Elite Dangerous commanders should expect Milky Way servers to be offline around 7am UTC on September 30, 2026, for routine maintenance. This scheduled downtime typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes and refreshes persistent galaxy data, including star system and station faction statuses, Powerplay control updates, and new Community Goals. Players will be unable to log in during this period, so planning gameplay sessions accordingly is advised to avoid interruptions.
