Ever dreamt of becoming a space pirate? Well, you’re in for a treat.
Elite Dangerous, previously only available on Xbox One and PC, will be coming to PS4 in the last quarter of 2017, it’s just been announced.
Frontier Games are bringing the game to Sony’s console and interesting ways to use the touchpad with it. You can navigate the Milky Way with it and even designate hotkeys for ease of use, which sounds pretty cool by me. Elite Dangerous will also make use of the PS4’s motion controls, something I completely forgot about until just this second.
Speaking on the decision to make the leap to the PlayStation 4, Frontier boss David Braben said:
“We’re thrilled to bring Elite Dangerous to PlayStation 4. With a rich multiplayer or single-player space, a true-to-life galaxy including our own entire night sky, real physics, unique ship handling characteristics and a player-driven narrative that’s really heating up.
“The galaxy has been stable for centuries, but all that is about to change. PlayStation 4 players will be joining our galaxy at a very exciting time.”
Elite Dangerous is seen by many to be an alternative to No Man’s Sky, but the only real similarity is that they both have space. If you haven’t played Elite yet, you can look forward to playing it next year on PS4 and the PS4 Pro, which it’s being optimised for.
