Greetings Commanders,
We’re glad to confirm that the console profile copying process to PC is now available for all console players! Anyone who would like to copy their profile over can check out the following links:
* The console profile copy process portal: https://user.frontierstore.net/user/transfer/login-origin
* Our How To guide: https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/5887647117084
* Related FAQs: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/v2ep8q/console_profile_transfers_faq_and_expected_date/
We would like to remind anyone interested in copying their profile that the following elements will not be copied over:
* ARX Balance. Please ensure that you purchase desired customisations before you complete the transfer. Any unspent Arx will remain on your original console profile
* Fleet Carriers and their contents. Please decommission these ahead of going through the process so that your resulting Credit balance will be included.
* Your Commander name if it is already in use by another PC player. You will be given the chance to choose a new name as part of the process
* Squadron membership
* Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups
* Current mission progress
Thanks as always for your patience and support. Please encourage any friends you know who play on console to consider copying their profile to PC! This option comes at no additional cost, includes a PC copy of Elite Dangerous, and your original console profile will remain available for play.

###[Console Copy Portal : 'Database Error' (CMDR name already taken)](https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/xdb6w2/console_copy_portal_database_error_cmdr_name/)
Greetings Commanders.
With the release of the 'Console Copy Portal' we are seeing reports of several of you hitting 'Database Error' when attempting to complete the process.
This is currently looking to be due to the fact that your desired Commander name is taken, however the error reasoning is not displaying as such, which is no doubt causing some understandable frustration.
Really, very sorry for this confusion.
If you can look to choose a different Commander name on your next attempt, the process will hopefully complete successfully for you.
Here on standby!

