Earlier this morning, Frontier Developments released the Mac version of Elite: Dangerous to the public after about a month-and-a-half of semi-closed beta (players who had paid to participate in the game’s Alpha and Beta tests, along with Kickstarter backers, were allowed to test the Mac beta starting on its initial March 31 release). Customers who purchased Elite: Dangerous on Steam will automatically have the Mac version added to their accounts; direct customers will need to download the Mac launcher from Frontier to install the Mac version.
Earlier Mac beta versions also required the installation of the Mono framework in order to properly install and launch; the release version also appears to have this requirement.
The Mac version has undergone extensive port work, with the core rendering engine adapted fully to OpenGL. Although Elite: Dangerous will next see release on Xbox One, creator and lead designer David Braben remains cautiously optimistic that the game will also eventually be released for Linux.
