About this bundle

Discover the origins of the X Universe with the X: Gold Bundle, containing the first two chapters of Egosoft’s long-running space simulation series: X: Beyond the Frontier and its expansion X-Tension.

In X: Beyond the Frontier, you play as Kyle Brennan, a test pilot for an experimental spacecraft capable of travelling vast distances without jump gates. When a malfunction traps him in an unknown region of space inhabited by alien races, Kyle must learn to survive, trade, and fight his way through a hostile universe. What begins as a search for a way home becomes a key chapter in the rediscovery of humanity’s place among the stars — and in the shadow of a dangerous machine threat once created by humankind itself.

X-Tension continues the story, expanding the universe and freeing the player from a fixed storyline. Build your own empire, explore more than 90 sectors, trade over 50 types of goods, upgrade your ship with new technologies, and take on missions offered by five unique alien races.

The X: Gold Bundle is where the story of the X Universe begins — a blend of exploration, trading, and discovery that laid the foundation for everything that followed.
