Do whatever you want... in space.

X Gold, X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion & X3: Terran War Pack, a series of sandbox space-simulators, are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. Look out for the games at up to 75% off in the <span class="bold">Classic X Pack</span> during the Big Fall Promo, or grab the games individually at 50% off.


The X games - X Gold, X2: The Thread, X3: Reunion & X3: Terran War Pack - are a series of some of the most ambitious and sophisticated space-roaming simulators ever created. This is no exaggeration.

The universe is a vast, ruthless place, a true final frontier, where the strong and cunning prosper while the weak are eaten up alive without mercy. But do you have the guile and determination to make it?
The X Series are true sandboxes - you are in charge of your destiny from the second you leave the hangar for the first time, until the moment you deem yourself satisfied with your galactic conquest.

Even though the complexity may be overwhelming to newcomers, the rewards are incredible: in the X Series you can do whatever you want. Become a roaming mercenary - go from nimble fighters to hulking destroyers, join one of the many factions in war, build and maintain a massive trading empire from rags to riches, even own your own trading posts and facilities. The possibilities are incredible.

You can now grab the entire series at up to 75% off in the <span class="bold">Classic X Pack</span> during the Big Fall Promo!

Trade, Fight, Build, Think in X Gold, X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion & X3: Terran War Pack, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com

Lemon_Curry: By the way, why is X2: The Threat cheaper (discount excluded) than the first and third games?
This question of the Curry Operator is a good one. I also would like to know that.

Lemon_Curry: By the way, why is X2: The Threat cheaper (discount excluded) than the first and third games?
It looks like for the first and third games GOG has combined what would be two items in each case on Steam. Instead of X: Gold, Steam has X: Beyond the Frontier and X: Tension. Instead of X3: Terran War Pack, Steam has X3: Albion Prelude and X3: Terran Conflict.

X2: The Threat is actually $1 more on GOG, but thanks to X3: Terran War Pack being $6 cheaper than buying X3: Albion Prelude and X3: Terran Conflict on Steam, the series as a whole is $5 cheaper here, being $46 in total compared to $51 on Steam.

Ah, that would certainly explain it. Thanks for clearing it up! :)

whystler2012: By the way, my all time favorite soundtrack of the series: Home of the gates.

Enjoy!
This is my favourite, so relaxing. I jump to Kingdoms End time to time just to listen to this track.

korell: How well do these games play with mouse and keyboard? Only I don't have a joystick and even if I did I don't have the desk space to use one effectively.
I played mostly through the gamepad and keyboard. The most used functions like combat ones and docking mapped to the gamepad of course.

l0rdtr3k: What Steam?
Shhhh, someone might hear. With Steam you can end up both wet and burnt.

real.geizterfahr: Stupid question: Owners of the physical Superbox can redeem the games on Steam (which I never did) with the serial code (which is fully optional) from the box. Do you plan to do the same here on GOG? Would be a nice addition to your Reclaim Your Game project which still looks a bit empty.
I forgot all about that. Looks like I didn't miss much. Stalker was the only one from the list I had on disc and I had already bought it on GOG at the time. Since then I don't think I've heard much about this one.

budejovice: I'll write a ticket, but this should be automatic.

Marioface5: Agreed. There will be tons of people who bought the bundle before the price fix who won't even know there was ever an issue, and they are no less deserving of getting the difference back than forum users are.
Yep agreed on that. Looks like I bought it at the pre-correction price. Wouldn't have noticed except someone commented on an earlier comment of mine so I decided to browse further through the thread.

Debating if I should hassle support for what is AUD $1.40 difference. Guess everything adds up.

Mm.. I think I'll only buy X3:TWP at some point.

B5 X3TC Trailer
Posted November 10, 2015
Hmmmmm ... good stuff.

Just replayed the first part a month ago.
Happy to see it here now too.
Posted November 10, 2015
So tempted to just buy X3:TWP because of a DRM free Albion Prelude but as an owner of the SuperboX myself I'll put it on hold, as much as it tingles, until the neXt sale to see if GOG manages to strike a similar deal like what was mentioned before.
(Also Egosoft *did*, back then, publish a version of Albion Prelude that you were able to patch into your X3:TC without needing Steam - but I don't know if they were forced to remove that later on...)
