The cogs are rolling, and XCOM 2 is extremely close to release. So close in fact that we finally have the XCOM 2 system requirements for Linux players. This is confirmed by 2K directly, but Feral have yet to confirm it directly.
Correction: 2K had it wrong, here's the requirements directly from Feral Interactive.
Sadly, it's another major release on Linux that only supports Nvidia. It might work on AMD & Intel, but you're on your own for now. Probably the usual case of open source drivers have bugs/incomplete OpenGL support, and AMD Catalyst probably has the usual known performance problems.
RECOMMENDED
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit or Steam OS
Processor: Intel i7 series
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: 2GB NVIDIA 960
MINIMUM
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 64-bit or Steam OS
Processor: Intel i3-3225 3.3 GHz
RAM: 4GB
Graphics: 1GB NVIDIA 650
The minimum is pretty low, so it looks like it might scale reasonably well across the lower-end. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'm getting close to minimum with my GTX660 these days.
Time to upgrade, but I wanted to wait for this year's new chip generation.

Same here with my factory-overclocked GTX660 (should be on par with a GTX660ti). In my case though, I should probably upgrade everything since I have an i3-2120 3,30GHz CPU and 8GB RAM. Won't be any time soon though, as I'm still able to play the latest Linux games with OK performance at medium-high; Alien Isolation runs absolutely great at high, Shadow of Mordor runs fine on medium, but Cities Skylines is an absolute memory-hog and quickly fills the 8GB, even without mods.
I just hope I can play X-Com 2 when I eventually pick it up.

Quoting: subAs AMD user I'll most likely have to play it under Windows.
You'll can buy it on the Feral store, then play it under windows :p

It's rather cute they recommend just an i3. Seems like a decently optimized game.
I have "just" a GTX760 but 960 barely beats in benchmarks so I think I am good.

Phew - my trusty old gtx680 is still valid.
I'll not purchase a new graphics card until I know what the requirements of the Valve VR set will be.

I have a Nvidia Gtx 970M.
Do you think that I can use the ultra settings ?

Bought it and it´s nice to see I can handle the recommended level. (close to dead-on)
Still, I´m a little bit annoyed that XCOM2 only shows up in the windows steam-library but not in the linux library yet. Oh well, I bought "Firewatch" as well today and that title is at least listed & ready for pre-load/download. (when available)
