Closing thoughts
As I understand it, this beta version predates the time when the “multiplayer servers” were turned off for XCOM 2 multiplayer. Instead, the matches now use Peer-to-peer connection, meaning players can connect directly without a middleman, making it possible to play again with minimal issues.
We regularly engage in multiplayer sessions on our Discord server. If you’re looking for an opponent, feel free to drop by; we already have over 100 game enthusiasts there. Additionally, we’ve created our own multiplayer mod that tweaks balance, introduces more units for PvP (including the Chosen), and addresses most of the bugs found in the original online matches.
That's everything we are sharing today for this XCOM 2 guide. This guide was originally created and written by Mr.Fear. In case we fail to update this guide, you can find the latest update by following this link.
