About X4: Foundations

Start Small. Command Everything.

Your journey begins with a single ship - but what you become is up to you. Trade, fight, explore, and build your way to power as you grow from a lone pilot into the leader of a vast space empire. Command fleets, manage resources, and shape the future of the galaxy through your decisions.

A Living, Simulated Universe

The universe of X4 is fully simulated and constantly evolving. Factions trade, build, and wage war independently, reacting dynamically to both your actions and each other. Every station, ship, and economy is part of a living system that continues to grow - with or without your influence.

Build Your Empire

Construct space stations, establish trade networks, and control entire production chains. Design and expand your infrastructure using a modular system, building stations that power your economy, manage supply chains, and automate production as your empire grows into a self-sustaining powerhouse.
