Hello {USER}

It's been more than two full years since X4: Foundations was released, and many of you have played the game for hundreds of hours. We couldn't be happier about this! If you've been asking yourself what else you could possibly do in X4: Foundations, then read on, because this is specifically for you.

For those of you with an abundance of spare resources, we’re adding a new end-game activity in 4.00. This involves initiating projects for planetary improvements, including several types of infrastructure development, with the aim of making specific planets more habitable. We're calling this "Terraforming" and you may already have heard us talk about it in our gamescom 2020 live-stream.


In terms of gameplay, you will be undertaking new missions that serve as entry points to the Terraforming feature. Settlements will form, and landscapes can be changed through the investment of time and resources. And, as if the thought of shaping the universe wasn't exciting enough, there may even be other rewards involved.

Just to be clear about one thing – you won't be landing on any planets! You will, however, have a closer involvement with them than you have ever had in any X series game to date. We would love to hear your experiences with this new feature, especially if you're one of those end-game pilots.

Want to check this new element out ahead of the public release of the 4.00 update? You can by participating in the currently running 4.00 beta phase. Just visit our forum for an instruction on how to do so. If you'd like to get a little bit of guidance on how to terraform, please check out our Steam news.

Enjoy your space travels, leave a review for X4: Foundations on Steam or GOG, wishlist our upcoming expansion X4: Cradle of Humanity and stay safe!
