EGOSOFT has released a new update for “X4: Foundations”. The free update 2.60 is now available and improves the in-game economy significantly.

In addition, the station overview and the station menu have been updated, and Russian voice recordings have been integrated into the game.
TRADE with the Split families or FIGHT against them. BUILD your own station designs based on the new modules and THINK carefully on your path through the new diplomatic missions. “X4: Split Vendetta” is the first of two expansions that will be available to owners of the “X4: Foundations Collector’s Edition”.
X4: Foundations is available on Steam for Windows and Linux.
About X4: Foundations:
Embark on an Epic Journey in Space in the First Person While Flying Every Ship, Building an Empire with Modular Station Construction and Trading in a Fully Simulated and Dynamic Economy that Reacts to Changes on Every Level.
A space simulation played as an action game from the 1st person in a living breathing universe, X4: Foundations delivers the franchise’s most sophisticated universe simulation ever. Players will manage an empire while exploring space in the first person. They can FLY EVERY SHIP, TRADE, and FIGHT to BUILD their empire with modular station construction and think carefully when embarking on an epic journey.
The game is completely realistically simulated and the economy can go through massive changes. No two universes in different player save games will be anything alike after just a few hours of playtime. NPC factions are now able to freely decide what factories and ships to build, and it is all eventually consumed in the ultimate big economy drain: WAR.
It is this realistic simulation at the core which makes all player experiences in that universe so much more authentic. Every action has the potential to influence something else, something bigger. Things do not just happen because of the player, it behaves more like a real true simulation. For instance, when a ship is destroyed, it won’t deliver its goods to a factory, causing prices to increase.
