XCOM: Chimera Squadlaunched last year in April exclusively for the PC. The turn-based tactical strategy game is a sequel to theextremely well-receivedXCOM 2: War of The Chosen, which launched on consoles, as well.XCOM: Chimera Squadcurrently resides on the PC alone, but that may soon change.
XCOM: Chimera Squadwas announced and releasedin less than two weeks; a very interesting marketing strategy from developer Firaxis Games and publisher 2K Games. TheXCOMseries is very much beloved by many, however, there are those who would enjoy being able to playXCOM: Chimera Squadon consoles if it were to release beyond the PC.

According to a rating board listing on Pan European Game Information (PEGI),XCOM: Chimera Squadhas been reviewed recently for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This would be extremely exciting news for fans of the franchise who have been unable to play the game because it has been stuck on PC since April of 2020. The Nintendo Switch rating is interesting, asXCOM 2came to Switch in 2020, three years after the release of the other versions of the game.
Along with the games being reviewed by PEGI, a release date was listed for July 14, 2025, which of course, already passed. The fact that an incorrect date is listed here does give a reason to pause with the validity of the information, but it is more likely that a placeholder date was entered than entirely wrong gaming consoles were added to the site. With that in mind, it would be wise to brush up on someXCOM: Chimera Squadtipsbefore the game comes to consoles if that indeed does happen.
On a bit of a sour note, the PEGI listing does not mention next-generation consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While it is likely that players would be able to playXCOM: Chimera Squadvia backward compatibility with these consoles, it is a shame that the title does not yet seem to support true next-gen.
Another interesting thing to note about theXCOM: Chimera Squadreview is that a mobile review is not on the list.XCOM 2made its way to mobileas well, so one would assume that the series would continue to plant its flag on iOS and or Android. But as far as this PEGI information is concerned, that does not seem to be the case.
It is important to note that this information is not confirmed. As far as leaks or rumors are concerned, a rating board finding may be more concrete than other types of leaks, however, nothing is confirmed until it is official. So the idea ofXCOM: Chimera Squadcoming to consoles should not be considered factual until Firaxis Games or 2K Games releases a trailer, tweet, press release, etc.
XCOM: Chimera Squadis on PC and may be coming to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.
