Multiplayer games in XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) are played online over the internet or through a Local Area Network (LAN).
Multiplayer does not need to be unlocked, nor is it affected in any way by Single Player game progress or save files.
However, it is advisable to complete at least one Single Player game on Normal difficulty before attempting Multiplayer, so as to have at least fundamental game knowledge.
Multiplayer games are single battles of one vs. one (1v1) players. They are not saved, nor is there a campaign.
Each player may select a Squad of one to six Units, mixing XCOM Soldiers and Aliens, each with associated points costs according to potential battle value.
Squads may be selected before connecting to another player or in the game lobby, where you can see the number of points your opponent has selected.

If connected, there is also a Ready button on the bottom right of the screen. If you are the host, the Ready button will change to Start after both players are Ready.

- Ethereals are the only Unit too expensive for Ranked Matches; their use is thus restricted to Custom Games with 20000 Points or No Point Limit.

- Aliens can be renamed with the only option available to them: Customize.

- Mostly concerning XCOM Soldiers. Aliens are unable to have their equipment loadouts modified.
- Note: No Weapons or Items benefit from Foundry upgrades. That's Single Player only.
- Alien weapons are named after the species arming them, but are identical to the XCOM equivalents.
