Overview
- Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 launched on Tuesday for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store with a $50 base price and a premium edition offered at higher cost.
- Early Steam user reviews trended to a “mostly negative” rating as players reported rough gameplay, floaty animations, visual glitches and even missing character models.
- Daybreak and Cold Iron confirmed a native Nintendo Switch 2 release date of September 29 and said that version will be sold on the Nintendo eShop.
- Publishers also reiterated a discounted program for people who owned the original Switch cloud-only edition that was shut down in early August, though exact voucher mechanics and eligibility details remain pending.
- The game expands the series to four-player co-op with deeper squad mechanics, a fully customizable Specialist class, smarter xenomorph AI and new Horde maps, and the next major developments to watch are post-launch patches and how the compensation plan is implemented.
