About this game
The whole Milky Way at 1:1 scale, generated procedurally into around 400 billion star systems, is the stage for this 2014 space sim. You fly your own ship and can hunt bounties, trade, pirate, smuggle or just explore, in Solo, Private Group or Open Play, with an internet connection required. It is the fourth Elite game and starts in the year 3300. Walking on foot arrived with the Odyssey expansion in May 2021. Docking animations, station detail and sound design show the care in the small things. It asks you to settle into its rules rather than be entertained, which is how to enjoy it today.
