$12 Gets You XCOM 2 for PC and a Handful of Other Games

That's far less than the game on its own has gone for, even during sales.

12 Comments

Humble Bundle has been offering its monthly mystery bundles for over a year now, but the upcoming one might easily be the best one yet.

Humble Monthly is Humble's Loot Crate-esque subscription service where you get a mystery pack of games (redeemable on Steam) on the first Friday of the month. One of the games is always announced ahead of time, and for February, it's XCOM 2.

No Caption Provided

New subscribers can receive the game immediately by signing up now, while existing subscribers can choose to pay early to also obtain immediate access. Humble Monthly costs $12, which is substantially less than XCOM 2. Steam still sells it for for $60 and has never offered it for less than $30.

That makes the upcoming bundle a great deal regardless of what else you may get. For reference, the just-debuted January bundle came with Project Cars, Mother Russia Bleeds, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, Neon Chrome, Jotun, Hopiko, and Kimmy. As a bonus that's been added since Humble Monthly first debuted, subscribers also receive 10 percent off on the Humble Store.

Those new to the service have until February 3 to sign up to receive the bundle with XCOM 2.

All humble bundles recognise that if you don't give PC gamers (master thieves) something for next to nothing they'll just steal it on pirate bay.

@blueinheaven: Takes a "master" thief to click a button on pirate bay according to you? You make it sound like any common thief could do that. Then again, you can do that with, music, movies, pictures, books, etc. etc. I guess the entire world are thieves, including you. According to your thoughts, if someone can get something for free, they're surely a "pirate".

Oh wait, you're that shining ray of truth, justice, and getting bent over by companies that couldn't give a rat's ass if the garbage you bought works once they have your money, right? Ok, I should have known.

@datriax: Lel, edgy thief trying to justify his crimes.

Stealing is stealing. Period. Stop trying to justify it because "the corporations are evil1!!1!"

@borlng: Typical slander from a peasant. Shouldn't you be in a cave banging rocks together?

Not a deal at all if you don't like Xcom.

Looks like I'll be coming back next month. Glad I unsubscribed from January, the current games don't interest me that much.

@rot05487: Yes, you can cancel any time. The games are yours to keep forever.

XCOM 2 is worth it for that price alone. I just wish it was better optimized across all platforms. Seriously looks like a game from 7-8 years ago but still runs like shit :/
