Oh my, that’s quite a steal! If you are a fan of any of the XCOM games, you’ll adore this bundle. You can save over €220 on 17 items (games and DLCs). Humble Bundle decided to treat the fans and offer the XCOM Complete Bundle, we’d like to add that all of these games should run on the Steam Deck, as well.
What Is in Every XCOM Bundle and Which Games Are Compatible With the Steam Deck?
Humble Bundle gave the players an opportunity to get lots of great games (and DLCs) at a fraction of the price. As always, you can choose how much money you’re willing to pay, and there are three options. The 5-item bundle, the 9-item bundle, and the 17-item bundle. So, let’s see what you can expect from each of these.
The XCOM 5-Item Bundle
To get things going, Humble Bundle offers the 5-item bundle for just €2.63. Of course, as with any other Humble Bundle, you can decide to pay more, as part of what you pay goes to charity. This bundle includes the oldest games in the franchise, so some of them might not run well on the Steam Deck, although you should be able to launch all of them.
- X-COM: Enforcer. Steam Deck status: Playable – ProtonDB: Platinum.
- X-COM: Interceptor. Steam Deck status: Unknown – ProtonDB: Gold.
- X-COM: Apocalypse. Steam Deck status: Unsupported – ProtonDB: Gold.
- X-COM: Terror From the Deep. Steam Deck status: Unsupported – ProtonDB: Silver.
- X-COM: UFO Defense. Steam Deck status: Unsupported – ProtonDB: Gold.
The XCOM 9-Item Bundle
This bundle costs €6.15. It includes everything from the previous bundle and 4 more items (2 games and 2 DLCs). Since the added games are newer, they have been optimized for the Steam Deck. So, aside from the 5 items from the 5-item bundle, you’ll also get:
- The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. Steam Deck status: Verified.
- XCOM: Enemy Within DLC.
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Steam Deck status: Playable.
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown Slingshot Pack DLC.
The 17-Item Bundle, AKA the XCOM Complete Bundle – Best Optimized Games for the Steam Deck
Finally, the XCOM Complete bundle includes all the items from the 9-item bundle (which also includes all the items from the 5-item bundle) and 8 more games and DLCs. You can get this bundle for as little as €8.79, which is an amazing deal, given that its value is estimated to be €236.53. This XCOM Complete Bundle includes the newest games, so you won’t have any trouble running them on your Steam Deck. So, aside from the already listed games, you’ll also get:
- XCOM: Chimera Squad. Steam Deck status: Playable.
- XCOM 2. Steam Deck status: Playable.
- XCOM 2: War of the Chosen DLC.
- XCOM 2: Shen’s Last Gift DLC.
- XCOM 2: Alien Hunters DLC.
- XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Tactical Legacy Pack DLC.
- XCOM 2: Resistance Warrior Pack DLC.
- XCOM 2: Anarchy’s Children DLC.
Now, for only €8.79, you’ll probably find something you really love in this bundle! If you are looking for a fresh release, we suggest Blue Prince or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you are patient, you could also give Oblivion Remastered a go, even though the Steam Deck users need to adjust the settings and even get some mods, this game is currently at the top of the most played list. Whichever game you choose to play, have fun.
