The Playground

To enable the ingame console: In steam library, right click on XCOM 2, select Properties, in General tab Click on Set Launch Options… and copy “-allowconsole -log -autodebug” without the quotation marks (“).

OR

If your using android version, Tap and hold upper left and right side of your screen.

Optionally, you can add ”-nostartupmovies“ to disable the intro movies when you start up the game.

This list is not complete, there are surely more codes we haven't found yet, I'll update this list as others and I discover more.

These codes DO NOT disable achievements.

GiveFacility Command
WARNING: The game seems to only let you build one of the unique buildings. If you use the console to build it in the invisible space 1 and 2, you may be screwed. Also, dropping a new facility over a Alien Debris, Machinery, etc does NOT unlock adjacent slots for excavation. Save before fiddling!

Note: Using this command while excavating a plot will not interrupt the excavation, but will also not allow you to use the Facility until the excavation is over. Using the command over a non-excavated plot will overwrite the debris. Destroying a facility after using the command will revert it to an Empty plot, and any debris that was overwritten will be lost. The Map Index starts at 3 for the top left of the build area, moving left to right, top to bottom. So the second row starts with 6, third row with 9, etc. It seems slots 1 and 2 are used by the Living Space and Commander's Quarters, or perhaps the Armory. Regardless, the Grid is as follows:

Facilities
Example: GiveFacility OfficerTrainingSchool 7 |||| This will insert the Guerilla Tactics School in the second row, second column

AdvancedWarfareCenter
Laboratory
OfficerTrainingSchool |||| Guerilla Tactics School
PowerRelay
ProvingGround
PsiChamber
ResistanceComms
ShadowChamber
UFODefense
Workshop

GiveHackReward Command
Note: Most of these are untested as there are too many to test and I simply haven't got the time nor patience. However some of these work flawlessly i.e: CentralCommand.

T0= Tier 0, doesn't affect your units
T1= Tier 1, only affects the currently selected unit.
T2= Tier 2, affects the whole squad.
(The codes that don't have any tiers don't work for some reason)

Glitchy/Weird Codes
Note: These are codes that.. do.. strange stuff.

ToggleGodMode |||| Basically the same effect as PowerUp, except it affects the AI as well. (Use this if you want to watch the AI frantically run from one cover to another forever as it can't decide where it would be safer.)
Giveabilitycharges |||| It gives 100 charges to each ability, even infinite ones like “overwatch” (except class abilities, apparently. Which renders this code useless.)
KillAllAIExceptClosestUnitToCursor |||| The killed unit becomes inactive but there's no dying animation.
KillAllAIs |||| Along with all other “kill” commands, this is glitchy, but renders enemy units inactive.

Not Working (currently)
Note: If you get any of these to work, please post the instructions so I can add them to the list.

EnableCheats |||| The console obviously recognizes this code, but what it does remains a mystery.
WhoseTurnIsItAnyway |||| Infinite moves. You must enter the code before moving any unit otherwise you have to end the turn to reset the move.
Levelupsoldier |||| It does… well.. SOMETHING during battle, but I'm not sure what. The soldier doesn't levelup, though. (console only recognizes the command during battle)
SetStrategyFacilitiesSuperSpree [on, off] – build all facilities from the start, free, insta build
SetStrategyFacilitiesUnlockAll [on, off] – allow player to build all facilities
