Elite: Dangerous Release Date

Even if you're still, somehow, unaware of Elite: Dangerous, then you must have missed our preview.

For the rest of us, we have finally been told that it will release for Windows on 16th December!

This is nine days before Christmas, so a perfect pressie for the space trader in your life. What's more, it can be a delayed present for that space trader who owns a Mac in your life.

Because in 2015, Elite: Dangerous will be released on Mac! And your save game will be in the cloud, so you can swap from one to the other effortlessly - and for free. Owning one copy gives you the other version for free! If you were a Beta or Alpha tester for Windows, you are automatically a Mac Alpha or Beta tester, with that start date to be announced.

There is still time to enlist in the beta, as it ends on 22nd November. Enrollment any time before then will allow you into the Mac beta too.
