Sometimes XCOM 2 thinks it's smarter than you are! Check your display settings in Windows and make sure your primary monitor is set correctly before launching the game.

I had the same issue! I fixed it by editing the config file. Go to XCOM2's GameUserSettings.ini file and set the 'PreferredMonitor' to the right display.

Switching XCOM 2 to windowed mode and then dragging it to the correct monitor can do the trick. After that, go back to full screen.

Honestly, it's probably just a glitch. Reinstalling the game worked for me. Give it a try, might save you some headache!
