14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 10.14/day in the week to Aug 26 → 18/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

1st of all: ignore every bad ratings from gamers who played less than 15 hours! for a game i have been playing since January 2015 (i had over 2500 hours before importation to steam) it is still a very good game, but the learning curve is hard, almost like getting a standard drivers license. This is no arcade game, but more of a simulator. And don't buy it for the FPS part, its a nice addition, but not the main "magic" of the game. The microtransaction part is priced fair most of the time, mainly cosmetic and the pay to win aspect of early access to new ships becomes free for standard in-game currency (credits) after roundabout 90 days. Soundtrack and FX sounds are f..king awesome btw. Anyone who played one of the 3 former installations of Elite (like this is actually Elite 4) will love this game, so do i. Fly Save, Commanders o7 (salute ascii emoji ;D)

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 13: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I've played this on and off for years on console, and being able to transfer my account to PC and play in VR has been f***ing amazing.
a fun game. i do recomend getting odysssy for exo-biology
Шедевр которому нужен глобальный рреворк, а сейчас это старое дерьмо на ИВЛ
Scratches that space-sim itch. The first time you stand on a distand world, dimly lit by a distant star, in utter isolation - that's something.
Im doing what I want in space and having fun.
宇宙シミュレーターとしてはそこそこですが、ゲームとして見た場合、非常にワンパターンで、発展性がなく、退屈な内容です。一見やれることが多く見えますがそれは最初の数時間だけであり、すぐに底が見えてしまいます。プレイ時間の8割は移動にかかる時間であり、実際にゲームを遊んだと思える時間は僅かです。他にもユーザーに不利となる不可解な仕様が多く、UIはもっさりしており、クライアントのフリーズも頻繁に発生します。300時間以上プレイして唯一楽しかった点は徒歩戦闘にSRVで参加してNPCに体当たりをしていた時だけです。
gioco infinito immenso e desolato, il miglior videogioco spaziale di sempre! ma potrebbe migliorare parecchio ancora
Ce jeu à beau avoir de l'âge il continue d'évoluer. J'aurais voulut voir un système de revenu passif, mais dans l'ensemble ce jeu propose pas mal de choses a exploiter.
Elite Dangerous ist eine beeindruckende Weltraumsimulation, die ein unvergleichliches Gefühl von Freiheit vermittelt. Die nahezu maßstabsgetreue Nachbildung der Milchstraße macht jede Reise zu einem Abenteuer. Egal, ob man als Händler, Entdecker, Kopfgeldjäger, Bergbauer oder Söldner unterwegs ist – das Spiel bietet unzählige Möglichkeiten, seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen. Besonders faszinierend ist das Fluggefühl. Jedes Raumschiff besitzt seine eigenen Eigenschaften und lässt sich mit der Zeit durch neue Module und Ausrüstung individuell anpassen. Das Andocken an Raumstationen, das Navigieren durch Asteroidenfelder oder das Springen zwischen Sternensystemen vermittelt ein authentisches und immersives Erlebnis. Auch die Erkundung des Universums gehört zu den größten Stärken des Spiels. Es ist ein besonderes Gefühl, auf bislang kaum besuchte Sternensysteme zu stoßen oder spektakuläre Nebel, Gasriesen und exotische Himmelskörper zu entdecken. Wer gerne auf Entdeckungsreise geht, findet hier nahezu grenzenlose Möglichkeiten. Grafisch überzeugt Elite Dangerous mit beeindruckenden Sternensystemen, realistisch dargestellten Planeten und einer hervorragenden Soundkulisse. Besonders die Atmosphäre beim Verlassen einer Raumstation oder während eines Hyperraumsprungs trägt enorm zur Immersion bei. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die große spielerische Freiheit. Das Spiel schreibt keinen festen Weg vor, sondern überlässt es den Spielern, eigene Ziele zu verfolgen. Dadurch fühlt sich jede Karriere anders an und motiviert immer wieder dazu, neue Schiffe auszuprobieren oder andere Rollen im Universum einzunehmen. Die Lernkurve ist zwar anfangs etwas steil, doch wer sich darauf einlässt, wird mit einer der tiefgründigsten Weltraumsimulationen überhaupt belohnt. Mit etwas Geduld entfaltet das Spiel seinen ganzen Reiz und bietet Hunderte Stunden abwechslungsreiche Unterhaltung.
