The PlayStation Store is currently offering a highly-rated PlayStation 4 game for next to nothing in the form of the acclaimed strategy game XCOM 2, available until February 2 for a mere $2.99. The PlayStation Store regularly offers discounts on games, but it's rare for the platform to offer such a dramatic discount, especially with a game as highly-regarded as Firaxis' XCOM 2.
XCOM 2 first launched in February 2016 for PC, but it made its way to Sony's PlayStation 4 console and other platforms later that same year. A direct sequel to the popular XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 earned even stronger reviews from critics, with praise for the various improvements it introduced over its predecessor. XCOM 2 has an 87 overall critic rating, making it one of the higher-rated titles available to play on PS4.
Anyone interested in XCOM 2 can get the game for just $2.99 instead of the usual $59.99 asking price if they purchase it through the PlayStation Store by February 2. And while XCOM 2 is a PS4 game, it's worth pointing out that it's also playable on PS5. In the meantime, the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition is also available at a steep discount for those interested, with the price slashed by 90% to $7.49 from $74.99. The XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition includes the digital version of the game's soundtrack and the Reinforcement Pack, which comes with the Anarchy's Children, Alien Hunters, and Shen's Last Gift DLC.
It goes without saying that this is an incredible deal, especially for anyone that has yet to play XCOM 2 for themselves. But before PlayStation gamers jump on the opportunity to add XCOM 2 to their digital libraries, they may want to check and see if they are signed up for PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium. Anyone signed up for the Extra or Premium tiers of Sony's PlayStation Plus service can access XCOM 2 right now at no additional charge.
Then again, even those who are signed up for PS Plus Extra or Premium may still want to jump on this massive XCOM 2 discount while they have the chance. Games leave PS Plus Extra occasionally, and it's entirely possible that XCOM 2 will be removed from the service at some point down the line. Some PS Plus Extra subscribers may not get around to playing XCOM 2 while it's on the service, and so it would make sense for them to buy the game at this heavily discounted rate while they still can.
XCOM 2 is available now for mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