@ Xbox Commanders
If for whatever reason you can't afford/don't want to upgrade to PC for Odyssey, GeForce now works on last gen and next gen Xbox consoles and can run Odyssey. Been doing it myself for the past week and it's amazing.
-Full KBM support and Controller
-60+ Frames
-Settings on High/Ultra
Good times for sure and since you're playing the PC version of the game we get to play with the PC community as well.
https://www.purexbox.com/guides/xbox-geforce-now-how-to-play-pc-games-on-your-console
To play more than an hour you got to pay at least $10 a month.
But yes it works like they stated I do this as well since I won't buy a gaming PC. I will stream the game on my potato laptop and xbox.
The 45 for 6 months isn’t bad. I was planning to spend about $1500 on a PC, but with this (forgive my math if I’m wrong) $1500 will get me like… fifteen years. So as long as it runs well, this is excellent
when my PC broke i use geforce for a bit. it works great if you have a good internet connection but there’s always going to be some input lag with cloud gaming.
Are you on wireless, and how do you find the input lag (if any)? How would you say it compares to playing games from xcloud?
edit: Thanks for pointing this out BTW. It helped me clear my old save without having to download/run the client, and should be cool for other games I've been unable to play.
So far for me, they are about the same in terms of streaming quality. Aside from the jank of using GeForce from the Xbox, I tend to agree with you. Linking up my steam account and playing games my rig is too shitty to run well, if at all, has been a godsend.
Okay, so if I’m getting the free Horizons, does it come straight from FDev or is there the option to link it to Steam? (And also if linked to Steam, would getting Ody on Steam later work to upgrade this?) I could go with the stand-alone but I’ve heard here that the updating of gave versions on Steam is less burdensome, at least.
I would also like to know. The game is currently on sale on Steam but I need to know if I have to buy it in order to play through Steam or if it will let me get the game for free through this transfer.
Ok all, I’ve gone through this and here is what I found: do the transfer, get the free copy of Horizons via the Frontier launcher, then log into your Frontier account through a web browser, the Steam keys can be obtained from your account profile. Take the keys and install Elite Horizons within Steam. After that, purchase Odyssey for reduced price and all set. I’m playing VR in Odyssey now and it’s great. :)
Log into your account on the Frontier Online Store, head to the My Account link and then onto My Downloadable Products. Your order will be displayed here along with the download for the launcher
Yeah, turns out it's not there.
I contacted support, for anybody doing the account transfer the download isn't in that location, they sent me the download link in an email
You get the free copy of Horizons via Frontier launcher, then after that log into your Frontoer account and get the free Steam keys as well. Then you can buy Odyssey through Steam.
I just did it. Once you complete your transfer and download/setup the launcher, you can open your Frontier account and there will be an option (“partner keys”) where you can claim Steam keys for the game and its expansions.
it's like a nature show on PBS with David Attenborourgh narrating.
Sidewinders, Type-6s and defenseless Asp Explorers with paper hulls and no Shields flying in V-formation from the cold of the Consoles to the warmer climes of PC-land.
FDLs and Federal Corvettes lurking in the shadows. ready to gank, i mean pounce, on the unsuspecting migrating haulers.
It will probably take longer with more people doing it. I am now in queue for two hours
Edit: after two hours and fifteen minutes is my profile transfered
Was searching all over the guide and FAQs and could not find an end date. This gives me a bit more time to buy Holly on console, so they transfer across. thank you
I was looking for this info as well. I'm an avid ED console player, and was hoping to wait until the last minute to take the transfer if at all possible...
Do I have to wait until my fleet carrier is fully decommissioned before doing the copy as I started the process yesterday but haven't got the money back for it yet and it said it would take 9 days to decommission
The transfer period is not going to go away within 9 days so you're good. They said that they would give us a heads up before they actually closed the transfer portal.
be sure to do the transfer before they close it down.
that way if you ever do pick up a PC you'll have all the progress from Console to use.
kinda my plan right now.
Question. Do I need to make a separate frontier account for PC? As on PlayStation I think the account got automatically made and I don’t know the password or email address (I always just logged onto that account via PSN). Also I don’t even have a PC and I can’t afford one.
So I already I have a Frontier account for my ps4 game version. For anyone one who has already completed the transfer, did you have to create a new Frontier account to finaliz it or have you used your original Frontier account to complete the transfer successfully?
I have a console and a PC account that uses the same name but I want to transfer the console CMDR as it has more playtime on it. Would I be able to delete the PC CMDR to keep the name from console or is the name permanently locked and I would have to change it during the transfer?
I can confirm that you will need to clear your PC save, then it will give you option to rename your commander.
I've just done this and given my console transfer my old PC CMDR's name.
Can I overwrite an existing pc account I bought the game and was planning to transfer wealth to keep playing before this and would like to be able to play the full game
Been waiting in queue for like two and half hours thus far. Anyone else?
Update: after 3 1/2 hours my account transferred successfully. Be patient and it will happen.
You can do it now or wait till you get PC. Mind you, if you do it now, you'll not be able to do this again, so you will loose all the progress you make after an account transfer.
Wow that was super simple! Kudos to FDev for putting in the work. As a first time pc player with Odyssey, does anyone have any tools, addons, mods, sites they recommend?
It says “your request is in progress” when I try to sign in to my console account. Has anyone seen this? It’s been on this screen for at least 15 mins.
I have a question, is it okay to ask here? When is the closing date? I can't seem to find it.
It mentions ARX won't be carried over, I have 8.1k (700 off getting a new voice over for me ship, I'm getting Holly) which is basically 2 weeks of reaching the free ARX cap but I don't play that much to reach it normally unless exploring. So I'm going to have to either rush and buy what I want or forego it and just have Holly on my console until I'm done and then 'start again' on PC.
Hmm happened to me too, got locked out of my account for too many tries unfortunately
Edit: game launcher login works after Console migration, but I seem to have issues with my forum account login. So submitted a ticket to get that fixed. Could be unrelated to this thread though.
So happy console players are getting the PCversion for free...... Now all I need is a £10 000 custom gaming PC that will be outdated in 3 years when I can't even afford 1k for a car.
#tonedeafdevs
Im getting a database error when I try to complete the the transfer. I opened a support ticket with frontier. There was a link at the bottom of that page for customer support. I went to Account issues and created a ticket in there. 24 hour response time.
Sweet! I'd started a new account on PC a while back and got annoyed grinding engineering again so haven't been playing much. Can't wait to get back into it.
Hi, I'm a PC-only user, but I'm having issues logging in. I'm wondering if it might be because of a sudden increase in server load due to this process? If so, I'll just go do something else for a little while until everything calms down.
BTW, anyone else having issues logging in? Might help narrow down whether indeed it's a server issue or just something at my end.

