XCOM 2 is free to play through Sunday, and super cheap

XCOM 2 really has it all when it comes to strategy RPG games, doesn't it? There's a wide variety of missions, a tense apocalyptic story about fighting back against the invasion, boatloads of customisation options, and tough as nails tactical decision making. If you've never taken the plunge, now's your chance: XCOM 2 is free to play through this weekend, and it's deeply discounted if you decide to keep it in your library.

You can play XCOM 2 free, now through December 13, simply by heading over to the Steam page and clicking 'play game.'

XCOM 2 adds a boatload of cool new features in to the solid mix established by its predecessor, and it's just a starting point itself - there are lots of fantastic XCOM 2 mods to experiment with before you even consider dipping into its transformative DLC, War of the Chosen.
