Greetings Commanders

The
January
Update beta begins today!

Although the beta will run much like the real game, we ask that you focus on testing all the changes, along with your standard gameplay, to ensure the stability of the build. This will help us to identify and find ways to fix as many issues as possible before the update goes live.

As a reminder...

  • The beta begins on the
    27 November
    and will run until the
    2 December.

  • The beta will be only be accessible on PC. We are looking into expanding this for console players in the future.
  • To take part in the beta, all you’ll need to do is load up the launcher and select (and update) the following product:
    Elite Dangerous: January Update (Beta)
    from the
    27 November
    . Once that has been completed, you’ll then have access to the January Update beta. If this doesn't appear, please restart your launcher.
  • Please report any issues you encounter (in the beta) in the Issue Tracker here.



On our official forums, we have created individual threads to give you more information about the beta:



All issues should be reported to the (Beta) Issue Tracker directly, but if you have any questions, please let us know on this forum thread.

UPDATE
: The beta will end at
12:00 (UTC)
on Monday 02 December.

Good luck on your mission, Commanders.
