The space MMO Elite: Dangerous is currently exclusively available on consoles for the Xbox One for a limited time. However, this is only temporary, as studio head David Braben has now announced.
Today, news is circulating in Europe from last night that the PC version of Elite: Dangerous, which was released in December, will already come to the Xbox One this summer.
In the United States, they are a bit further along. David Braben, the head of Frontier Development, tweeted that the deal with Microsoft is a “time exclusive” for the Xbox One. Later, Elite: Dangerous is also to be released for other platforms, such as the PlayStation 4. A port for the Mac is already a given.
@smallfaraway_ Sure. Mac of course, then down the line we will support more, including PS4. The XB1 is a timed exclusive.
