PSA: Do NOT buy this game on Steam
The Steam version of this game no longer works. It will be stuck "updating executable" and never launch.
It appears to be a DRM issue not present on the GOG version so if you desperately want the game, buy it there; unless Steam arbitrarily decides they finally want to do the bare minimum quality moderation (impossible outcome).
good game but sadly literally unplayable because of the "updating executable" bug. see other reviews for details
DO NOT BUY THIS ON STEAM UNTIL THE LAUNCHER IS FIXED!!!
So 2K decided to shut down their own launcher and with that they did a update to all versions of this game on all PC storefronts. What this means is that we don't have to install the 2K launcher to play the game and we SHOULD be able to just click on the game in our library and instantly play. I say SHOULD because they completely messed up the Steam version! I believe I know why the error keeps happening where we try to launch the game and it says "Updating Executable" but doesn't launch.
Now we all know that when we launch the game there would be a Pop Up of what version we want to play, either Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within. The problem is the Launcher application is not in the files for the Steam version. For those that don't know, that is the program to tell the computer to run the game. I know this for 2 reasons.
Number 1, if you go to any game in your Steam library and go to the Local Files, there will be a file that has either the game logo, name, or for older games it will say RunMe, and if you double click on it the game will launch. That is supposed to be the Launcher application. Sometimes the file will be in a specific folder, BUT it should be there. That is, currently, not the case for Xcom on Steam. At least that is the problem I'm having. If you check and see the files on your computer and you have the Application launcher and the game still won't run then they messed with something else in the files.
Number 2, I bought the game on GOG.com and compared the files to see if there were any differences and GOG version has the Launcher application and runs perfectly fine. You can select which version of the game you want to play and I haven't had any issues. Granted, I don't know about the Epic version or MAC but I'm not wasting another dollar on this issue.
I've tried launching the Steam version with only the base game installed and it didn't work. I've tried Verifying the files and Steam says there's nothing wrong. The only way for this to be fixed is if Valve gets involved and tells 2K to fix this, but I don't know if that'll happen with the game being 12 years old.
Also I'm currently on Windows 11, but I don't think that's the problem cause I was playing this back in May 2024 and didn't have any issues until they did this update.
So until this gets fixed, if it ever does, here are our options on how to play the game:
1. Buy the game on a different storefront
2. Go play it on Xbox or Playstation
3. Try to fix it ourselves with either Mods or if you have the tech skills to mess with files and programs
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME OR ANY DLC until the 'downloading executable' is fixed. If you have the base game and it's working, DO NOT BUY THE DLC as it will brick your game.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a tactical strategy game and reboot of XCOM: UFO Defense (released in 1994). The player is tasked with leading the enigmatic XCOM organization, with the purpose of defending the world from an alien invasion. Players need to assemble a squad and advance on enemy alien positions, using cover and flanking to complete objectives and neutralize the opposition. Additionally, players also must manage their base and prioritize different facilities, research and upgrades to increase their squad's strength, equipment and abilities. Make no mistake, this is a tough game even on lower difficulties. Having several poor mission outcomes can easily derail your entire campaign. Soldiers who fall in battle are permanently gone, and I often developed strong attachments to them, especially because they can be customized in different ways. This made each and every tactical choice more weighted, due to the consequences of this. But on the other hand it also allows for a more rewarding and emotional experience. Since enemy positions and items are always procedurally generated, this game has quite a lot of replay value. Ultimately, for those who want to experience intense tactical combat, consequential decision making, and soldier and base management, XCOM: Enemy Unknown fits the bill.
Game is stuck in "Updating executable" and doesn't lunch at all. It worked fine a year ago now it doesn't.
I've had this game for a long time and enjoyed it but now, after so long, I want to play it again, but I suddenly can't! "Updating Executable". 2K screwed up the game. Now it's literally unplayable. For a game I have owned for so long, it's idiotic to now make the game unplayable.
Doesn't work anymore.
Get a "Updating executable" message in steam as i start the game and then it stops. Tried numerous things to fix it without success. Avoid at all costs until it has been fixed, or 2k even address the issue.
|---------- Edit ------------|
Unchecking the DLC allowed me to boot the base game. I think closed the game and re-ticked Enemy Within and let it download and now i can play fine. Really weird bug, they should get on fixing this asap.
|----------------------Old Review ------------------------|
Game doesnt launch.
Only solution in the forums is replace some core files with files from the GoG release of the game. This gets the game to launch and play for me, but it is very very buggy and weird. Game locks up. Game stopped having sound.
