Unfortunately we are unable to offer this update on Mac due to several severe issues that popped up after migrating to Unreal Engine version 4.14. We're still working on solutions, but chances are high that we will have to wait for a new Unreal Engine version before we can release the update.

…We've just released a new update. Highlights include functional cockpit displays and the addition of a mysterious alien race, referred to as "The Ancients".
You can see the complete list of changes below.
We're able to offer this update on Mac as well, however with a slight delay of about 8 hours as something went wrong during build process. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Version 0.5 and 0.6 fell off the back of a gigantic space truck, if you're wondering. Kidding aside, a lot of comments indicated that version numbers were often being associated with completion percentage (though they're really just numbers to us), so we've decided to play along and go with version 0.7 - as the inclusion of the functional cockpits, the Glyphs and the Ancients are all big additions and we're fast-approaching full release.
New Features
- Added mysterious alien race, referred to as "The Ancients"
- Added ancient structures, which

…Hi, we've just released a new update adding 4k support for Xbox One X at 30 fps and an Xbox One X performance mode running in Full HD with imrpoved graphics at 60 fps.
The update also comes with some bug fixes. See the list of changes below. Unfortunately, Unreal Engine 4.17 (which this new patch is using) broke our VR implementation, so we can't release this patch on Steam and GOG at the moment. So in order to release we need to have a running Unreal Engine 4.18 version. We started working on this a few weeks ago and are still not finished, as this version also caused a lot of problems (especially in VR) for us.
We also just started working on the Encounters expansion for Xbox One / Windows Store. This might take a few weeks as well.
New FeaturesTweaks
- Xbox One: Added Enhanced FullHD and 4K Mode for Xbox One X
- Don't spawn old player wreck after current run was won
- Make sure generic repair
