Congratulations to everyone on this holiday! Yay!👍

[@egosoft]

Thank you for all your fantastic videos and streams throughout the years, it's very much appreciated! /greg

[@wiktorwektor123]

I started late, from X3: Terran Conflict but this universe and possiblities it gives are almost endless. True sandbox. Cograts Egosoft on your success. I've preordered X4: Collectors Edition directly from you (now I have all DLC's) because I knew you will develop very good game despite bumpy start. I wasn't wrong. I can't wait for 7.0

[@ihmotep59]

An amazing game! Can't wait for the future updates!

[@khugansixtyeight]

What a ship to end on, the Behemoth E! This makes me very happy. Thank you Egosoft!!

[@TheYdyp]

Sure looking way better then the current Behemoth, though wonder if they also get the same treatment as the E line for Paranid with the stats re balancing.

[@zackbummtot2906]

This game is a playable dream. Keep up the good work. For the future I would love to get a station modul with a wide panoramic view to open space.

[@dr4t]

One of the most underrated series of all time!

[@Naivs11]

Thanks you Egosoft for brilliant game, best space game for now! 🚀

[@StikoNiko]

GRATULATION !!! Ich spiele ihre Reihe seit 2002. Sie haben mir 20 Jahre dauerhaften Spielespaß beschert. Nur wegen der X-Reihe habe ich mir immer aktuelle PCs gekauft. Und mit dem F6-Stream in X4 haben Sie das Spiel noch einmal revolutioniert. Nun ist das Universum wie ein Kinofilm. X4 ist ihr Meisterwerk. DANKE !!!

[@repatomonor21]

Happy birthday X4 and X2! Two really great games!

[@Lyamecron]

Thank you Bernd and team - the X-Series has accompanied me ever since growing up. It has been great to see you coming up with new ideas and concepts and making one of the best space game series ever. Thank you!

[@bulletstop100]

I am just loving X4 Foundations. I am playing patch 6.2 and it is awesome. I expect nothing less since I have playing your games since XBTF!!

[@ShadowWalker2006]

The freedom of the X universe and the detailed "do whatever you want" sandbox gameplay really is what makes X4 so unique. You can spend hundrets of hours into one playthrough and yet the next one might be completely different. Love the game, keep it up guys

[@TESI303]

Very Nice. Thank you Egosoft for such a beautiful and amazing game!

[@wescoopdol]

It's incredible what egosoft has accomplished in the last 5 years with x4. I've been playing X4 since 1.00 and to see the changes and the dedication over the years is impressive. Great job egosoft!

[@HandleMyBallsYouTube]

Super excited for new E ships, the Paranid ones already in the game were a HUGE improvement, same with the DLC ships which are just phenomenal when it comes to aesthetics, as well as their functionality in the game.

[@midooeuf]

I've always been intimidated by the X series, and finally took the plunge this summer. I found myself taking some time off work to devour the incredible game X4 with 1K+ hours in 2 months (and buy the games in the series I've been missing). Many thanks to you for all the great games you've made and will continue to make.

[@baneblackguard584]

it's an intimidating game series. but man if you are willing to put in the time and effort into the game, the return is phenomenal.

[@user-fd7xp1sb2v]

Спасибо большое Egosoft, эта игра восхитительна!!! Thank you very much Egosoft, this game is amazing!!!

[@marathonec0169]

И Вам огромное спасибо за то, что подарили нам эту серию! Так же, хочу Вас поблагодарить за то, что Вы не бросаете серию X не смотря ни на что и даже давно выпущенные игры, Вы продолжаете развивать и совершенствовать! От себя же, хочу Вам пожелать успешного полёта, в этом тернистом пути к звёздам о7! And thank you so much for giving us this series! Also, I want to thank you for not giving up the X series no matter what, and even long-released games, you continue to develop and improve! On my own behalf, I want to wish you a successful flight on this thorny path to the stars o7!

[@planexshifter]

Thank you Egosoft! Over 1,400 hours into X4 and I am nowhere near done!

[@mycu6351]

thanks Egosoft, thanks Bernd for delivering the best game I had ever played. Game that makes me calm and excited at the same time. Happy to hear about the upcoming Existential Crisis feature and seeing those ships updated. Congratulations on the work done through all the years, and please just keep doing it :)

[@punisher9899]

Game is amazing, Congratulations. You can only go up from here.

