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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 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.

Le jeu s'est amélioré avec le temps et sa version complète vaut le coût.
There are a lot of things I've loved about this game, but I'll focus on the ships, because they really are the main characters of this game. Over the years, Elite:Dangerous has prided itself on internal consistency and keeping a sense of immersion. It always had an iconic design style with incredibly strong shape language. Balance has never been the best, but despite that, there have been plenty of varied ships that can be fitted to fulfill a variety of niches within the game. I've been an explorer for a long time in this game, and I've seen people come up with exploration builds for LOADS of viable ships. My favorite ship is the Beluga. It's a luxury passenger liner, that, with some special modifications, can be turned into a deep space explorer with every amenity you could ask for. Its bevy of slots for passenger cabins can instead be used for a number of different things that are useful out in the black, like vehicle bays, fuel scoops, and repair units. Of course, this does come with downsides. You give up a good bit of jump range, it's hard to land on rocky terrain with a ship the size of two football fields, and its fuel scoop is a bit too small to fill up the tank in a timely manner. Strengths and weaknesses. It's genuinely heartbreaking to see them throw all of that away in favor of releasing overpowered pay-to-win ships that spit in the face of Elite's design principles. They have little to no weaknesses. Their designs do not share Elite's lineage, instead being derivative of ships from other works of fiction, such as Star Trek or Alien. Internal consistency when it comes to attributes like cargo space, armament, and module size are all thrown out the window in favor of cramming ludicrous amounts of components into space that isn't there. When a new ship is released to occupy a certain niche, it renders every old ship worthless as it utterly curbstomps them in every category. Why explore in anything but a Caspian or Mandalay? Why use any small combat ship besides the Kestrel? Or any freighter aside from the Panther and Type 8? Even though these ships eventually leave their "early access" state, the damage is done, and the nature of the game's outfitting system makes nerfing certain overpowered features unviable. Variety suffers, everything becomes boring. Even if tomorrow, they announced the end of "Early Access" ships, they reverted the changes that devalued ARX and made it harder for players to earn it without paying real money, and started adding VR support for on-foot gameplay, or the ship interiors that the community has asked for for over a decade, the damage would be done. Pay-to-win ships like the Panther are a STAIN on this game. I think it's clear from the slow enshittification over the past several years that Elite's time in the limelight is over, and right now, it is dying a drawn-out and undignified death. Spend your money somewhere else.

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 open the game to be instantly greeted with "Make a account for our third party service!!!" Which is promptly followed by it wanted me to pick a name for my in game dude, to which I am instantly hit with "Name already in use" For my in game character, not the account.
This game isn't too interesting to me, its a lot more suited to those who like games like war thunder or others, where you shoot down people/things. Also, can lead to feeling very nauseous after playing even if you don't play with VR. On top of all of that, it changes your display settings and wont let you change it back after. I can see why a few people are interested but its not for majority of people.
Its an interesting idea for a game, but sadly its filled with a lot of nothing to do. Sure I can jump around between systems using some very clunky and poorly thought out menus delivering goods, but beyond that, content doesn't generate. I can try to go look for pirates, but I can spend hours finding none while being told to go to randomly generated far away locations that make no sense. Mining is not straight forward at all and requires some considerable investment in capital and modules, and forget about finding any asteroids to mine. I can spend hours finding nothing. There are also not nearly enough ships s in the game, and no, none of the "ships" are actual ships. You only get access to small fighter planes, or slightly larger fighter planes. There aren't any capital ships to unlock unfortunately. There are however, microtransactions where you can buy a pay to win "ship" instead of playing the game and unlocking stuff. Elite Dangerous is a pointless waste of time of a game with no content, horrible UI design, and falsely advertises itself.
Nicht Einsteigerfreundlich
Being able to fly through an infinite amount of solar systems by ways only seen in science fiction, finding things beyond our universe is something anybody could dream of. But instead of spending money on a degree to get this job, you can fly in the space of your own home.
This game is a triumph. For above average IQ gamers the scope is unreal. Watching the sun set on a moon, orbiting a gas giant 500 light years from earth, with each star that appears in the night sky an actual place that you could visit, and other players may be present in, is very special.
its a fun ship game and you make your story