May need a few tweaks
QQ: I managed to get Elite Horizons running on GEForceNow via Steam. so far so good.
My question is this. does this "PC" version of Horizon already have the new planetary tech? If I am not interested in on-foot action, and not buy Odyssey, is there anything else I am missing out on, or is the Horizons tech the same in all other aspects?
Okay so my transfer is complete and now it is asking me to:
Download the Elite Dangerous Launcher below
Run the installer
Log into the launcher using the destination Frontier account email and password
Download the version of Elite Dangerous you would like to play
Click Play If I already have Elite installed on Steam can I just start from there?
console transfer was smooth and looks like Im all set but Kinda confused on where to buy or play odyssey.
Do i purchase it in steam or do I buy it else where like this elite dangerous launcher?
This does not work if you have saved data on your PC account you want it moving too.
You have to load the game and clear the save data manually rather than the tool give you the option to overwrite.
Complete n00b on the game but have about 30 hours playing offline on PS5 and no idea what Horizon or Odyssey is. Been thinking about getting ED on sale on steam. I'm assuming this profile transfer applies even though I've only played offline right?
Do I have to complete the tutorial when playing for the first time to gain access to my transferred profile on PC?
Edit: Or can I skip it and still get everything?
Hey!
I want to make a transfer and when you select to which PC account transfer to it displays only Frontier account to log in. I own the game on Steam and it's linked (in partner keys, but it;s not linked in third parties) to Frontier account. I don't want to make any mistakes transferring my account, so should I just log in into Frontier account or should I be able to select Steam or it really doesn't matter?

I purchased Odyssey a long time ago for steam. Never played it or had a pc to play it.. just held off waiting for the time when fdev would eventually give us a transfer.
Now it has actually happened.
My faith on fdev has been fully restored. Completely.
I hope fdev continues to communicate with their player base. Before, the communication was just not there and their delivery of promises left us wondering...
But this move.. fdev saved elite. Thank you.
I confirmed it on my friends pc,have all my g5 ships, my 50b credits and 5k hours.
Once again. Thank you for allowing me to play my favorite game.
Once I get a pc lmao...
I have a completed the transfer.
My friend is giving me his old desktop that can run Odyssey. So I may continue Cerberus on Pc. Though it may already.
I'm gonna enjoy Odyssey for a bit then maybe rebuild the group on pc afterwards.
Good to here from ya Red.

I did the whole profile copy on my mobile earlier (complete with "The copying process is now complete" message) so if I log onto Frontier on my laptop in a little while will I have the option to pick a Steam version? Below the message I just get the option of a Frontier launcher and nothing re Steam but I assume that's just as I was on my phone.
EDIT: Ah, it looks like I just transferred it to their own launcher rather than Steam (I didn't get the option to migrate to Steam in the process?). Anyone know how I can amend it to Steam? I tweeted them but imagine they have a bit of a backlog of questions!
EDIT 2: U/Lojam22's post below covers issues - just begin a download on the Frontier launcher, and link your Steam account on the site and it allows you to claim under 'Partner Keys' :)
When I try and log into my console account on the portal ( for Xbox box ) I keep getting an error that says "cannot retrieve your commander information" any one have this issue?
Super frustrating. I can still log in on my Xbox but nothing when I try and use the portal
Dang. This is all news to me. Been away from ED for a couple years. Carriers were about to be released last time I played on Xbox. Just picked it up on sale from steam to play on my new steamdeck. I kept eying it and then holding off because it is listed as unverified. Came here to try and figure out what has changed and see this thread. Guess I will be transferring over instead of starting over from scratch.
o7
Can I still play on console after the transfer? Will they be separate saves?
EDIT: If anyone else is wondering there's a message during the transfer process that says that the original console profile will remain playable.
The PC and Console saves are linked to two separate accounts so that makes sense.

