Frontier's intergalactic escapade Elite: Dangerous was announced for consoles this week, but there was no mention of the PlayStation 4. Many pondered whether Microsoft had locked the title down as an Xbox One exclusive, and there was certainly some confusion among the press. Fortunately, veteran developer David Braben has confirmed on Twitter that the space trading simulation will be laying out its stall on Sony's next-gen system eventually.
"Down the line we will support more [systems], including the PS4," he explained. "The Xbox One is a timed exclusive." This could actually end up working out well for the Japanese giant, as the title already has support for the Oculus Rift – and we now know that Project Morpheus is due out in 2016. Space exploration is a perfect fit for virtual reality, and Sony's going to need all of the software that it can get if its headset's going to be a success.

I'm more interested in Star Citizen. If the specs were similar for the Oculus and the Morpheus, I'd hope they'd look to expand their business. :/
Hmmm not the first time that M$ have been deliberately hush hush on the nature of their exclusives
I don t care about vr... I just need that game on ps4...
@adf86 its an attempt to compensate for the probable no mans sky timed exclusive, just gives them more time to polish up the superior PS4 version. These timed exclusives are mind bogglingly pointless.
So many hours spent on Frontier back in the day. Never thought there would ever be another and can't believe it's taken so long. Worth the wait i hope
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I can understand when indie studios do it, they don't always have enough capital to port it to all consoles/PC all at once.
@A1RB4G Its brilliant - just like frontier on the Amiga. There's some odd bugs though and dying is too easy. The graphics are great and the first time you see a station loom into view is special. the map (due to it being the galaxy) is as good as it gets as the updates have helped with way points. I have pretty much stopped playing completely as a lot of the features are threadbare and the grind to my next ship isn't worth it. But if you liked the original or frontier you HAVE to experience it.
