avoiderdragon: Space trading and combat simulators are undoubtedly a niche market in gaming, but it has always enjoyed a loyal following of gamers who are into exploring the expanses of space and going up against space pirates, rogue mercenaries, and such. That’s the reason why EVE Online has enjoyed so much success, even though those who aren’t into it tend to label it as a boring and sleep-inducing game. Those who do get it are into games like Freelancer and the X series, the latter of which now has its latest iteration, which was set as a reboot of the franchise.
A remake of X Rebirth: Home of Light for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift has been released into Early Access.
EGOSOFT has announced that the Birth of Light expansion and the 4.0 update will be launched for their spaceship sim X Rebirth this coming February 2016. Preorders for the expansion are now available as well.
GG3 writes: "Grand space sci-fi game, X Rebirth, has announced a permanent price drop. Additionally, as the game moves to update 3.50, a free-to-play weekend for that iteration, as well as the entire X series, will be held on March 13 to March 15, 2015 on Steam."
