Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Launches With Four-Player Co-op and a Day-One Patch

Cold Iron Studios launched Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 on August 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic at $49.99, a third-person co-op shooter that bumps squads from three players to four. A launch-window patch dated August 24 followed fast, fixing perks like Vigor, Blood Lust, and Shock Treatment plus companion bot behavior. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is in development for later this year.
