To celebrate the launch of X Rebirth VR Edition, we will make all X games available for free for the upcoming weekend on Steam. You can play during the weekend and try out all the games from Egosoft that you do not own yet. Best of all: If you decide you want to buy one of them, there are some massive discounts too. Go and check out our games on Steam.

End of Loyalty Discount: If you own X Rebirth and want VR Edition, buy NOW!

We are going to end the X Rebirth VR Edition loyalty discount on December 10th when this sale ends. So if you own X Rebirth and are considering X Rebirth VR Edition, you can buy it with a 30% loyalty discount added on top of the 20% discount during this weekend at a total of 50% off!


X3: Terran Conflict 3.4 and X3: Albion Prelude 3.3: These two updates bring a couple of low level engine improvements for better performance especially during large battles. We also added a borderless window mode and fixed some bugs. More about these updates here.

X Rebirth VR Edition 4.30: With the launch also come a number of new features for XR VR, including improved HOTAS and Joystick support and a method to play in VR with mouse and keyboard. See different methods of playing X Rebirth VR Edition explained in this video:

X Rebirth 4.30: This update brings a number of improvements for controlling the game. Joystick and HOTAS improvements that we made during the XR VR development have been back ported to X Rebirth and come along with a default profile for some of the most popular sticks. Also controlling the game with gamepads got a lot easier thanks to a number of new features developed for X Rebirth VR Edition. Click here for a full list of features.

The macOS and Linux versions of X3: Albion Prelude have been updated with a fix for some input issues.

The macOS and Linux versions of X3: Albion Prelude have been updated with a fix for some input issues.

Since their last update, we've taken the opportunity to do a couple of things with these games. Most of these are fixes, and have been applied to both games (X3: TC + X3: AP); those of you with many playing hours will be pleased to note that one of these addresses the performance and memory issues that can occur with certain missions.

Modders will find a few small improvements in X3: AP, and players who use the Russian and Chinese localisations will hopefully be pleased to see text improvements that had been made in X3: AP have now been back-ported to X3: TC. Also back-ported to X3: TC, though currently only in the Windows version, is the controller support from X3: AP.

X3:AP 3.2 Changelog:

• Added new script commands and improved modder support.
  
• Fixed mission-related memory leaks and performance issues.
  
• Fixed savegame patching incompatibility issue (failing to load savegames if using custom hotkeys with mod scripts that contain delays).
  
• Fixed exploit in return ship mission where boarded ships remained player owned.
  
• Fixed dual convoy mission stalling if last ship is killed after one has previously docked.
  
• Fixed various minor user interface issues.
  
• Fixed missions in Pirate or Yaki space not selecting correct enemies
  
• Fixed universe trader not buying any upgrades for their ship
  
• Removed escort fighters which were left over by convoy missions in earlier versions

In addition to our big announcement today of the new X Rebirth VR Edition, we are also releasing new public beta updates for several of our existing games.

• X Rebirth 4.10
  
• X3: Albion Prelude 3.2
  
• X3: Terran Conflict 3.3

All three of these updates improve the games, and include a number of fixes and performance improvements that have come to our attention over the past months. These updates will, of course, be made available to everybody once the testing has ended.
