Over at the official XCOM website, the developer announced that the patch will automatically install and introduce fixes, balance tweaks and performance optimisations to the game. One notable addition that came with the patch is the Zip Mode option. This reportedly allows a faster-paced experience by way of faster animations and delays in gameplay. These also speeds up animation and normal movement in animation. To activate this, “XCOM 2” players will need to pause the game and activate the mode under the gameplay options.
For the multiplayer aspect, the patch delivers fixes for slow communications to deal with the delays in the game. There’s also a new camera rotation in MP mode. The full list of fixes and balances to weapons and gameplay can be seen in the link above.
Additionally, Firaxis Games has assured fans that there will still be additional patches in the coming months. These will be geared towards the continued improvement of “XCOM 2” in terms of performance, balance and stability.
While players are still enjoying the newest DLC for “XCOM 2,” fans of creator Julian Gollop can look forward to a new title. Rock Paper Shotgun reported that the co-creator of the original series has already teased a new title, supposedly dubbed as “Phoenix Point.”