Buy the GoG version or just wait for them to (hopefully) fix whatever has gone wrong with this.
The fourth game this week I cannot play anymore because of the unwanted removal of an unwanted 2K launcher.
Click PLAY button and get a message "Updating Executable".
It's really against my standards to abuse the review system for this, but I feel I don't have choice.
Hundreds of players with the same problem and not even a quick message from a random 2K employee to tell us they are aware of the problem and fix it.
Game is broken. Don't buy. It can't start, probably because it had DRM and it was badly removed.
This is like the fifth game on steam i've tried to play with a cacophony of problems. would it kill you guys to vet this shit first? and for the love of god, have more support if you're gonna put on crappy buggy garbage....
This game was (and is) awesome and a veritable masterpiece. Unfortunately, it appears that with the demise of the 2K Launcher this game joins another handful of games that will no longer launch. Even doing a hard wipe and re-install doesn't fix the issue. For the time being stay away from this title until 2K gets it resolved.
Does not run anymore DO NOT BUY. Cannot run under windows 11. A lot of supposed fixes but they didn't work for me. will do the whole wait a few days and try again, but am not hopeful with an old game like this.
UPDATE: It's steam's fault, thje good old games version works just fine. Far faster than the steam version ever did. phuck you, steam.
Great game, but it is not working anymore, I can't get it to launch.
This game is not launching at all on Windows 11. It just gives the message "Updating Executable". From the discussion board, it seems like most other buyers have the same problem.
Do not buy the game no longer launches, for some people its occasionally for others it never launches.
I played this on PS3. It was fun, but had a lot of technical issues. I heard the PC version was better, so one of my friends bought me a copy on Steam. However, this version of the game WILL NOT LAUNCH.
I repeat: The Steam version will not launch.
So, how did I manage to play it for 77 mins? Simple, I downloaded a pirated version of the game. That version works perfectly. I then placed those files in the Steam folder, so Steam could launch it. Unfortunately, it isn't working with achievements. (Hence 0 trophies despite 77 mins of gameplay.)
In short, don't wast your money on this broken version. All you're getting is software that's literally unusable.
Currently unplayable due to an "Updating Executable" bug that prevents the game from launching. Have tried tens of different troubleshooting methods from steam discussion pages and online forums, nothing has worked. I would not recommend anyone purchase this game as there is a good chance you will never be able to even launch it. The game is great and I would love to suggest it, but currently you would be throwing money in the trash.
Very enjoyable turn based game with some nice base management and squad tactics.
So far only played EU (Enemy Unknown) and not the expansion (which is pretty much the same game but with some new added features).
Apart from some graphical glitches and a few bugs here and there, I can highly recommend.
I absolutely hate turn-based RPGs with passion, and turn-based tactics gems probably too. That said, even haters can love this environment-based-tactics game. You know, like eating spicy food when you can't take even one sliver of hotness...
The wicked-good continuation of arguably THE BEST squad-level, turn-based, tactical strategy series to ever grace the libraries of those who've ever played it. Perfectly designed game-play, excellent replayability, and a super-solid story to dive into, I find myself with literally nothing negative to mention, though that doesn't mean you won't, I would recommend you get yourself a copy, and hopefully you can get it on sale with all the DLC (They're good too, and add lots of new looks for your soldiers).
Only purchase if you aren't one of those Alien sympathizers...
You're not an Alien sympathizer, right?

The Steam version of this game is broken, it's stuck on "Updating Executable". On Windows, some people reports out there's workaround that works for them but I couldn't get it to work (possible Win10 vs Win11?). If you're on Steam Deck, you're totally out of luck. There's also reports that GoG version works just fine, so maybe you want to grab this game from there. It's possible that this issue will never get fixed by 2K since this issue has been there for a while, I wish Steam takes this game down from sales until it is fixed.
Title currently can't launch even with moderate user-side tinkering.
Likely excessive poorly configured DRM on ancient games has rendered the title unplayable. Stay away unless fixed.
A pity since this game was a masterpiece. If the company ever gets its ethical act together and lets people access what they've paid for I'll update the review.
Very good game, really bad publisher. They literally break the game and you got to do your own work to fix it. Currently if Enemy Within DLC is installed the game cannot be launched which makes no sense. XCOM is a game that defined a whole new genre. Sadly over the years no other game made "turn-based" this good. The best "X-Com like" game is the Xcom itself. Just don't buy from here though. Whoever makes this game unplayable doesn't deserve your money.
Loved the classic XCOM. Love XCOM Enemy Within, Enemy Unknown, and XCOM 2.
