20 Jun. 2024: X4: Timelines is set to release today and I'm back in the business. I'm sorry for not releasing the X4: Kingdom End version like I planned. This time for sure expect the latest 1. 50 update in about several weeks since this day.

Introduction
I saw X Rebirth Ambient Music mod here on Nexus and decided to try it. When I looked inside of the mod files I actually changed my mind because I saw the gameripped music in awful XWMA-96 format as X Rebirth provided. Not to mention that X Rebirth OST has much more divine music that wasn't included in that mod or the game itself.
This all inspired me to make this mod with the best X-clusive selection of X-tracks for you. The X4: Foundations ambient music tracks have a very distinct style - slow, spacey and ethereal, slightly muffled and reverbing, with gentle synths and no or very mild percussion. The XR music blends good with this style unlike some of the tracks from earlier games like X3, X2 or X-Tension which are a whole other animal. Because of this stylistic variety I decided to create various music packs for differing player tastes.

It includes a Basic pack with a global sector playlist, and the author also provides companion mods to remove dark ambient and battle music. With 474 endorsements and 12,553 downloads, it's a popular audio overhaul for players wanting more variety.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 474 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Fills a real gap by adding X Rebirth's divine OST that was left out of the base game
- Offers playlist variety so you can tailor the music to your mood
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2022, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest X4 expansions like Timelines
- Author notes a delay for Kingdom End update, so some new sectors might lack custom tracks
- Requires careful setup with packs and playlists, which can be confusing for first-timers
For X4: Foundations players who love the ambient, ethereal music style and want more variety without straying too far from the game's vibe. Also for those who miss X Rebirth's soundtrack and want it integrated into X4. Skip if you prefer the original music or don't want to fiddle with playlist configurations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Read the setup guide carefully – the mod has multiple packs and playlists, and picking the wrong one can ruin the experience.
- If you hate dark ambient tracks that interrupt sector music, grab the X4 No Dark Ambient mod from the same author.
