The sequel to the 2012 award-winning strategy game has arrived. XCOM 2 is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM with a special 75% discount lasting until 30th March 2020, 1 PM UTC. Earth is under alien rule. Facing almost impossible odds you must rebuild XCOM and ignite a global resistance to reclaim our world and save humanity.

Apart form the base game, also XCOM 2's DLCs receive special discounts until 30th March 2020, 1 PM UTC. During that time, if you buy all the XCOM 2 titles, you will receive an additional 51% discount on the whole bundle.

Ixamyakxim: Fucking AWESOME!

An original X-Com fan (easily still in my top 10, probably top 5), I loved the first console reboot but had given up on console gaming by the time this one released.

Super excited to play this!

QUESTION - is War of the Chosen a seperate campaign, or is it woven into the main campaign if you have the add-on?

I'm on the fence if I want to play just base game, or maybe pepper in some of the addon stuff (I'm leaning toward base and then maybe saving the other stuff for an "enhanced" second playthrough).
War of the Chosen is a seperate campaign in the same vain as Enemy Within.

Oh yes, YET ANOTHER game gets a "QUIPLE release" on GOG. Sure. "Why not".
Seriously GOG - I LOVE ur platform - BUT if you keep doing that then you are LITERALY fending off Linux userbase (in cases such as this it is often better to just buy the game on steam instead of here).
This is YET ANOTHER game that ORIGINALLY (for example on steam) had and HAS NATIVE LINUX PORT but when released on Gog it suddenly gets released with ONLY windows port! This is a bunch of BS... AGAIN...
It was the case with Metro series and a bunch of other games and now THIS.
Seriously GOG I am supporting you, I am rooting for you, I love your platform, but I can only get so much slapsticks in my face. Could you PLEASE ALREADY go chase FERAL INTERACTIVE and make them release coresponding LINUX PORTS here?! At this point I am seriously starting to belive that you are not even TRYING to do so.
Like whenever Linux gets brought up in a discussion here you are like "yes, yes, we are working on it(or are we?), we will do it "SOMEDAY" " .
Seriously start treating your Linux userbase equally to ur windows userbase! >:(

Themken: No personal experience but it is listed on Steam as running on SteamOS/Linux so it should be possible one way or another.
It is not "running" on Linux. It is LITERALLY a native port. LITERALLY Feral Interactive made a NATIVE PORT and it IS available on Steam.

https://www.feralinteractive.com/en/games/xcom2/

This is just YET ANOTHER case when Gog failed to release "ANYTHING-OTHER-THAN-WINDOWS".
So this is the case of "you want to play on Linux and get the game on Gog? Well too bad. You are gonna have to use translation layers". OR just get the game on Steam when Linux is properly treated. It is exactly like that now.
Seriously a bunch of BS...

karnak1: Thank you very much!

Well... that settles it, then.
Instabought!
Very welcome!

I bought the whole collection as well. Seems like a reasonable price for full game.

70GB to download tho, that's heavy! :D

The Linux (and Mac) version was made by a third party, namely Feral Interactive. They're known for not wanting to have anything to do with the likes of GOG. Unfortunately, this seems to be true for most (if not all) porting companies.

Typical that GOG customers get treated like second-class citizens again via having the multiplayer completely gutted out of this XCOM 2 game on GOG, whilst Steam gets both multiplayer and also cross-platform multiplayer for the same game.

Why even wait 4 years to release it on GOG then? They could have just as well gutted the multiplayer for the GOG version and released it on GOG on day one in 2016 (not that that have been okay either).

At least they didn't shaft GOG customers on Achievements, so I give them credit for that.

And GOG is missing DLCs as well? That's just adding insult to injury. It doesn't matter if the DLCS are bad and/or undesirable to many customers. They still should not be missing.

No, it seems all DLC are here. The "missing" DLCs are packaged as one:

DLC's are not missing here, they are just structured differently. "Reinforcements pack" packs 3 DLC that are separate on steam.

I stand corrected about the DLC point. Why is multiplayer missing though? Why is it that they can bother to make Crossplay between other platforms, but not between Steam and GOG? And why doesn't it even have Galaxy-only multiplayer, which would still be a terrible downgrade, but at least better than no multiplayer at all.

No DLC is missing...

I honestly haven't heard anyone who cares for the mp portion of either Xcom EU or Xcom 2, it's a shallow tacked on feature and not especially well implemented either.

Ofc it would be good if they could get it just for the sake of having it so those people who want it can get it but unfortunately i lack inside info of why GOG has difficulties with MP support.

Ahhh, one of my faves, over 900hours racked up on it.

Wait. Why is the native Linux version missing??

Firaxis is the developer of the Windows version, Feral Interactive is behind the Mac and Linux ports. Licensing issues, same with the predecessor.

It's too bad, would buy them again here in a heartbeat if they had native support for Linux here as well.

Dammit. Me too.

It was a really well made port too.

And I also know for a fact XCOM 2 doesn't run under proton on Steam, if you force Steam Play compatibility. Tried it not too long ago, when I migrated to Linux and fiddled about with my fav games. This probably means it doesn't run under Wine.

This was not an issue, as people had the native port of course. Something that can't be said here...

Maybe the GOG DRM-Free non-steam-workshop version will be ok under Wine?

When I saw the news a few hours ago, the price for the bundle was 45 € (on my phone), I would have bought the bundle for that price, without hesitating. But 22€, man, that's a steal! Bought! :D
