Frontier Developments CEO David Braben revealed in a Reddit ask-me-anything session this week that Elite: Dangerous will be officially available on Microsoft's Xbox One on October 6, 2015. He also confirmed that the Horizons expansion, coming soon to the PC version of the game, will eventually make its way to the Xbox One.
Elite: Dangerous follows the path that the original Elite took back in 1984. Dangerous takes players through the massive Milky Way and its 400 billion star systems. The game screams "epic space adventure". Players start off with only a tiny spacecraft and limited funds and are ultimately forced to mold themselves into galactic warriors and ultimately join the Elite in outer space.
Unfortunately, not much else has been confirmed for the Xbox One release just yet. Braben has stated that he "does not know yet" if Xbox users will get season or lifetime passes for future downloadable content. At the moment, there is no concrete confirmation that PC players will be able to transfer their content and accounts to the Xbox One version of the game and vice versa, but Braben believes that it is likely in the future. There is no cross-play between the PC and Xbox One versions of the game.
Elite: Dangerous is currently available for $44.99 USD on PC through Steam and will launch on next month for Xbox One systems. As promised, the title will come to PlayStation 4 sometime in the future, but it will be a while -- Microsoft currently has timed exclusive rights to the console version of the game.
