About Frontier: Elite II

Frontier: Elite 2 is, of course, the sequel to Elite and it continues in much the same way. You have a ship and limited funds, and nowhere to go but out into space. Trade, fight, hunt criminals, work for the various governments, anything goes in Frontier. There are few, if any, limits on what you can do or where you can go. And Frontier's universe (with approx. 100,000,000,000 planets and moons) is so big you'll never see the end of it.

Frontier: Elite II port: quick answers

Do I need to own Frontier: Elite II?
Yes. FrontierC needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Frontier: Elite II port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 0.1.1.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. FrontierC rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.

Maintain FrontierC?

You're opening a third-party site

  • PlayPorted doesn't run or check this site, and hasn't verified the software it offers. Download and run it at your own risk.
  • You need your own copy of the game. Legitimate projects never give you the game files.
  • If the site looks wrong or hands out game files, report the link and we'll look into it.
