The first free Beyond update for Elite: Dangerous is coming in Q1 2018, but it’s being kicked off with an open beta for PC players to get a taste of it. The Open Beta begins January 25th, 2018, and will feature some fantastic gameplay at the Beyond content for players to complete. The Wing Missions will offer team-based objectives for players and Commanders will share their adventures and rewards with allies while working together. Advanced in-game Trading Data will empower traders to make better deals and smoother transactions. Information on the galactic economy is now more freely available, allowing every commander to become a master merchant as they journey among the stars. Other updates are coming in Chapter One such as changes to engineering mechanics, mission rewards, and an altered crime and punishment system.