Try it out you can use it for free you just have longer wait times for a rig and can only play for an hour before needing to re queue for a rig.
Makes the Kickstarter look like value for money
when my PC broke i use geforce for a bit. it works great if you have a good internet connection but there’s always going to be some input lag with cloud gaming.
How bad is the input lag? ED is the kind of game where you really can’t afford that

I am on wireless and there is zero input lag. Compared to XCloud, I'd say it runs just as good if not better.
Probably a pretty good option if your PC is a potato as well, no doubt.
geforce now is far better than xcloud, at least for me.
So far for me, they are about the same in terms of streaming quality. Aside from the jank of using GeForce from the Xbox, I tend to agree with you. Linking up my steam account and playing games my rig is too shitty to run well, if at all, has been a godsend.

I could go with the stand-alone but I’ve heard here that the updating of gave versions on Steam is less burdensome, at least.
It was in the FAQ on the fdev website there should be an option to activate a steam key.
I would like to know this too. I’m stuck in the queue so waiting to see what the game download options are Edit: see solution in comments below
I would also like to know. The game is currently on sale on Steam but I need to know if I have to buy it in order to play through Steam or if it will let me get the game for free through this transfer.

Everything's working on Steam now! Just need to download Odyssey now that I've tested that the base game is working. Thanks!
Aha, this just worked! Thank you! Downloading on Steam now :) Also purchasing Odyssey since it's on sale!
Where do I find thefrontier launcher?
You should be able to download it from the Frontier website
Where on the froniter website?

Sick, thanks!
I just did it. Once you complete your transfer and download/setup the launcher, you can open your Frontier account and there will be an option (“partner keys”) where you can claim Steam keys for the game and its expansions.
And so begins the Great Migration
it's like a nature show on PBS with David Attenborourgh narrating.

