Elite Dangerous Is Headed To PS4 In Q2 2017

Following a period of Xbox One console exclusivity, Frontier Developments announced today that Elite Dangerous will be headed to PlayStation 4 in the second quarter of next year. The PS4 version will include exclusive features, such as touch navigation and motion-based headlook controls. As with many other titles that have been announced since the reveal of the PS4 Pro, those playing the game on PS4 Pro will benefit from increased performance.

Frontier CEO David Braben had the following to say about the announcement.

    We’re thrilled to bring Elite Dangerous to PlayStation 4. Elite Dangerous is unlike any other space game, with a rich multiplayer or single-player space, a true-to-life galaxy including our own entire night sky, real physics, unique ship handling characteristics and a player-driven narrative that’s really heating up. The galaxy has been stable for centuries, but all that is about to change. PlayStation 4 players will be joining our galaxy at a very exciting time. best f2p mmo

Despite having launched over a year and a half ago, the game remains popular on Steam with a 24-hour peak of over 5000 players. It will be interesting to see if the PS4 version does nearly as well.
