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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Started playing Elite Dangerous in 2017 as it was my first space exploring sim on the ps4. Had no idea what I was doing but I was so interested in the game. Unfortunately at the time I was playing other games heavily, but I always came back to this game. I stopped playing when ps4 support stopped, didn't think I needed this game anyways since there were games like No Man Sky with their legendary come back. No Man Sky was and is cool, but just didn't satisfy my thirst for a space sim, and I really hate landing in NMS as it is fast,boring, too basic. In elite dangerous I seriously learned this game over the years as I would come back and spend large amounts of times just learning and getting good at the game, and re learning cuz this ♥♥♥♥ was complicated for me at times haha. I remember going in a space station and wondering to myself like, wow this ♥♥♥♥ so is soo cool looks like a colony from Gundam Wing. I always would tease the idea of actually going in a station after landing and just walk around. Well one day I woke up to seeing a ad for Operations. I was not gonna get this game at first and really didnt like the fact I couldn't get it on my ps5, but I got too curious and downloaded on my steam deck and was super surprised I got the base game and expansion for only 8 dollars. I was really surprised that the tutorial where you start on the base was actually really cool and now I'm looking forward to more of that. Even walking around in the space station I was pretty hyped, I started talking to my Wife and Son about how I can't believe I'm actually walking to stuff in this game and it doesn't look cartoony, everything looks amazing. Maybe I'm hyping it up too quickly but so far I'm enjoying the crap out this game and I'm now installing it on my gaming pc that I usually only use for work now. If your wondering bout coming back to the game I think you should. There's still bugs here and there but other than that it's good progress, and If you don't wanna do the new stuff like shooting mfs that the new expansion brings then go do all the other stuff that elite dangerous was and still is known for. I think if the updates keep coming, games like NMS and Star Citizen will have really good competition and will make this genre of gaming to be super popular again.

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.

Combination of action, simulation, and strategy. It does all very well. The simulation part adds time and patience. If you need heart pounding action nonstop and have no patience to move through the simulation and depth part of the game, this may not be the game for you. If you are looking for something with depth, thought, and effort that may take time, you will very likely enjoy this game. **I have had zero issues running this game full blast on my computer**
Great game really enjoy it
It's not perfect but I keep comming back to it. The world feels a bit empty but everything else is just so good, everytime I play another space game I end up going back to ED cause it's just so beautiful. No other games come close to this for flying ships. ( may star citizen but I don't know, everytim I tried it was crashing...) Some story driven quests or better on foot missions would make this game perfect.
Very Elite,very Dangerous
很不错、很耐玩！
O espaço não se importa com você. E é justamente isso que torna Elite Dangerous tão incrível. Cada salto é uma mistura de esperança e medo. Você nunca sabe o que encontrará do outro lado: uma estrela brilhando sozinha, um planeta jamais visitado ou apenas quilômetros e quilômetros de vazio. Não é um jogo para quem tem pressa. É um jogo para quem quer sentir o peso da imensidão do universo.
if you want an easy game dont get this. if you want eve online or starcraft dont get this. if you want a SPACE SIMULATION that is the size of the milky way galaxy (with procedurally generated planets and systems) and allows you to make money in really any way you want, this is a great game. if you want something you can keep coming back to and hyperfixate on, this is perfect.
