On June 3, 2020, less than a week before the release of the [[Fleet Carriers Update]], a trailer for the expansion containing in-engine pre-alpha footage and revealing its name as ''Elite Dangerous: Odyssey'' was accidentally uploaded to the official ''Elite Dangerous'' YouTube channel. Although the trailer was swiftly removed, copies of it were captured and uploaded by fans, and Frontier Developments eventually decided to advance their announcement plans and reveal ''Odyssey'' the same day.<ref name="Odyssey" />
 
== Launch ==
The PC version was released on May 19, 2021. It had mediocre reviews and a low user review score on Steam due to a plethora of technical issues, low performance and bugs.
 
In September 2021, Frontier Developments reported a 19% rise in revenue and its existing game franchise portfolio continues to perform well. Engagement is gradually improving in the player community for Elite Dangerous after the botched release of Odyssey.<ref>Frontier Developments reports record results - Proactive, 2021-09-08<nowiki/>https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/amp/news/959739</ref>
