Elite Dangerous is Frontier Developments' space game and the continuation of the Elite series that began in 1984. It takes place in a full-scale model of the Milky Way built from real astronomical data, and galactic politics shift with what players do.
You get your own ship and a free hand: haul cargo between stations, mine asteroid belts, hunt bounties, fight for one of the superpowers, or fly thousands of light years out to be the first to log a system. Over thirty ships can be fitted for a role. The Odyssey expansion added planetary landings on foot and infantry combat. You can fly in Open, in a private group, or solo in the shared galaxy.
It suits patient pilots who set their own goals; guidance is thin. Frontier stopped selling the game on Russian Steam in 2022.
