Elden Ring speedruns are already completing it in less than 30 minutes

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey cancels console development to focus on PC

Because it still needs fixing Space simElite Dangeroushas gone to the dogs since its latest expansion, Odyssey. Good news for us on PC, I suppose, but oof! Odyssey is the expansion which added first-person exploration and violence on foot. Our own review wasn’t impressed either. “When that happens, I’m sure this will be the place to jump in for new players. But I can’t make that recommendation now.
