The game's premium currency, called ARX, also can't move from console to PC.įrontier canceled future console updates for Elite Dangerous in March after spending months trying to improve the performance of its latest expansion - Odyssey - which only launched on PC. This method can take two weeks and involves transferring billions of in-game credits per player.

Frontier suggests that players decommission the transports before the transfer and then use their refunds to re-buy them on PC. Notably, fleet carriers won't survive the transfer. Players also will have to rename their characters after the transfer. Unfortunately, their squad memberships, friends lists, and mission progress will reset. Players will retain all their ships, land vehicles, avatars, inventories, reputation, ranks, permits, codex discoveries, engineering progress, guardian tech broker progress, crew progress, and cosmetics. Last week, the developer explained which items players can transfer to PC. It hasn't revealed how or when this will happen other than it will be a limited-time offer. This week, Frontier confirmed that those who own Elite Dangerous for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One could receive a free PC copy. The company also laid out some of its plans for the sandbox space simulator. What just happened? Weeks after canceling future development on the console versions of Elite Dangerous, Frontier Developments has revealed how console players can move most of their progress to PC.
