  1. Which devices are supported for XCOM 2 Collection?

    The XCOM 2 Collection requires Android 9 or later. You will need 8.5GB of free space to install the game and all of its content, and we recommend having at least 17GB of free space to avoid installation issues.


    If your device is not referenced above but you are still able to purchase XCOM 2 Collection, your device should be capable of running the game but is not officially supported.

    To avoid disappointment, devices that are not capable of running XCOM 2 Collection are automatically blocked from purchasing it.

    For best performance it is recommended that you restart your device after first installation, and keep other applications closed when playing.