Got to play for 13 hours before the games just decided to stop launching. This is an Issue with several players and nothing has been done to fix it. I have fresh installed. Deleted all folders. Changed resolution. Nothing works. Thankfully I can't get a refund either. Thanks, Steam.
Game doesn't work on windows 11, and steam won't refund me.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE A WINDOWS 11 USER
Don't usually leave reviews but this game is both on sale, and wont launch with the whole "updating executable" thing happening. Its basically promoting a scam. 2k is making adjustments to their launcher in the coming days, and I'm hoping it somehow fixes it, but I doubt it will; Xcom Enemy Unknown hasen't been supported by the launcher for some time now. Until further fixes are made, DO NOT BUY. happy to change this if it gets fixed.
another broken game that steam is actively discounting when they know it doesn't work. gotta love launching an old game you have played multiple times over the few years you have owned it. just for it to not work because steam didnt do their job "updating executable" my ass. fix your shit or take it off the market you scammers. games great when it works btw.
This game is currently unplayable, the launcher gets stuck at "updating executable". Customer support can't offer a solution.
Great Game! Always try Enemy Unknown first when you are new to the game and then play a second run and all following ones with Enemy Within.
The game is very good but you can't play at the moment...
I can't recommend this to new buyers due to that...
will change review when the game is fixed...
Was a great game that I enjoyed replaying. Now, it wont run and 2K support doesn't care. I cannot in good conscious recommend a game that is broken and the creators wont keep updated for digital purchases. It's sad too because I really liked this game.
This game is not compatible with Windows 11 and should not be listed for sale by Steam any longer. The various "fixes" people have employed over the years very simply do NOT work. You'll spend hour jumping through hoops, trying different things to get the game to launch - compatibility modes, run as admin, etc ad infinitum, but nothing works. So, do yourself a favor and buy something else instead.
Trash. Will not launch. Waste of money past windows 10/11. May potentially run on linux using proton?
This was one of my favorite games when it came out. I've plugged literally over 100 hours into it and loved every minute. Truly a great game that deserved it's success.
So why am I not recommending it?
BECAUSE 2K AND THEIR STUPID MALFUNCTIONING DRM LITERALLY MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE NOW. I HAVE LOST ACCESS TO A PRODUCT I PAID FOR BECAUSE OF THEIR INCOMPETENCE.
Tactical squad gameplay and shadowy quasi govermental management? Sign me up.
one of the quintessential strategy games
Ive had this in my library for years. i redownloaded it in order to try and import characters to XCOM2. it doesnt load. ive deleted save game files, uninstalled and reinstalled etc. kind of bullshit i cant play a game i paid for.
They have broken the game, it literally doesn't launch for anyone I know, just stuck on "updating excecutable". Apparently it might be some DRM verification crap broken on 2K's servers.
Apparently if you keep launching the game over and over it will randomly start working.
This can range from a few hrs to months.
Just go buy it on GOG or pirate it, dont give a company that sells a broken product your money
Honestly this kind of DRM stuff should be illegal, I should be able to revert back to a working version of the product I paid for.
Do you own a widescreen monitor? Then DO NOT BUY. The game is and has been broken for larger monitors for years. The game will look fine, you can even play it with an xbox controller. But forget about using a mouse. The mouse borders are not fixed and you won't be able to click half the buttons in the game. Furthermore, moving soldiers is inaccurate and looks as buggy as it actually is (you have to aim three squares to the left of where you actually want to go etc).
A recent change (either by steam or 2K) has made new installs of the game unable to launch. Downvoting until the issue is fixed. Otherwise, great game.
something was changed recently and now the game wont start for a grand majority of players, supposedly it fixes itself after a few days of waiting but this is unacceptable, 2K dosent need to make any changes to this or xcom 2 unless its for a remaster.
Anyways, stay away until 2k fixes their shit.
Game is broken and will not launch. No word from the devs either lmao. Civ V is screwed as well. Thanks 2k!
Game doesn't work. Won't launch, I've done hours of troubleshooting, I only get a few hours a week to game, tired of spending it all trying to get Steam to run.
Game no longer launches correctly - Gets stuck on "Updating Executable" for a while and then quits. Persistent problem affecting many people for the past month with no fixes.
Cant launch the game for some reason says "launching updating executables" and just never launches.
One of the best Turn based RTS games of all time , enemy within was my childhood , i somehow completed this game at the age of 10 on xbox 360 lol . And after playing it many other times with Mods and DLC and playing Xcom 2 it still holds up to this day. This game is generally harder than Xcom 2 but simpler making it a great starting point on lower difficulty .
