Great news for players who want to tackle XCOM 2, but don't have the PC specs to do so: the game will arrive on consoles this fall.
Firaxis Games partnered with The Workshop to create PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the turn-based tactics game.
"The incredible reception of XCOM 2 has been rewarding and humbling for the team, and we've known console fans have been clamoring to play the game too," creative director Jake Solomon said to Eurogamer. "As avid console players ourselves, we're excited to work with The Workshop to bring XCOM 2 to all of our fans."
Previously, Firaxis noted that console versions of the game weren't a priority, but this new partnership changes that. Previously, the company focused solely on supporting mods for the game.
XCOM 2 takes place 20 years after the previous game, Enemy Unknown. Now, though, the war against an alien invasion is all but over and the organization known as XCOM now focuses its efforts on becoming a resistance to the occupation.
Players take on the role of an XCOM commander who is responsible for giving commands to squad members going up against aliens during their missions. The commander is also in charge of helping the organization's research department create new weapons and technologies that can help tackle the alien threat. Meanwhile, the commander must also continue to recruit additional soldiers, who all come with their own skillsets and abilities.
Players who preorder the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game will also get the Resistance Warrior Pack, which offers extra customization for soldiers, as well as a new recruit. A deluxe digital edition is also available, which includes three additional packs with extra content, new weapons and armor and a new soldier class.
"Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity," the official XCOM 2 website reads. "Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance and eliminate the alien threat once and for all."
XCOM 2 launches on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Sept. 6.