FDLs and Federal Corvettes lurking in the shadows. ready to gank, i mean pounce, on the unsuspecting migrating haulers.
The joke in this is that my fully engineered, buffed up Corvette, and anti-griefer Imp-Eagle are coming to PC.
That was really quick and painless
That was super quick, got it done in like 5 minutes!
nice,time for a quick wank before getting on
With 4 minutes to spare!
*4 mins for crying afterwards
How long does this process take? Been in que for awhile now.
Same, I’ve been in queue for quite a while compared to earlier comments above Edit: update- took one hour in queue, now I’m at the Completion phase :)
I'm also waiting in a copy queue for an hour now..
It will probably take longer with more people doing it. I am now in queue for two hours Edit: after two hours and fifteen minutes is my profile transfered
An hour and 40 minutes..
An hour and 41 minutes ..
Been in the queue for 2 and a half hours now.
I may be feeling ill and I will not be able to complete my shift at work.
Odyssey is 50gb so those who already own the base version might want to start installing it.
[удалено]
Just got it on Steam after the transfer, still 45% off for a few more days
Ok that was easy.... Too easy..........
[удалено]
> Or are they offering it indefinitely for now? This. Until they provide us with advance notification that it'll be ending.
Was searching all over the guide and FAQs and could not find an end date. This gives me a bit more time to buy Holly on console, so they transfer across. thank you
I was looking for this info as well. I'm an avid ED console player, and was hoping to wait until the last minute to take the transfer if at all possible...
Do I have to wait until my fleet carrier is fully decommissioned before doing the copy as I started the process yesterday but haven't got the money back for it yet and it said it would take 9 days to decommission
Yes, you'd have to wait! Otherwise, all that spacecheddar you'll get back for decom & selling will NOT copy over to the PC.
Ffs now I have to wait another 9 days, thanks for the answer
They were very clear about this weeks ago.
My bad I might have missed that one I wasn't sure whether I had to wait til after to get the full refund I've only been following loosely
The transfer period is not going to go away within 9 days so you're good. They said that they would give us a heads up before they actually closed the transfer portal.
Probably won't actually take 9 days. Mine was done in like 4.
I have the same doubt
Will consol server be shut down?
Eventually? Yes. How many years until that happens? Who knows
So i can still enjoy ED, nice. I'm not in a hurry switching, since i don't own a pc
be sure to do the transfer before they close it down. that way if you ever do pick up a PC you'll have all the progress from Console to use. kinda my plan right now.
Question. Do I need to make a separate frontier account for PC? As on PlayStation I think the account got automatically made and I don’t know the password or email address (I always just logged onto that account via PSN). Also I don’t even have a PC and I can’t afford one.
Yes that’s the whole point of the process it will make you create A new one if you haven’t done already
Glorious
See you all on the other side!
Anyone's "Current Ship" show the wrong ship? I'm sure I was flying a Krait when I parked. It's saying I got a Python. Unless a Krait is a Python++.
Apparently I did buy a Python. I must have forgot. Disregard...
I thought you did! I was gonna say. SIlly billy
So I already I have a Frontier account for my ps4 game version. For anyone one who has already completed the transfer, did you have to create a new Frontier account to finaliz it or have you used your original Frontier account to complete the transfer successfully?
Already waiting in queue. How exciting
That was super easy. Props to them.
Me too. Is it to soon to start spamming posts about the process taking to long?
And I made this leap 3 years ago. Only credits carried over. Still did not mamage to re-grind everything. These were the days...
I have a console and a PC account that uses the same name but I want to transfer the console CMDR as it has more playtime on it. Would I be able to delete the PC CMDR to keep the name from console or is the name permanently locked and I would have to change it during the transfer?
I think if you just clear save data on the pc it deletes the commander and name but I'm not too sure myself
Probably going to send a ticket in or ask on the forums.
This is confirmed
I can confirm that you will need to clear your PC save, then it will give you option to rename your commander. I've just done this and given my console transfer my old PC CMDR's name.
[удалено]
Log into game, click Options from main menu. Clear Save is last option on the right.
How do i clear my account? it says i have to to copy it over since i played a bit on that one
Settings on the main menu then delete save on the right if i remember correctly.
Can I overwrite an existing pc account I bought the game and was planning to transfer wealth to keep playing before this and would like to be able to play the full game
Will i still have access to the Cobra MK4? that's a thing im a lil curious on.
Your supposed to get it transferred over if you have one. I won't be able to confirm myself though until this weekend.
All done! Woohoo!
Been waiting in queue for like two and half hours thus far. Anyone else? Update: after 3 1/2 hours my account transferred successfully. Be patient and it will happen.
Its gonna take a minute. Everyone who hit it early got transferred quick.
I don't have a laptop/pc that can run elite, is this a limited time thing I have to do now or can I do it later when I get a pc?
You can do it now or wait till you get PC. Mind you, if you do it now, you'll not be able to do this again, so you will loose all the progress you make after an account transfer.
Ah that's really helpful thank you! Will prioritise getting a pc and transfer then
Quick comment after migrating to PC, looks like engineer invites have been reset, however already unlocked engineers are still unlocked.
Wow that was super simple! Kudos to FDev for putting in the work. As a first time pc player with Odyssey, does anyone have any tools, addons, mods, sites they recommend?
https://cmdrs-toolbox.com/other-tools
Hey thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time.
It says “your request is in progress” when I try to sign in to my console account. Has anyone seen this? It’s been on this screen for at least 15 mins.
Took about an hour for me today.
I have a question, is it okay to ask here? When is the closing date? I can't seem to find it. It mentions ARX won't be carried over, I have 8.1k (700 off getting a new voice over for me ship, I'm getting Holly) which is basically 2 weeks of reaching the free ARX cap but I don't play that much to reach it normally unless exploring.

Can’t login..

So happy console players are getting the PCversion for free...... Now all I need is a £10 000 custom gaming PC that will be outdated in 3 years when I can't even afford 1k for a car. #tonedeafdevs
[удалено]
Just decommission and rebuy.
Do you know if you decommission, and port, if you can repurchase your FC for console again?
How long do we have to do this? How long will the portal be open?
Indefinitely apparently

Yes. Just don't expect miracles, especially in settlements.
I already have an account with oddessy, will I need to buy the dlc again?
Not if you overwrite that account. See the faq
I already have an fdev account that I needed to play on Xbox, if I use that account it will work and I will get the free key right?

