A little later than I had hoped, but Feral Interactive have released the Alien Hunters DLC for XCOM 2 along with a patch to bring it up to the same level as Windows.
Feral did say this on reddit before the release:
So either Firaxis or 2K held it up for some reason.
The DLC adds in new weapons, new enemies, a new building for your base and more.
You can find the patch notes here. Version 1.2 is quite a big patch, and it has these Linux-specific fixes on top of the large amount of other changes for all platforms:
Good stuff Feral! Still one of my favourite releases on Linux and I look forward to getting back into it with all the latest goodies which I was holding out for recently. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Good information have to say. First for over 5 days. Previous one was the fact that F1 2015 was released. Both good news come from Feral. I have to ask - what happens with other porters? What happens with Virtual Programming? What happens with Aspyr? Do those companies still work on porting games to Linux? It is super silent about them...

Virtual Programming did mentioned on Facebook Overlord was due to come soon.
Aspyr are generally very quite until they announce something.

And it still doesn't officially support 36x.xx driver branch. Which is a shame since it's a stable one. I don't believe that GLVND hits the performance because even other Feral ports show the same performance on 35x.xx and 36x.xx, except XCOM 2.

If you are you seeing a major performance drop on specific Nvidia drivers then make sure you contact both Feral support and Nvidia. This sounds like a major regression that Nvidia will need to fix of you are seeing performance problems on your setup.

Unfortunately, I can't downgrade the driver because the other game, Natural Selection 2, which I play every day randomly crashes on anything older than 36x.xx.

Looks like that info is outdated. I've just compared 364.19 and 358.16 and performance seems to be better on the former, 30 FPS on medium settings on the base screen vs. 20-22 on the latter. Still, don't understand that warning popup about unsupported card or driver, maybe the requirements can be relaxed now?..

Aspyr and VP definitely need to step up their game if they want to stay competitive.

We're still getting some feedback that the performance hasn't returned on some newer drivers so we're keeping the warning in place for now which we investigate further.
