Robotics;Notes Elite is a sci-fi visual novel and the third mainline entry in the Science Adventure series developed by 5pb. It is an updated re-release of Robotics;Notes, featuring improved character models, short clips of footage from the 2012 anime adaptation added to improve several scenes and adjusted pacing in certain parts of the story, with this PC port additionally featuring new 1080p versions of the game's existing graphical assets.
The game was originally released on the PlayStation Vita in Japan on June 26, 2014, before eventually receiving a PC port and an official English localization on October 14, 2020 alongside its sequel Robotics;Notes DaSH.
The PC port does not support mouse input and its official English localization is considered to be of poor quality. Both issues are rectified by the Robotics;Notes Elite Steam Patch.
