About the game
A space sandbox where you start with a single ship and end up managing fleets, stations and entire economies. The whole universe is simulated — NPC factories genuinely produce and trade — and you can personally fly every ship or command from the map.

German studio Egosoft has been making the X series since X: Beyond the Frontier in 1999; X4 is the entry that won fans back after the poorly received X Rebirth.

Kinguin is a keyshop (marketplace) where independent sellers list keys, so prices are often lower than in official stores. Every offer on ulov.gg is clearly labeled with its store type.
Are keys from these stores legal?
Buying is legal — keys come from the grey market, so a small deactivation risk exists. So before paying, check the seller's buyer protection.
Which key region should I pick?
Global activates everywhere. Regional keys (Europe, North America, RU-CIS) only work on accounts from that region — use the Region filter to match your account.
What is an activation platform?
The service where the key activates — Steam, GOG, Epic or the publisher's platform. A key for one platform won't work on another, hence the separate filter.
What's the difference between editions?
Standard is the base game; Deluxe usually adds an expansion or bonus content. The edition filter shows exactly that variant, with no mixed prices.
