XCOM 2 Is Free To Play And 75% Off On Steam This Weekend

<p>No matter how long and tiresome your week is, there's at least one thing you can look forward to by the time you make it to Friday: Steam's free-to-play weekend games will be live. This weekend, only one title is available as a free-to-play exclusive, but it's a big one: <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/xcom-2/">XCOM 2</a>, a turn-based strategy game where you command a resistance group of soldiers fighting back against aliens who have captured and now dominate Earth.</p><p>From now until Sunday, March 24 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 8 PM GMT (or March 25 at 7 AM AET), you can play XCOM 2 completely for free on Steam--and if you love the game, be sure to grab it at its current steep discount of $15 / £11.37 / AU $21.16 (normally $60). It'll be on sale until Monday, March 25 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT (or March 26 at 4 AM AET). The XCOM 2 Collection, its Digital Deluxe edition, and various DLC are marked down as well.</p><p>XCOM 2 takes places two decades after <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/xcom-enemy-unknown/">XCOM: Enemy Unknown</a>, the series' 2012 reboot. You play as the commander of XCOM, a military organization working to sabotage and bring down the alien regime that now occupies Earth. Stealth and strategy play an even bigger role in this sequel, which allows for sneaking around enemies and planning thrilling ambushes. The game earned a 9/10 in GameSpot's <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/xcom-2-review/1900-6416347/">XCOM 2 review</a> for its nuanced strategy, compelling characters, and the critical decisions you're forced to make.</p><p>"Time keeps ticking in XCOM 2, and the best we can do is make the right choices when we have the chance," wrote GameSpot's Mike Mahardy. "XCOM 2 imparts the weight of those decisions, and that's what makes it extraordinary. It's mathematical, emotional, and thoughtful all at once. It's exhilarating, even in the face of failure. It's compelling, even though we often lose. Victory is the goal, but that's just an afterthought here--it's the complex journey that counts."</p><h3><strong><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/XCOM_2/">Play XCOM 2 for free on Steam »</a></strong></h3>
