14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 10.14/day in the week to Aug 26 → 18/day in the week after.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 13: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Been playing for over 10 years, starting on console. I of course made the switch to PC, still playing. I play on the frontier client but have an alt on steam. This game has had its ups and down but there really is no other better space simulation game out there that immerses you this much. SC can suk it.
Very fun realistic space simulator.
Steep learning curve on this game but well worth the effort. In my book, the best open world space simulation out there.
This is so damn good
Did you play Elite back in the 80s? This game is what you imagined in your head back then!
Immersive space experience indeed!!!
★★★★★ 500 heures minimum de farm, 1 milliard de crédits en banque et je suis toujours au début de l’histoire. J’ai de quoi acheter une flotte entière, mais niveau progression, je suis encore en train de découvrir le jeu. Elite Dangerous reste pourtant exceptionnel : une galaxie gigantesque, des vaisseaux magnifiques et une liberté qui donne vraiment l’impression de vivre dans l’espace. Le revers, c’est qu’il faut parfois investir des dizaines d’heures pour débloquer… le droit de recommencer quelque chose d’autre. Le vrai manque, pour moi, reste l’immersion : pouvoir visiter les intérieurs des vaisseaux, avoir davantage de gameplay à pied et réellement vivre dans son appareil aurait été incroyable. Mais bon, soyons honnêtes : Frontier n’a pas levé plus d'1 milliard de dollars pour développer Elite Dangerous. C’est peut-être pour ça qu’ils ont préféré sortir le jeu. 👀 Parce qu’à côté, chez Star Citizen, ils ont bien trouvé le milliard… maintenant reste juste à attendre qu’ils trouvent le bouton « Release ». 💀
Si te apasionan el espacio y las naves, este juego es el indicado. Ponemos a nuestra disposición una galaxia inmensa a escala 1:1 con más de 400.000 millones de sistemas, repleta de planetas por explorar y curiosidades por descubrir, tanto en órbita como a pie. La oferta de naves es amplísima y cada una destaca en un rol específico. Yo las dividiría en cinco grandes categorías: combate, exploración, comercio/carga, minería y multipropósito. Además, cuentas con una enorme variedad de módulos para personalizar y modificar cada nave, lo que te permite adaptar el armamento, los escudos, los motores o la capacidad de carga según tus necesidades. Respecto al combate contra facciones humanas, resulta muy entretenido; los enemigos están claramente diferenciados por rangos que van desde simples novatos hasta pilotos expertos, lo que te obliga a adaptar tus tácticas y equipamiento a cada enfrentamiento. Pero el juego no se queda ahí. Aparte de las facciones humanas, existen los Thargoids, una amenaza alienígena que exige llevar la preparación al siguiente nivel. Para hacerles frente no basta con comprar una buena nave; es imprescindible adentrarse en el sistema de los Ingenieros. Tendrás que ir desbloqueándolos uno a uno y recolectar los materiales necesarios para modificar y potenciar los módulos de tu nave al máximo. Solo con este nivel de optimización podrás tener una oportunidad real ante la tecnología alienígena. No es un juego fácil ni para todo el mundo. Exige tiempo, paciencia y ganas de aprender, pero la sensación de libertad, el control de la nave y la inmersión en la galaxia son insuperables. Si estás dispuesto a superar la curva de aprendizaje, te esperan cientos de horas de vuelo inolvidables.
