I'm an Alpha backer! What do I get?
Alpha backers are invited to participate in the Elite Dangerous: Horizons beta and will automatically get access to the full series of expansions the moment they are released! This includes those who bought Alpha access via the store before we launched the game.

Yes! Premium Beta owners also have the Lifetime Expansion Pass by default and can access the Elite Dangerous: Horizons beta as well as the full release when it becomes available.

Elite Dangerous: Horizons is a brand new set of expansions for Elite: Dangerous but is not included in the standard beta package. You can purchase beta access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons on the Frontier Store if you'd like to help us test it!

Can I purchase beta access into the Elite Dangerous: Horizons expansion?
You certainly can, you can purchase beta access for it via our store which will also get you access to Elite Dangerous: Horizons upon release.
Will Elite Dangerous: Horizons be coming to Steam?

Until shortly after launch, and we'll let the community know before it's withdrawn.
Does the Cobra Mk IV promotion only apply during the 'limited time offer' window?
No. It's for anyone who joins us during Season One. The Cobra Mk. 4 offer is not time limited.
Is the Cobra Mark IV a Frontier Store exclusive, or can I buy Horizons on Steam when it's released and get it?
Everyone who owns Season One and Horizons will get access to the Cobra Mk. 4 no matter where you bought your copy.
When will the expansion pass be taken off the store?
No date for this right now but we will let you know before we withdraw it from sale.
Are there any other 'exclusives' coming?