[@AnnuMakt]

Great game from a dedicated and amazing company, thank you and congratulations for 5 years of X4!!!

[@3komma141592653]

The community is lucky to have a dev team that actually listens to feedback! Just got myself some DLCs this week! Keep up the great work. I also think way to many people still don't know this game, so there is a lot of space to expand into, in terms of player count! Happy anniversary!

[@darthdev]

Thanks Egosoft for your X franchise. You're definitely something else, unique ❤

[@TheXeroziX]

Oh wow did I see a hud, in 3rd person mode!? Loving the revamp and inclusion of the E class ships! Hope to see the Khaak make a return on MASS, those corvettes and destroyers from X2/X3 still give me nightmares.

[@groepaz]

I've been there since the first X - and remember my first 2 hours when I tried in vain several times to get through the rings and then dock at the station - that was frustrating and in retrospect brilliant. Since then I've played all parts and currently have almost 2000 hours on X4. And still no end - you just can't get enough. Keep up the good work Egosoft!

[@x70222]

You guys deserve so much credit. This is the most amazing game ever made. This game really shows what can be done with hard workd and dedication. There are a lot of AAA studios that really could learn a lot from this game. I will be a day 1 player for ANY future game you guys come out with! Thank you for all you do!

[@MegaJohnny]

Congratulations! Thanks so much for pouring your passion and expertise into this series. It really is one-of-a-kind, and has only grown in its uniqueness over the iterations. As always, the art team have knocked it out of the park with the E ships shown here. Roll on DLC5 and 7.00!

[@patrickbroyer5253]

Congratulations from Düren! Follow you the half of my lifetime. Best wishes EGOSOFT for another five years with X4 und another twenty years and more with the X-Universe!

[@JHerpi]

Wir haben zu danken eurer beispielloses Engagement in das Spiel nein in die ganze Serie muss man ja inzwischen sagen und eure Einbindung der Moder der Community und das Feedback auf die Wünsche der Fans und der Community sind einfach beispiellos und machen es eine Freude für jeden Fan die Entwicklung über Jahre zu verfolgen, ich hoffe, dass euer Einsatz für das Spiel, die Fans und die Firma noch viele Jahre belohnt wird und wir noch oft uns über immer wieder neue Erweiterungen Details und Verbesserungen freuen dürfe ich persönlich bin schon Fan der ersten stunde und die Entwicklung über Jahrzehnte zu sehen seit X Beyond the Frontie bis X4 heute war und ist eine bemerkenswerte Reise, die ich niemals missen wollte immer weiter so

[@pliniocarvalho6288]

This is the game I have played the most in my life, I have played 1144 hours and I continue to play it all the time. I love this game, I'm very happy that it exists. Congratulations on 5 years, here's to another 5, 10, 20 years of X games.

[@JureRepinc]

Congrats on the anniversary and thanks for the great game, especially for supporting GNU/Linux with the native binary. Hope to see even more story/campaign content added in the future

[@Mightimus]

X4 developers are real people of dedication, nothing but respect. Awesome game.

[@Deathbunnygirl]

I love everything about Egosoft and X4. Dedicated to their craft, DLC that is more than just content, Linux support, constantly improving the base game, the praise is endless!

[@kazunoko0008]

素晴らしい。５周年おめでとうございます。ユーザーとして、とても嬉しく思います。急ぐことはありません。遅くても良いので、私たちユーザーに素晴らしいものを届けてください。今後も期待、応援しています。

[@Raymus42]

Wow, X2 was my first game in the series. I still have fond memories of the game. The atmosphere with the graphics and the soundtrack was just great. X4 is probably my most played X-game now, and it's truly amazing to see how far the series has come. Happy birthday to both games! That Behemoth - E looked real sexy, btw. Looking forward to what's to come.

[@qazi8514]

Спасибо за игру! Вы лучшие!👍

[@LordFabey]

I bought the game around one week ago, & I love it, I am so excited to hear that the development is still going on! :D Greetings from the Ruhrpott xD

[@net2000man]

Somehow I am hoping that X4 Foundations will continue to be loved the way Skyrim is, let's make this game last for 20 years!!!

[@MichaelCordeiro]

Really the best space sim out there. The support has been amazing since launch and I’ve spent countless hours exploring this amazing universe. Thank you for all your work Egosoft and looking forward to next year. Happy 5th!

