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 · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 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.

Silently, it's creeping up behind SC as the stable competitor that is actually playable. Recent updates show real promise, ship interiors, more fleshed out on-foot gameplay. Onward

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.

This game is virtually unplayable and incredibly overcomplicated. It lacks proper tutorials or guidance, making the experience pure frustration rather than entertainment. If you are looking for an actual game, this is not it.
It's a very good game! The fact this is OUR galaxy in a game is really awesome
Nach 16 Stunden auf Steam kann ich sagen: Elite Dangerous ist für mich aktuell in einem richtig guten Zustand. Wichtig dazu: Ich bin kein neuer Spieler. Ich habe auf Xbox ungefähr 6000 Stunden in Elite Dangerous verbracht und bin jetzt nach längerer Pause auf dem PC wieder eingestiegen. Und genau deshalb fällt mir der Unterschied ziemlich stark auf. Das Spiel schafft immer noch etwas, was kaum ein anderes Weltraumspiel hinbekommt: Man sitzt nicht einfach in einem Raumschiff – man hat wirklich das Gefühl, dieses Ding selbst zu fliegen. Starten, landen, navigieren, Systeme erkunden und einfach irgendwohin fliegen macht nach wie vor unglaublich viel Spaß. Was mich überrascht hat: Elite fühlt sich aktuell wieder deutlich lebendiger an. Es gibt mehr das Gefühl, dass sich wirklich etwas entwickelt und dass das Spiel nicht nur noch verwaltet wird. Mein größter Kritikpunkt ist allerdings immer noch der Einstieg. Viele wichtige Dinge werden entweder nur oberflächlich oder gar nicht erklärt. Steuerung, FSS, Supercruise, Landung, SRV und viele andere Systeme können neue Spieler komplett erschlagen. Wenn man nicht selbst nachschaut oder jemanden hat, der einem hilft, kann ich absolut verstehen, warum manche schon nach wenigen Stunden wieder aufgeben. Das ist schade, denn wenn man diese erste Wand überwunden hat, steckt dahinter immer noch eines der besten Weltraumspiele überhaupt. Nach rund 6000 Stunden auf Xbox und jetzt 16 Stunden zurück auf PC ist mein Eindruck deshalb ziemlich klar: Elite Dangerous ist für mich heute in einem besseren Zustand als noch vor einigen Jahren. Frontier sollte nur endlich dafür sorgen, dass neue Spieler auch eine vernünftige Chance bekommen, das zu merken. Und ja: Trotz 6000 Stunden wusste ich beim Wiedereinstieg teilweise trotzdem nicht mehr, wo zum Teufel bestimmte Tasten liegen. Empfohlen.
스타 시티즌도 불친절 하다고 생각했지만 이거는 그냥 사막 한 가운데에 버려두는 수준인데
VERY hard game. That alone isn't a problem, but the real issue is it lacks a strong tutorial, and the tutorial it has explains very basic stuff, then completely ignores like 80% of the remaining mechanics. Even with a friend's constant on-call help, I [i[still[/i] can't get anything done! I'm just stuck beyond help, and can't learn.
This game suffer of extreme bad Anti Aliasing implementation, forcing you to use super sampling at the maximum, which means that if you'd play it on VR your ♥♥♥♥♥♥, is not just "oh it's not great, but it's playable", no no, it's trash, and I'm very honest I play indie games that has low resolution as art style, but they were made with it in mind, this not the case, this developer has already made millions of dollars with this game, the community has asked for them to fix AA for many many years, they left the game in a negligible state, and continue to push new content only to sell the odyssey dlc and new ships, pure greed, my recommendation is, don't buy, but if you buy, setup a alarm clock for 1:40 hours, if you see that you can't overlook the AA, refurbish before a two hour playtime.
Elite Dangerous isn’t a game anymore, it’s a business model. The developers are gone, replaced by accountants optimizing revenue curves. I spent 1100 hours in this universe, and now I’m being asked to pay just to breathe in my own cockpit.
The game was promising a long time ago. They sold DLC which expanded the game, which was cool, but it needed a little bit of polish. So I waited years. Now, you have to pay MORE money to play that polish, or you can wait for 3 or 4 months until they let you have the honor of buying it using an in game currency to buy it, I could buy the SRV, but I think I'm going to uninstall again. They should add a loading screen message that reads "You're my favorite wallet".
