Unsure if this is the bundle's longer-term price or genuinely limited time, but the other bundle XCOM 2 Collection (XCOM 2 plus 4 add-ons) is $145.71, while XCOM 2 on its own is $89.95.

The Ultimate Collection bundle includes the following 11 titles:

• XCOM: Enemy Unknown
• XCOM: Enemy Within
• XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Slingshot Pack
• XCOM® 2
• XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
• XCOM 2: War of the Chosen - Tactical Legacy Pack
• XCOM 2: Resistance Warrior Pack
• XCOM 2: Anarchy's Children
• XCOM 2: Alien Hunters
• XCOM 2: Shen's Last Gift
• XCOM®: Chimera Squad

They're available elsewhere for even cheaper!

I noticed this is also available at Steam code resellers like Instant Gaming here for an even cheaper price of $19.73 AUD, but no idea about legitimacy and how well it works — happy to hear other people's experiences with it or similar Steam code resellers.

  @prettyflyforawifi you probably realised it yourself, since you unpublished your comment.

  That site scams steam's regional pricing by buying physical games in poorer countries, and reselling the steam activation codes.

  IsThereAnyDeal.com lists the vast majority of legitimate resellers. This is the best price available currently.

  Edit: XCOM EW and XCOM 2 are great games, would recommend to any fan of turn-based squad combat.

    If they can buy a physical game in another country then sell it cheaper online with just the code wouldn't it be either steam or the game company scamming the buyer ?

    Most people don't care where they buy the game from as long as the key works and they aren't gonna get the credit cards hacked or something same for any product really games aren't any different you got companies making shoes for $10 in sweat shops selling them for $300 in AU and prob $30 in poor countries why wouldn't someone try to buy them for $30 ?

      As a service for helping you manage pricing across 35+ different currencies, Steam offers a recommendation for how to translate your base USD price into region appropriate levels. We base these recommendations on currency conversions, regional purchasing power, required taxes, and our own experience selling in particular regions. Purchasing power can vary significantly from country to country, and the price for goods and entertainment is affected by many factors. As a result, Valve's recommended pricing does not represent exact foreign exchange rates. We update these guidelines periodically, as foreign exchange rates or other market factors warrant.

      Steam's regional pricing allows people from regions with lower wages than the western world to enjoy video games. To take advantage of this pricing in order to re-sell keys and make a profit is in my opinion unethical.

      as long as the key works

      The only review on that site's copy of XCOM stated that their key did not work, as it was flagged as being from a different region.

        How do you know people buying it for cheap here aren't also struggling on low wages or high costs of living ? same thing no different especially with the example of other products nobody seems to care about e.g shoes

        As for the second part i didn't see the site as its unpublished and there is 100% dodgy sites out there you should probably be careful of my comment was more directed at the people who say you shouldn't buy from places that sell cd keys and have sometimes significantly cheaper prices with the arguement they use stolen credit cards or your not supporting the game companies buying it so cheap which is dumb in my opinion

  Lowest it's been is around the $16 mark, and was under $19 earlier this month. Might be worth waiting for a bigger discount if you're not in a rush to play it

    lemme guess — you paid for each one of the titles as they came out 😜

    (yes, as an aspiring ozbargainer, that would make me pretty upset, too.)

      I was talking more about how frustrating the game play can be

        Member 0230 on 23/06/2022 - 19:40

        Oh right! I've only ever played Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within, and only in Normal and Classic difficulty — Ironman Mode OFF.

        Which ones (and difficulty) got you pulling your hair?

          @Member 0230: I think I spent a lot of time finishing both unknown and within a couple of times, which gave me a combined sense of achievement and frustration.

          Then, xcom 2 arrived and shattered my turn based strategy, and despite multiple attempts, it sits in my steam collection, undefeated, and also deleted from my hard drive so I can't tempt fate again 🤪

  In case anyone cared, the price has gone down another $10 AUD — now $29.97 AUD (91% off).
