Avoiderdragon: When X Rebirth first came out, it was quite a mess due to being so bug-ridden and broken. It still had quite a bit of potential though, so leaving it to languish would be a waste for the most part. Patches have since fixed a lot of the issues, including overhauls that were quite extensive. Hoping to reverse the bad fortunes of the game, the first expansion DLC has been released, and it does pretty well for itself.
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.
