Jake Solomon came forward about the merits of PC exclusivity for XCOM 2, and how exclusive can mean a better. It’s easy to run into foes way above your level, and injuries sustained on the battlefield, such as a mauled eye, stay with your soldiers throughout the campaign and hamper their skills. The XCOM 2 creative director stepped forward with IGN with an explanation as to why.
WHY IS XCOM 2 PC ONLY UPDATE
This update includes: Adds traditional (non-Steam Controller) controller support to the PC.
WHY IS XCOM 2 PC ONLY INSTALL
The update will automatically install when starting the Steam client if it doesn’t install automatically, please restart Steam. A new update for XCOM 2 is available now on Steam. The hex-based combat factors in things like line of sight and the sort of armor you’re wearing, and is utterly unforgiving. Fans have been requesting controller support and we’re glad to deliver.

Outside of combat you build and manage radar stations and bases to track alien activity. Fresh additions include the ability to reserve time units (action points) between combat turns as well as tactical aerial combat when you scramble your jets. The UI is cleaner, although still complicated and without a tutorial, and you can still rename your squad of soldiers, which we love, but also means it hurts more when they die. Exclusive information about XCOM 2 reveals just how procedural generation and the new premise are changing the whole XCOM experience.

Xenonauts is far closer to the original 1994 X-COM: UFO Defense than the modern XCOM games - in fact, it’s essentially a faithful indie remake, steep difficulty curve and all, with a few much-needed quality of life tweaks.
