Cant buy Xcom 2 collection?

[Zere]

So I have bought Xcom 2 on an earlier date. I tried to now upgrade to Xcom 2 collection with spring sale 2025, but when I go to payment, it gives me an error that i already own some of the products and wont let me continue. So i found a solution to permanently remove Xcom 2 and then try to buy it. I removed Xcom 2 from my account and try to buy the collection, but same error occurred. Thankfully i was able to restore Xcom 2 still for my account. Is there a solution to this or do i have to buy everything separately with higher price?

Normally you should be able to buy a collection and it just removes the items you already own (including their cost) and you get the rest with the collection discount still. This seems like more of a Steam issue than a specific game issue if it's not letting you do that.

This issue with collections/bundles bugging out during larger sales has become increasingly more common on Steam i noticed.

Not only it did happen with Xcom collection before but few other game collections from different developers/publishers too including EA.

I also remember it was confirmed to be a Steam issue if the discointed price becomes too low depending on regional currency. The collection bugs out and gets Thanos snapped out of the store.

Arter 2-3 days it was usually resolved before the sales ended.

But yours seem to be a new issue altogether. You shouldn't need to remove your Xcom to buy the bundle.

I had Xcom EU EW before i bought. Xcom 2 collection. Cause it was cheaper than entire Xcom collection and i only missed out on Chimera Squad.

Then day later i noticed the price of entire Xcom collection adjusted where Chimera Squad in the Xcom bundle was cheaper than a pack of gums.

Steam still let me but the Ultimate collection with that price despite owning 90% of the collection already. So not sure what is up on your end.

The reason for that is pretty simple: You are mixing up the XCOM Ultimate Collection and the XCOM 2 Collection. The XCOM Ultimate collection is a bundle, meaning it adjusts its price dynamically by only charging you for stuff you do not yet own. Meanwhile the XCOM 2 Collection is no bundle, meaning you always have to pay for everything inside it. Usually there are 2 different types of those collections, either they allow you to still buy them if you already own part of it, or it won't allow it and the XCOM 2 one seems to lok like you could still buy it, but the error message makes it seem like you can't, which is simply weird.

Usually this problem could be easily solved if you would just accept that you have to pay a little more by buying the XCOM Ultimate Collection and buying a few more games than wanted, but sadly ... that bundle is actually a terrible deal since it contains the old XCOM 2 DLC's, which are no longer available individually, which is why they never get discounted and thus heavily inflate the price of the bundle. Though luckily you still get to own all of them if you bought the Reinforcement pack DLC, making the Ultimate Collection cheap again. But sadly that Reinforcement pack itelf is more expensive than the whole XCOM 2 Collection.

Hmmm... Thanks. That was not ideal but yeah i just bought the expansion and the reinforcement pack. A little bit more expensive but probably still worth it for me :)

To be fair, the music from the tactical legacy pack is also really good. Couldn't really think about playing without that music anymore.

Yea the Tactical Legacy Pack is worth it for the soundtrack alone.
I love when "Resistance" and "Warlock" fully kick in during intense moments.

And that soemwhat sad yet hopeful "Geospace" theme is pure mood.

It should be named "UFO Defense" soundtrack in the options where you select what soundtrack you want to be playing.
