For right now it's been confirmed that XCOM 2 is only scheduled to arrive on PC as an exclusive. However, it might be a timed exclusive because the developers haven't completely ruled out a release on Microsoft and Sony's eighth-gen consoles. According to an interview with IGN, creative director Jack Solomon mentioned to IGN that the team at Firaxis Games aren't opposed to porting XCOM 2 to home consoles but at the moment they're just focused on the PC. Why? Because they can't afford to be stretched thin working on a multiplatform game and trying to scale the assets and features from PC to PS4 to Xbox One. Firaxis is a small team and they want to work on doing the best they can with the capabilities and power of a PC.

Vice: With the just-announced XCOM 2, developers Firaxis are asking us a different question: what if the resistance of XCOM: Enemy Unknown had failed? I don't just mean accidentally throwing handfuls of under-equipped rookies at the alien menace and going back to the main menu what if humans had failed to develop alien(-beating) technology, and had actually lost the war? What if we saw the world overrun, leading to armistice and capitulation, with the alien menace a presence on every street corner. Sounds bad, but that's the premise for XCOM 2. And it's the best news for fans of the series, because it's going to force palpable progress into the gameplay equation.
