Egosoft has announced that the long awaited 4th part of the X series, X4: Foundations, will release on November 30th. In addition, the team has revealed the game’s official PC system requirements via its Steam store page.
X4: Foundations promises to feature an extremely large universe from day one, in which players will be able to manage an empire or explore space in first person. Players will be able to fly every ship, trade and fight to build their empire with modular station construction and think carefully when embarking on an epic journey.
According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel i5-4590 with 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780/970. Egosoft recommends an Intel Core i7-6700K with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD equivalent. It’s also worth noting that the game will support the Vulkan API, and that it require 12GB of free hard-disk space.
Last but not least, Egosoft has released some new trailers that you can find below!

As much as I want to play this I know better by now than to pickup a Egosoft game at launch.
I hated X-Rebirth but I am a fan of all of their other games so I will definitely be getting this. I hope they got rid of the space highways.
Wait a year after picking this up
Oh hell yes, so glad that X4 is finally coming out. The series has always met it’s mark except one slip-up which they apparently have realized was awful and this game seems to be moving away from that.
Whaaat?
“Minimum graphics: Nvidia GTX 780/970”
Between those two there is big gap… wtf
12 gb hdd space is pretty fishy.
Is this relatable to Star Citizen ? If so, how long has this been in development ?
I tried playing the first 2 i found them incredibly boring and no i am not a freelancer fan. Whats the point of those series? Trading? Till the end of time?
