There are no other games on Xbox that offer as much intoxicating freedom or are quite so amazingly big as 💫Elite: Dangerous. Having started life as a PC game, it&rs🔯quo;s remarkable how well this has made the transition to console. Its galaxy is a dizzyingly huge, scientifically accurate replica of our own, with over 400 billion systems. You’ll never see them all, but luckily most of the action takes place in a relatively small corner of it. It’s a beautiful cosmic sea of burning suns, hulking gas giants, ethereal ring-worlds, and dense asteroid belts.
Frontier has captured t🌊he humbling, unknowable majesty of space brilliantly, and the scale of it all is overwhelming. And the game has made the move to Xbox One without any graphical compromise. It looks every bit as good as it does on PC, albeit wit💛h some frame drops when entering crowded areas.
How you spend your time here is entirely up to you. It’s player freedom that defines Elite: Dangerous, and this is one of the purest expressions of a sandbox game. There’s no hand-holding whatsoever. You start the game with a basic ship and a 🅷thousand credits in some unremarkable backwater station, then the reins are handed to you.
It’s an exhilarating moment, gazing across that twinkling starscape, knowing every point of light is a system you can visit. But this freedom can also be paralysing, because you constantℱly have to set your own objectives as you play. If you aren’t feeling inspired, that endl🍬ess blackness can feel unfathomably, impossibly big.
The Xbox One version of Elite: Dan🎀gerous takes place in the same universe as the PC꧑/Mac one. Players will never meet face to face, but share the same economy and galactic power structure. So if Xbox One players manage to shift the power of a particular system, PC and Mac players will feel the effects - and vice versa. Hopefully future updates will allow both sets of players to fight, or cooperate, with each other more directly. I’d love to be able to form a wing with a friend playing on their computer.
