To change the difficulty in XCOM 2, go to the main menu, select 'Options,' then 'Gameplay,' and adjust the difficulty setting there. It's that simple!
Pause the game, go to 'Options,' and then switch to the 'Gameplay' tab. Change your difficulty from 'Rookie' all the way up to 'Legendary!'
Just start a new campaign if you really wanna feel the pain of Legendary mode from the beginning!
In my experience, you just need to pause, go to 'Options,' and switch difficulty in 'Gameplay.' Just did it last night!
