Firaxis Games released a patch which finally brings controller support to the PC version of XCOM 2, including a few bug fixes and a camera update.
The continuation to the highly acclaimed series revival has put gamers into a canon plotline with humanity on the edge of defeat, and after going through several playthroughs from start to finish it’s been called the poster boy of the modern turn-based strategy game. The highly polished game turned out being one of the Top Ten Games of 2016 on various gaming website, and even though strategy games aren’t always remembered for their ability to work well with controllers instead of keyboards, it’s a good move from Firaxis Games that gave gamers the option to use this if they want to.
Thanks to some camera adjustments included in the patch, gamers will also have the ability to use their controllers to fully explore The Avenger for the first time ever. Those who own a PC copy of the game and have a connected controller can give themselves a first person camera fly-by to check in on their soldiers around the ship, as seen in the video below.
PC gamers can also enjoy over 2,000 different modifications for the game, thanks to the Steam Workshop, which range from puppy guns to the ability to recruit bona fide stormtroopers into XCOM. As opposed to Bethesda’s inclusion of modifications on the console editions of Skyrim: Special Edition and Fallout 4, XCOM 2 players won’t have access to any of these modifications unless they play from PC.
Apart from the post-launch DLC which includes the Enemy Within-inspired Shen’s Last Gift and various of cosmetic additions, it’s not the first time for Firaxis to release a patch that squashes bugs of the non-alien variety. It’s good to know that besides the release of Civilization 6, Firaxis Games hasn’t forgot about one of its other hit strategy titles.
XCOM 2 is currently available for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
