What it is
X Rebirth is a space flight and trading simulation developed and published by Egosoft. Set during upheaval in the X universe, it follows a young adventurer and an ally traveling in an old ship as events unfold across the galaxy. The game combines space combat, trading and exploration, with fast travel among its gameplay elements. Its simulated economy gives cargo and destinations consequences: stopping a freighter can prevent its goods from arriving and affect prices. Battles range from small skirmishes to fleet encounters. X Rebirth is a single-player game for Windows, macOS and Linux, with Steam Workshop, achievements, trading cards, controller support, captions, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing listed. The supplied store description presents it as an entry point for newcomers while retaining depth for series fans, and its feature set spans both economic and combat activity.
