X4 Foundationsis a sandbox space simulator released on PC, the title was developed by Egosoft, the creators of all previous entries in the series.
The main basis of the game is freedom. At the beginning of X4: The Foundations for PC, the player controls a cheap spaceship with weak specifications and is being launched into the middle of an open galaxy. What he does next is entirely up to him. The game does not limit player actions in any way. The user can freely decide whether to become a space trader, a pirate, a soldier, a bounty hunter, an assassin, a discoverer or a miner. It is also possible to combine several career options.
The virtual universe is a dynamic world that is being shaped by the player's actions. The game offers more possibilities than other similar titles, as it is possible for the player to build his own space stations and armadas of ships that can be used to wage war against hostile factions.
The game is considered a return to the series' roots. Unlike 2014's X Rebirth, which simplified the game in many ways, X4 is based on the mechanics of the much more complex and advanced X3 Terran Conflict (2008). At the same time, it introduces many improvements and new features.
