History
X4: Foundations is the latest title in the X series of space simulation / sandbox games. X games are space simulations played as action games (1st person) in a living and breathing universe. They simulate an entire universe of NPC ships and stations, including a realistic economy. Hundreds of stations and thousands of ships trade goods between each other. Prices change based on supply and demand. Resources are mined, refined into metals, transported to higher level factories and eventually consumed or produced into even higher level goods. This depth is one of the unique characteristics of the series. As a player, you decide how your space adventure will play out. Trade, fight, build and think carefully, while you embark on an epic journey.

Selected Articles
- "Foundations is more of the same niche-scratching space exploration from previous iterations with a more immersive feel and I can't wait to dive back into my personal galaxy. For those that have been watching the X series from the outside, Foundations is a great entry point, provided you meet the beefy system requirements."
- Anthony Marzano, Destructoid - "X4 has been more approachable than any space sim game I have previously attempted and I enjoy the variety of things to do. I have already spent an insane amount of time playing X4 and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon."
- Ryan Engstrom, Gametyrant - "An ambitious, complex sandbox space game that allows you to do almost anything from spacewalking to commanding a carrier with a fleet of ships onboard."
- Gamegrin, Simon Brown