[@Miithrandir]

I can't believe i started 20 years ago with X2. I remember this purpleish strange box! Soo many times, and here you are now, with X4. An awesome game! Good job. I'll still fellow you and talk about your games around me. Can't wait for 7.00!

[@robertglancer347]

First congrats for all of these years you have given us players to enjoy, indeed I am here from BTF , I only messed X Tension but played for years also X2, can't believe it has been over 20 years, you are an amazing Game devs no question about that and Thank you very much 🙏😁

[@asgarzigel]

Thank you for the great game! The X series had a special place in my heart from the very beginning.

[@Kimperton]

You are best! Thank you for your great game! 🤘🤘🤘

[@ft6755]

Congratulations Egosoft, you should be very proud of your creation.

[@dantechnik]

Thanks for all the work you do. I love that it’s such a Labour of love for you guys you can see that so clearly. Keep doing what you do.

[@user-pk2yf1di4k]

Thank you very much! Be with us! 👏👏👏

[@onetwo3806]

OMG, your behavior is so different from the behavior of CA (Total War series). You really respect your customers. Love that. And love your games. Good luck!

[@foobarbazbaa5598]

So happy to see the updated Behemoth and Pelican models. Looking amazing. Thanks Bernd for decades of awesome gameplay!

Congratulations Egosoft and Bernd for the 5 X-tastic years!! Thank you for this incredible game, and the continuous support and adding new content. Fantastic to see new E models of Teladi and Argon capital ships in the new patch, hope SCA will have the access to them too ;)

[@rybuds47]

You have given me so many interesting and relaxing hours. The ships look awesome! You guys rock!

[@tarax007]

I was 13 when I first started playing X2 on release. It makes me very happy seeing the X universe thriving to this day!

[@RIMASBRO]

Congratulations! 💫

[@g04tn4d0]

It's such an incredible improvement over the previous X titles. Heck, it's serious contender for best space-trading game overall.

[@g0g0s]

I was a 5 year old boy when I first launched X Tension in 2000. And I am still exploring X-Universe. Thank you Egosoft

[@SashaAvendale]

Не за что и всегда пожалуйста 🙂 Freues Neues Jahr! Wir warten auf neue Meisterwerke von Ihnen! 🤩💯🛰🚀

[@sapferon936]

Благодарю вас за потрясающий космический мир который вы открыли для нас всех! С нетерпением и восторгом жду дальнейшего развития Х4 и серии в целом. Молодцы!

[@wadzar]

I grew up with X2 and absolutely LOVE X4! Congrats to the team, both current and anybody who worked on this terrific series! Take care!

[@servalcanet]

Thank you, ma I just joined this beautiful game and its community, forward!!, made with love

[@astreas5517]

Congratulations to everyone! Keep up the good work there, I'm very excited about 7.0! Long live queen Polypheides!

[@razzo9407]

Thank you very much for the great job of creating the game and the entire X series! And also for your imagination, creativity, hard work and attention to the players!

[@TechnoQuista]

Congratulations Bernd 🎉Thank you for such a fantastic journey. What an incredible achievement the X series has been. X4 foundations is now the only game I play.

[@whitechapel_1888]

X4 is one of my most favourite games made. I can't wait to see what you have in store next year!

[@joeyharper4052]

I remember when i started playing this game I was just so blown away because it is essentially everything I want in space game. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@blindmown]

My main wants from the future of X4: - Improve the station building tool - hire some modders as advisors, some of them are great at balancing the game. - expand in person gameplay. I want to be able to physically board a ship and fight the occupants. Also would like more ship interior space with more reasons to use them. And that's about it. Love the game. Merry Christmas Egosoft team!

[@farmasirich]

Happy birthday X4! Thank you Bernd and team!

[@absurdthoughts4373]

When X:Beyond the frontier was released, I was in my early 20s. Time flies! Keep it up guys, we got your back!

[@Yokenshiro11]

X-games were always prized jewels, with living breathing world, amazing work you guys rock !! even though gaming communities are slowly shifting away from solo games formulas you still always had a place on my hardrives, i really hope that one day you guys release either a survival based game online or an mmo in space that would be so cool

[@alexl832]

Congrats! Thanks for a great game!

[@Urruchi1]

Congrats devs for such a fantastic game!!

[@chrisnaumann6169]

I'm so happy to see the new ships of the base races. It was a really big wish from me. I play X since the first game. And I hope we see more x in the future.

