Deal Details
Steam has XCOM 2 (PC Digital Download) on sale for $2.99.

Humble Bundle also has XCOM 2 (PC Digital Download) on sale for $2.99.

Thanks to community member JohnDubya for sharing this deal.

About this game:
  • XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.
  • Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet's last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
  • Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.

Great game. Check your Gog account because this was a freebie with Amazon prime at some point in the past.

After playing the vanilla campaign once or twice, pick up War of the Chosen expansion.

Always appreciate these reminders, thanks! I remember hearing about the XCOM games in the 90s but never got around to playing any of them.

Fantastic game. I played it on Switch and after a full run through I picked it up on PC. Graphics and performance were WAY better on PC, but I loved the portability of switch.

One of the greatest turn based strategy games of all time. Easily worth this price. As others have mentioned the War of the Chosen DLC is well worth it. And after all that if you still want more there's a great mod scene out there too.

As someone who played the vanilla version, what does the expansion/dlc do?

I paid full price for this and was worth every penny. WOTC was kinda meh for me except seeming to ramp up the difficulty, and it is already a hard game in later levels.

They add "boss" aliens to encounters, have a few new encounter formats, and several 'sub finale' fights as well as a proper finale fight (but that is sort of a let down, 'cause your squads are so bada$$ by then, baddies don't have much of a chance). Oh, and there's 3 specialty classes, but reapers are the ones you fall in love with.
If you liked vanilla XCOM2, it's well spent $$$.

For replayability get the wotc. All mods now are made for that version. Wotc is more than just dlc it reworks the whole game
