Elite: Dangerous scores 80 on Metacritic, 1 month after release

A month has passed since the launch of Elite: Dangerous. It has quickly become the highest scoring Metacritic-eligible game I’ve worked on! At the time of writing we are at a score of 80 (the score keeps moving a point or two as the many reviews continue to be added) which is excellent. Sadly Metacritic review scores can’t be changed after publishing, so despite all of the new content we have planned, and as the game gets even better and richer in content, it won’t affect our score – at least for the PC version.

Elite: Dangerous has definitely been the most ambitious title I’ve ever worked on – it could be one of the most ambitious titles ever made.
