While Zip Mode is enabled animation (like step outs & gremlin movements) speeds are significantly increased. The multiplayer mode has also received some love as you can now rotate the camera in the mode and slow communications with online players have been fixed. In addition to these changes, Firaxis have added a new recommended Steam Controller configuration that supports additional actions, offers support for nVidia SLI and AMD Crossfire, and optimized the shadows in the Avenger. XCOM 2 will also have an option to automatically detect your graphic settings, although you’ll need to manually activate it within the graphics tab. Some of the most notable improvements include the new “Zip Mode”, which will create a faster-paced experience that will speed up animations and some delays in gameplay.
Article taken from .2K and Firaxis Games have released the first major patch for XCOM 2, which includes new fixes, balance tweaks, and several performance optimizations that are expected to improve frame rates and overall in-game delays. That same issue can happen to any game across any platform, nothing is forever - unless developers and publishers offer up server files to players like the good old days.

If you run Linux, or the Steam Deck, you will still be able to play it online as it also mentions how "this won’t affect XCOM 2 on console platforms, or on Mac and Linux". Planned for March 28, it's a shame but there's an interesting silver lining here.
Why? Resources (money): "The decision to retire these services isn’t something done lightly, but it does allow us to refocus our resources". In the support article, it notes "As a heads up to the XCOM 2 community, we wanted to share that we will be retiring services for Multiplayer and Challenge Mode for the Steam version of the game". XCOM 2 developer Firaxis Games has announced that the multiplayer modes are going to be shut down, if you're using the Windows version that is.
