XCOM 2’s Latest Update Adds Controller Support for PC

XCOM 2 just got a new update, and boy is it a doozy!

The new patch adds official controller support for XCOM 2 on the PC, allowing you to game on an Xbox One, Xbox 360 or PS4 controller—the latter of which was just added as a part of Steam’s move to support Sony hardware.

The other cool new feature being added with the update is the ability to tour the Avenger in first-person mode. Using the gamepad, you can walk through the entire detailed environment of your headquarters. To do that, follow the instructions on the official blog.

Here’s what the patch does, in full:

  • Adds traditional (non-Steam Controller) controller support to the PC
  • Fix config/upk file issues that prevent full conversion mods from being possible on the Steam Workshop and also allow mods to have Bink files
  • In Alien Hunters, the “Ruler Reaction” notification will stay on the screen after a unit fires at the Archon King while he is using Icarus Drop during combat
  • SPARKS cannot be healed by Medikits
  • Additional minor bug fixes
