2K Games has released a new update to XCOM 2 for the PC. They also revealed all of the patch notes so that you can see all of the changes that have been made.

2K Games posted all of the details of the new XCOM 2 update over on their official blog page. The patch includes: “new fixes, balance tweaks, and several performance optimizations in the game that should improve framerates and in-game delays overall. Players can also opt into the new “Zip Mode” option by pausing the game at any time and activating it under gameplay options. Zip Mode will create a faster paced experience that speeds up animations and some delays in gameplay.”

Here’s a note if you are using mods:If you have mods enabled after installing the patch, launch it once, close the game, and launch it again. Players will only have to do this once. After the restart, the game will have initialized the patch to work with mods. While the majority of mods will operate in harmony with the patch, some mods may conflict with patch updates and will need to be updated to take advantage of the patch improvements.”
