X3: Gold Edition Released, Terran Conflict Updated
October 15, 2009 | Erik Johnson
Developer Egosoft has announced the release of X3: Gold, a two game, one soundtrack package now available for purchase on Steam. The discounted strategy simulation bundle contains both X3: Reunion and X3: Terran Conflict as well as the official Terran Conflict soundtrack.
The bundle is built for savings, running $20 less than the price of the games individually–and more specifically costing the exact same as Terran Conflict by itself. Speaking of which, the game has been updated to v2.5, bringing a sizable list of fixes, additions and improvements to the game.
Patch notes after the jump.
