The time has finally come: you can now pre-order XCOM: Enemy Unknown from any of our various digital retail partners. I know a lot of you have been holding out to pre-order the game from your store of choice, and now it’s possible.

Just like the physical versions, all digital pre-orders get you access to the Elite Soldier Pack, a cosmetic-only add-on to the game that allows you to customize your soldiers’ armor, add helmets to their outfits, and best of all gives you access to the iconic flat-top haircut from the 1994 classic.

Here’s a handy list of some of our retail partners for you to choose from. Get on over there and pre-order:

GameStop Impulse | Amazon | Gamefly | Steam (click here for details about a Steam-exclusive bonus)
