X4: Foundations Update v2.60: What's New and What's Next

X4: Foundations is a space simulation game that lets you fly every ship, explore space, trade, fight, build and think in a living and breathing universe. The game has been receiving regular updates from developer EGOSOFT, adding new features, improvements and fixes. The latest update, version 2.60, is now available for download and brings some significant changes to the game.

What's New in X4: Foundations Update v2.60

According to the official patch notes, update v2.60 improves the in-game economy significantly, making it more dynamic and realistic. It also optimizes navigation, both for the player guidance system and for AI ships, making them more efficient and smarter. Moreover, the update enhances the station overview and the station menu, giving you more information and control over your assets. The update also adds Russian voice recordings to the game, as well as a number of smaller fixes and improvements.

What's Next for X4: Foundations

While update v2.60 is a welcome addition to the game, many players are eagerly awaiting the first expansion for X4: Foundations, called X4: Split Vendetta. The expansion will introduce a new faction, the Split, with their own ships, weapons and stations. It will also add new sectors to explore, new missions to complete, and new challenges to overcome. However, EGOSOFT has recently announced that the expansion and the associated major update 3.0 for X4: Foundations will not be released in the fourth quarter of 2019 as originally planned. Instead, both elements are now scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2020.

Bernd Lehahn, founder and CEO of EGOSOFT, explained the reason for the delay: âWeâre very sorry about this delay and would particularly like to apologise to all owners of the X4: Foundations Collectorâs Edition, which includes the two future expansions. During the development of the X4: Split Vendetta expansion and the 3.0 update, a number of things have emerged that we really want to see implemented, optimised and fixed in time for the next big step forward for X4: Foundations in order to meet our own expectations as well as yours. We simply need a bit more time to do so.â

How to Get X4: Foundations Update v2.60

If you own X4: Foundations on Steam or GOG, you should receive update v2.60 automatically. If not, you can check for updates manually or verify your game files. If you want to try out the upcoming features and changes before they are officially released, you can also opt-in for the public beta version of the game. To do so, you need to visit the official forum of EGOSOFT, where you will find the rules and instructions for participating in the beta.

Conclusion

X4: Foundations is a game that keeps evolving and expanding with each update and expansion. Update v2.60 is a solid improvement that enhances various aspects of the game, while X4: Split Vendetta promises to add even more content and variety to the game. We hope that EGOSOFT will deliver on their vision and make X4: Foundations one of the best space simulation games ever. aa16f39245
