Development of the console versions of [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]] was officially cancelled on 10 March 2022.<ref name=":1">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-update.600233/ Frontier Forums: Console Update]</ref> This is partially due to the limited technical capabilities of old-gen consoles which struggle to run the higher graphical fidelity and system requirements of Odyssey. For example the PlayStation 4 only has 8 GB GDDR5 while the Xbox One has 8 GB DDR3 RAM. Secondly, ending old-gen console support streamlines development by focusing on a unified v4.0+ live version for PC. The Legacy version (v3.8 Game Client) is playable on old-gen consoles, but it does not receive updates nor new content. Frontier offers a free migration service to copy console player profiles to PC.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-profile-transfers-and-2022-updates.603032/ Frontier Forums: Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates]</ref> | Development of the console versions of [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]] was officially cancelled on 10 March 2022.<ref name=":1">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-update.600233/ Frontier Forums: Console Update]</ref> This is partially due to the limited technical capabilities of old-gen consoles which struggle to run the higher graphical fidelity and system requirements of Odyssey.
