Nach wie vor arbeitet Egosoft daran, aus der Weltraum-Simulation X Rebirth (ab 29,99€ bei kaufen) (Wertung: 16%) ein halbwegs funktionierendes Spiel zu machen. Mit Patch 1.25 werden u.a. Änderungen am Unterhaltungssystem eingeführt, die dem Spieler anstelle von zufälligen Belohnungen die Wahl zwischen Gegenständen lassen. Zudem ist es nun möglich Agenten anzuheuern, die Preisentwicklungen auf Stationen im Blick behalten und auf den Bordcomputer übertragen.

Für die Zukunft planen die Entwickler eine Integration des Steam Workshops, ein Redesign der Highways, Interaktion mit NPCs ohne Landung, eine Karte auf dem Ereignisbildschirm, Verbesserter Joystick-Support und verbesserte Menüs.
