In response to the upcoming sequel, Steam launched an XCOM: Enemy Unknown sale, slashing prices on the original game, its expansion, and a couple extras by as much as 75%. These are all for PC and Mac only, of course. Popularity of the entire bundle, priced enticingly low at $12.49, would predispose new players to XCOM’s desktop format by the time the sequel rolls around, while simultaneously encouraging console veterans to return to the battlefield and adapt to saving humanity with a mouse and keyboard.
Could this mean XCOM 2 is planning on staying desktop-exclusive, rather than releasing future console ports? And if 2K decides to continue the fight against alien invaders in subsequent installments, will they stray from the PC? Tell us any of your predictions, hopes, or fears for the future of XCOM.
