The definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming’s original open world adventure to the modern generation with a connected galaxy, evolving narrative and the entirety of the Milky Way re-created at its full galactic proportions.
Starting with only a small starship and a few credits, players do whatever it takes to earn the skill, knowledge, wealth and power to survive in a futuristic cutthroat galaxy and to stand among the ranks of the iconic Elite. In an age of galactic superpowers and interstellar war, every player’s story influences the unique connected gaming experience and handcrafted evolving narrative. Governments fall, battles are lost and won, and humanity’s frontier is reshaped, all by players’ actions.

In a post on the official Oculus blog, Oculus has announced that Frontier Development's galaxy-spanning space simulator, Elite Dangerous, will be receiving official support for the Oculus Rift when the headset launches on March 28.
Though VR support for Elite Dangerous technically already exists, it's using older Oculus SDKs that are no longer supported. This announcement confirms that the game will be receiving official support for the latest SDK, thereby fully supporting the upcoming consumer version of the Rift.
Frontier's community manager expanded upon how players who already own Elite Dangerous will access the game via the Oculus Store:
Before the Oculus launch we will be releasing an updated Elite Dangerous build which will contains support for the latest Oculus SDK, available at no additional charge. All of the existing and future customers that have an Oculus Rift consumer headset will be able to use it.
For our existing and future players who wish to migrate over to the Oculus Store, they will be able to get a free code from the Frontier Store (as they do with Steam keys currently). In addition, the Oculus Store will be selling a Deluxe Edition bundle which will include Elite Dangerous, Elite Dangerous Horizons Season Pass, a starter pack of paint jobs and a bobble head. As with Steam, Oculus Store customers will also have to create a Frontier Store account (for no extra charge) as part of the purchase process.
The VR version of Elite Dangerous functions cross-platform, so you will be playing in the same universe as those on PC, Mac, and consoles. Look for it on the Oculus Store on March 28.

Outstanding game - though I'm tired of seeing all the 3rd person videos they use to promote it. There are no 3rd person views short of using the debug camera during which you loose control of your ship.
Guys, add me on Steam so we can play together, my steam nick is GenezisO.
