X4: Foundations

X4: Foundations is the ultimate space sandbox for players who want to do everything. Build a fleet, manage an empire, trade across galaxies, engage in epic space battles—or just chill in your fully customized ship, hopping between planets and space stations. It’s the kind of game where you start in a tiny fighter and end up running a galactic corporation, one trade route or turret at a time.

Developed by Egosoft, X4 is the latest entry in the long-running X series, and it finally delivers on the dream of seamless space gameplay. You can walk around space stations, dock your ships manually, command fleets, build factories, and even switch between ships at will, all without a single loading screen.

The game has seen huge improvements since launch, with regular updates and expansions adding new factions, ships, stories, and even dynamic diplomacy and real-time economies that respond to your actions.
