XCOM 2 Receives Patch Adding Controller Support

The folks at Firaxis have released a new PC patch for XCOM 2 that adds controller support for the title and fixes a number of bugs with the game. I can see this being a boon for those of us who might want to play the PC version of the game on TV but don't own a Steam controller, but it's probably not going to be a game-changer for the rest of the audience:

This update includes:
  • 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


Thanks, Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
