Elite Dangerous has continued for many years with its own unique, loyal cast. With the Odyssey, he intended to maintain this situation while expanding his audience. But it didn’t work out as expected, the account at home didn’t fit the market.
Following the arrival of this large-scale supplement, the game literally crashed, attracting intense criticism from players. It has a “Mostly Negative” (30%) review on Steam with a total of 5,218 reviews. Given that the main game is still at the “Mostly Positive” (76%) level with 56,965 reviews, it is clearer how serious the situation is.
These reactions, of course, did not escape the attention of the developer team. They issued messages of apology, saying they would do everything in their power to resolve the issues as soon as possible, but he has yet to recover. They then decided to postpone the arrival of the Odyssey on consoles and collect the PC version beforehand.
The announcement text,signed by David Braben, founder and CEO of Frontier Developments on the game’s forum page, says that many players understand their discontent and anger, listen to the community and consider returns.
They are reassessing the current situation and plans for the upcoming period and prioritizing the recovery of the PC version, the statement said. In other words, it was more reasonable for them to fix the errors on the platform they were exiting and make the necessary corrections, and then to bring them to new platforms, and they decided to continue as such. They added that they think properly correcting the PC version of the game will allow them to provide a better experience on the platforms on which it will then debut.
No timetable has been shared for the Odyssey’s launch on other platforms, but plenty of updates are in place in the coming months. If they can pull it together, if they can, how long will it take, we will get the answers to such questions together in the coming period.
