== Launch ==
The PC version of ''Elite Dangerous: Odyssey'' was released on May 19, 2021. The press reviews are generally mediocre at 55/100.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/elite-dangerous---odyssey Metacritic ED: Odyssey reviews.]</ref> On May 23, 2021, the user review score dropped to 30% positive out of 2,055 reviews.[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-great-big-odyssey-mostly-negative-rating-thread.576799/]<ref>Frontier forums https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-great-big-odyssey-mostly-negative-rating-thread.576799/</ref>
In September 2021, Frontier Developments reported a 19% rise in revenue and its existing game franchise portfolio continued to perform well. Engagement has gradually improved in the player community for ''Elite Dangerous'' after the botched release of ''Odyssey''.<ref>
