Between the PC launch of ''Odyssey'' on May 19, 2021 until the console launch later that year, players who own ''Odyssey'' and players who only own ''Horizons'' will be temporarily unable to instance with each other.<ref name="Compat2">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/horizons-odyssey-compatibility-further-details.575005/ Frontier Forums: Horizons/Odyssey Compatibility - Further Details]</ref> Both groups will continue to share the same galaxy and background simulation, but ''Horizons'' players will not have access to any new content or improvements added by ''Odyssey''. If an ''Odyssey'' owner wishes to play with a friend who only has ''Horizons'', they have the option of switching to the ''Horizons'' version of the game via the PC launcher, but while playing ''Horizons'' they will not have access to any ''Odyssey''-specific features or items.<ref name="Compat1">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/horizons-odyssey-compatibility.574677/ Frontier Forums: Horizons / Odyssey Compatibility]</ref><ref name="Compat1A">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/horizons-odyssey-compatibility.574677/page-5#post-9155372 Frontier Forums: Horizons / Odyssey Compatibility, post #96]</ref>
