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.

Give it another decade and maybe it will be worth it. but no don't play it it's a bit of a waste of time.

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 can honestly say that [b] Elite Dangerous [/b] has become one of those games where I find myself just enjoying [i] being in the game [/i]. The flight characteristics and ship dynamics are my favourite things about it. Flying actually feels like flying a spacecraft rather than simply moving a character around in a 3D environment. There's a real sense of weight and control to it, and even after a few hundred hours I still enjoy just flying. And, the game is beautiful. The visuals, the scale of the galaxy, the stars, planets, stations, ships; there are times, not just moments where I genuinely stop what I'm doing just to look around. The soundtracks deserve a mention too. They fit the atmosphere incredibly well and produce an immersive experience. Speaking of immersion: this game is top-notch. There are times when it genuinely feels like I'm out [i] there [/i] in space rather than sitting at my computer. — CMDR 1-800-GET-REKT
For nearly a decade, Elite Dangerous sat untouched in my library—a brief 2015 trial run left me overwhelmed and unimpressed. While playing No Man’s Sky recently, I found myself craving a deeper sense of space realism. That itch led me down a YouTube rabbit hole of Elite Dangerous lore videos detailing player-driven galactic wars and deep-space discoveries. That was the turning point. I finally understood the pull of the galaxy. Returning to the cockpit as a complete beginner has been equal parts frustrating and breathtaking. Between redoing tutorials and constantly hunting down keybindings, I quickly realized that mastering this game takes hundreds of hours. It feels less like a casual hobby and more like a second job! lol Despite the steep learning curve, no other game currently compares. The sheer scale, mystery, and sense of wonder have ruined other games for me in the best way possible. I may be a lost beginner, but I am entirely hooked! >=)
Sehr Zeitaufwendig, aber vielfältig. Ich habe schon sehr lange Spaß an diesem Spiel und es gibt immer etwas zu tun. Allerdings ist es auch dementsprechend kompliziert.
Great game! Would be 10x better if the devs ever gave us 3rd person options and/or ship interiors. Learning curve isn't as bad as people make it out to be either.
its good
Top of the tree Space Combat/trading game. Epic in size and nature. Right On commander!
Sarò sintetico, sono anni che a fasi alterne gioco a Elite Dangerous, nel complesso non posso che dare un parere positivo perchè il prodotto è complesso e ricco di contenuti. Qualcosa da ridire invece ce l'ho riguardo a come viene sviluppato ultimamente con aggiunte di cui francamente non vedo l'utilità e una tendenza a non risolvere piccole e grandi questioni di qualità della vita che andrebbero sistemate. Mi auguro che anche qui l'omino dell'ufficio commerciale non faccia i disastri che ho visto fare su altri titoli.
