Our impressions of the game
During the preparation of this guide, we did not encounter any serious errors. The game ran in steady 60 frames in 1080p with all high details included. The game froze only a few times, although after the restart the game continued from the same spot. Often automatic game saves make playing the game a lot easier.
Is a fixed internet connection required?
No, XCOM Chimera Squad can be played without a constant connection to the game servers.
