X4: Foundations

X4: Foundations is a space simulation game that begins with the player controlling a single ship. From this starting point, players can expand into trading, combat, exploration and construction, gradually building up fleets, stations and economic networks across a persistent galaxy.

The game features a simulated universe in which independent factions trade, build stations and engage in conflict regardless of player involvement. Players can construct space stations using a modular building system, establish trade routes and manage production chains to develop self-sustaining economic operations. Combat can be handled through direct control of individual ships or through strategic command of larger fleets, covering encounters ranging from small skirmishes to large-scale battles.

X4: Foundations includes ongoing content updates and expansions that add new systems and mechanics, and it supports a modding community that allows players to customise and extend the game further.