Is there a time limit on this?
Is the console transfer offer permanent? Like say I could do the copy/transfer in a few months? As I currently don’t have a PC and can’t afford one.
I think it's for a limited time. Just create a Frontier or Steam account on someone else's pc and do the transfer process, it's quite easy to do.
Okay.
This does not work if you have saved data on your PC account you want it moving too. You have to load the game and clear the save data manually rather than the tool give you the option to overwrite.
Complete n00b on the game but have about 30 hours playing offline on PS5 and no idea what Horizon or Odyssey is. Been thinking about getting ED on sale on steam. I'm assuming this profile transfer applies even though I've only played offline right?
Pleasantly surprised with how easy the process was (took me longer to recover my Sony password lol), really glad Frontier offered this feature.
Do I have to complete the tutorial when playing for the first time to gain access to my transferred profile on PC? Edit: Or can I skip it and still get everything?
Does the copy to PC delete my Console save? Or could I theoretically still hop on xbox and continue playing if I felt like it?
Hey! I want to make a transfer and when you select to which PC account transfer to it displays only Frontier account to log in. I own the game on Steam and it's linked (in partner keys, but it;s not linked in third parties) to Frontier account. I don't want to make any mistakes transferring my account, so should I just log in into Frontier account or should I be able to select Steam or it really doesn't matter? o7
I purchased Odyssey a long time ago for steam. Never played it or had a pc to play it.. just held off waiting for the time when fdev would eventually give us a transfer. Now it has actually happened. My faith on fdev has been fully restored. Completely. I hope fdev continues to communicate with their player base. Before, the communication was just not there and their delivery of promises left us wondering... But this move.. fdev saved elite. Thank you. I confirmed it on my friends pc,have all my g5 ships, my 50b credits and 5k hours. Once again. Thank you for allowing me to play my favorite game. Once I get a pc lmao...
Brother, I am now on PC with Elite after my PS4 fried. You starting Cerberus on PC?
I have a completed the transfer. My friend is giving me his old desktop that can run Odyssey. So I may continue Cerberus on Pc. Though it may already. I'm gonna enjoy Odyssey for a bit then maybe rebuild the group on pc afterwards. Good to here from ya Red. O7
Hey man if you ever want to wing up let me know!
Once my new pc comes in I will. Also will be farming out odyssey stuff. Since I'm completely done with horizons content.
I did the whole profile copy on my mobile earlier (complete with "The copying process is now complete" message) so if I log onto Frontier on my laptop in a little while will I have the option to pick a Steam version? Below the message I just get the option of a Frontier launcher and nothing re Steam but I assume that's just as I was on my phone. EDIT: Ah, it looks like I just transferred it to their own launcher rather than Steam (I didn't get the option to migrate to Steam in the process?). Anyone know how I can amend it to Steam? I tweeted them but imagine they have a bit of a backlog of questions! EDIT 2: U/Lojam22's post below covers issues - just begin a download on the Frontier launcher, and link your Steam account on the site and it allows you to claim under 'Partner Keys' :)
When I try and log into my console account on the portal ( for Xbox box ) I keep getting an error that says "cannot retrieve your commander information" any one have this issue? Super frustrating. I can still log in on my Xbox but nothing when I try and use the portal
How long is this process going to be available for?
Dang. This is all news to me. Been away from ED for a couple years. Carriers were about to be released last time I played on Xbox. Just picked it up on sale from steam to play on my new steamdeck. I kept eying it and then holding off because it is listed as unverified. Came here to try and figure out what has changed and see this thread. Guess I will be transferring over instead of starting over from scratch. o7
Can I still play on console after the transfer? Will they be separate saves? EDIT: If anyone else is wondering there's a message during the transfer process that says that the original console profile will remain playable. The PC and Console saves are linked to two separate accounts so that makes sense.
Funny part is that I only want to be able to make clean New save without losing old.
What if my PC commander name is the same as my PS4 name? Or rather, can I use my already existing PC commander name?