[@IndustrialBonecraft]

Easily my favourite space sim. Congrats, and best of luck in the future!

[@sneiks8569]

This game is insane, please do continue to make it better, because its guaranteed to grow further

[@Hehedada]

Thank you for these great games and especially for keeping them up to date until even today!

[@luchezarro]

Спасибо, за ваши игры! Уникальная серия, ничего похожего не выходит!

[@chilliewhk]

Happy anniversary! Thank you for creating and supporting this game. The whole team should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. Eagerly looking forward to the future of the X universe!

[@Kulzar]

Thanks for making this game a reality!

[@xzaratulx]

version7 .. new DLC .. Stuff I like to hear about X4. Thx guys to constantly evolve this game. So far it was a blast to play.

[@user-dt5ye2tj9x]

спасибо ) с первых иксов вы не перестаёте удивлять любителей космосов качественной работой! всех Вам благ !

[@breedapart51229]

Thank you to the Egosoft team. I remember being a teenager and receiving X2 when I purchased an ATI 9800 (I think, it was 20 years ago). From the first day I played it I couldn't put it down. I became a fan then, and will remain a fan always. I remember lugging my computer around on family trips just so I could play. Even managed to be part of the beta test team for X3. Now that I think back the X games have been there at every significant moment of my life. I look forward to another twenty years. Thank you to your entire team.

[@Terran150]

YES! After paranid ships rework, teladi ones surely next that wanted some bit of love, and they got it. ❤ EDIT: oh and argon too!

[@Schizm1]

One of the best games I ever played! Thank you for making a dream space-sim for single player gamers! Cheers!

[@Dtspawn]

I LOVE X series from the very beginning! Starting from X: Beyond the Frontier I can't stop playing it. You had your ups and downs, but this... This that your are doing now... Just awesome! Спасибо!

[@Malakie]

Looking forward to the future!!

[@draxx85]

The x series is a masterpiece. Not just this one but all of them!

[@sparalem7455]

I love X4 Fondation (more than X3) and I'm happy to play again and again after some stop, just to see what you add and see what better the game is. It's something I like a lot with you, your game always win quality over time, thank you for all patches and DLC, keep it up !

[@diggitdude82]

X2 was my intro to the X-verse. This was in my early 20's and the days of boxed software. I knew it would be a rare find in my area and I remember having to check stores almost daily for weeks after release. I was so amped when finally that single box on the shelf suprised the heck out of me. Thank you Bernd and Ego! Your passion and dedication have kept me loyal for going on 20yrs.

[@ajpuzzleferret]

Wonderful game, tons of fun with an awesome dev team! Greatly looking forward to whatever new content you have upcoming :D

[@carolinas8886]

And looking forward to your new content when they have new content :D

[@ajpuzzleferret]

@@carolinas8886 Its always exciting getting back in the captains chair :D

[@Al_Nepalitsov]

Спасибо за лучшие игры про космос!

[@aarobriggs2665]

Congratulations! 6.0 and introducing the Boron's was my reason to finally join the game. For x5 please bring all X races in the game at the beginning. For me you can bring DLC each six months but dont for things which are essential ♥

[@lcdregjlandry8528]

X4 - simply a great game!!!!

[@nachos10879]

Wonderful evolution of the game. I have been making some X4 videos, and will be able to do more with new camera. Running X4 playtime for 2500 Hrs xD

[@stahlknecht7872]

Thx EGOSOFT for your great Games: X2, X3 and now X4 ! 😘

[@originalcaruso]

Hard to believe it's been 20 years. I remember X2 being previewed at Jodrell Bank and purely co-incidentally, revisited Jodrell Bank this past weekend. Hopefully many more years ahead Bernd and team

[@Ovog95]

Congratulations! Been with X since the first entry, I love the work that you have been doing

[@Lc4Hunter]

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag X2 und X4!

[@scott-richards]

Congrats! Vid was awesome, the Pelican and Collossus look great! Can't wait to see what else you add to my favorite game. Cheers.

[@Tanvaras]

X4 Foundations and all the previous X games have been a joy to play, thank you Egosoft for making such fun game that entertain us for 100's to 1000's of hours.

[@RmFrZQ]

I've grown with X series, from X:BtF, jaw-dropping at its time, to X4, the technology marvel. Its the game to play for eternity.
