26.05.2016 - 1.6 / 2.1 "The Engineers"

1.6 and The Engineers (2.1) update incoming


Hi guys,

Today's the day many of you have been waiting for. We're going to be updating Elite Dangerous with The Engineers (2.1) and 1.6. However, to do so we will need to bring the servers down for a long period of time while we apply the updates.

The servers will be down for potentially 10+ hours. It could be significantly shorter or longer and we wont be able to give a firm timeframe but we'll keep you informed on this thread as we get more information.

While you're waiting for the servers we have a few things going on to keep you entertained.

We will update the thread with the full patch notes once we have them.

Thank you for your patience.


Patch notes time!

Please note for Xbox One update: The update is available for download but will not be able to play until the servers are back up. It will be 9.2GB download.
