A Mac version will be "available soon" for €19.99, according to publisher Deep Silver and developer Egosoft.

Albion Prelude offers a storyline that will lead up to the release of new game X: Rebirth. It spins some yarn about corporations vying for power. And where have we heard that one before, Sony and Microsoft?

Also, crucially, there's support for head tracking.
