When I bought my husband Elite Dangerous a few weeks ago, he asked me what it included, and I gave him a blank look – what comes in what Elite package and season is a wee bit confusing even for me. So the FAQ Frontier posted on the upcoming Beyond – Chapter One and its beta – which begins today – is most welcome to us, and I bet it will be for you too.
So here’s the deal. Everybody who owns any version of the game can access the beta for Beyond – Chapter one today, even if you’ve never picked up the Horizons season pass. That won’t hold true for launch, but it does for beta. The exception is on console; consolers can’t play the beta at all, but they will be able to buy the update.
The most important advice? “We wouldn’t advise taking time off to play the beta first thing tomorrow, as we don’t have an exact time that this will go live!” Telling it like it is! Check out the whole explainer on the official forums and let us know if you’re diving in!
