Elite Dangerous[a] is an online space flight simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. The player commands a spaceship and explores a realistic 1:1 scale, open-world representation of the Milky Way galaxy, with the gameplay being open-ended. The game is the first in the series to attempt massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining a single-player mode. Elite Dangerous is the fourth game in the Elite video game series. It is the sequel to Frontier: First Encounters,[9] released in 1995.
By November 2012, Frontier began a Kickstarter campaign for ED due to the inability to secure a publisher. The game was released by Frontier for Windows in December 2014,[1] with the macOS version later released in May 2015. The Xbox One version was fully released in October 2015.[10] The PlayStation 4 version launched on 27 June 2017. ED has additionally supported most Virtual reality headsets on PC.[11]
Downloadable content for the game, Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, was released on 18 May 2021. The DLC allows players to land on planets and move around in first person, as well as engaging in first-person shooter gameplay.[12] By September 2022, sales of the base game passed 4.8 million units.[12]
