XCOM 2 is 10 years old, and 2K is celebrating with a free weekend and a 95% discount on Firaxis’ masterful sequel

XCOM 2 Turns 10: Celebrate with a Free Weekend and 95% Off on Steam!

Scramble the interceptors! Gather your squad! The legendary, genre-defining, and possibly unbeatable XCOM 2 is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style. Publisher 2K is giving players the ultimate gift: a free weekend on Steam, plus a jaw-dropping 95% discount for the next week. If you’ve never experienced the thrill of commanding Earth’s last line of defense against alien occupation, now’s your chance to dive in for just $3 (£1.74). And if you’re already a fan, the critically acclaimed expansion War of the Chosen is also on sale at 90% off ($4/£3.94). This is a deal that’s too good to pass up!

XCOM 2 didn’t just meet expectations—it shattered them. Firaxis took the already near-perfect XCOM: Enemy Unknown and elevated it to new heights. The game redefined turn-based tactics by flipping the script: instead of defending Earth, you’re leading a guerrilla resistance against a tyrannical alien regime. With stealth mechanics, a flying fortress base, and Sectoids wielding mind-control powers, XCOM 2 delivered heart-pounding tension and unforgettable moments. The expansion, War of the Chosen, added even more depth with new factions, sub-bosses, and three game-changing specialist classes: the stealthy Reapers, the grappling-hook-wielding Skirmishers, and the ultra-powerful Templar assassins.

But here’s the kicker: XCOM 2 is so good that it’s been 10 years, and we’re still waiting for XCOM 3. Firaxis’ last turn-based tactics game was Marvel’s Midnight Suns in 2022, and with director Jake Solomon leaving to start his own studio, the future of the franchise is uncertain. Some argue that XCOM: Chimera Squad already fills the void, offering a fresh take on the formula with its unique squad-based gameplay. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, XCOM 2 remains a must-play masterpiece.

Don’t miss this chance to experience one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Grab it now on Steam and join the fight to liberate Earth from alien tyranny. This is your moment—make it count!
