, nosotros can meet that the strides nosotros have made through the last v major updates are positive, just we must proceed on with this progress to give the experience that you and we expect on PC.

With those things in listen, we have spent a lot of time discussing and re-evaluating our previous plans and nosotros have made the conclusion to prioritise the cadre PC experience for Elite Dangerous. Ultimately, nosotros believe it is right to focus our efforts on the core Elite Dangerous Odyssey feel for the platforms that we take released on, before opening upwards to more. We know that the work that we practise to improve players' experiences of Elite Dangerous Odyssey on PC will benefit other platforms in the future, merely the dates and details of the console platforms are going to change. We do not want to blitz into confirming any dates or changes this has on our panel release, equally nosotros must remain fully focused on the cadre Aristocracy experience.

Braben promises more patches for Elite Unsafe: Odyssey in the months alee, which will be detailed in monthly development updates. Update 6 is currently in the works.

Elite Unsafe: Odyssey is currently available for PC. No give-and-take on when the expansion will arrive on consoles, but it was originally slated for a holiday 2021 release, so expect it to slip to early 2022 at least.
