About the Game
The award-winning strategy game franchise returns with a revolutionary new chapter. Sid Meier's Civilization® VII empowers you to build the greatest empire the world has ever known!
In Civilization VII, your strategic decisions shape the unique cultural lineage of your evolving empire. Rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history and steer the course of your story by choosing a new civilization to represent your empire in each Age of human advancement.
Construct cities and architectural wonders to expand your territory, improve your civilization with technological breakthroughs, and conquer or cooperate with rival civilizations as you explore the far reaches of the unknown world. Pursue prosperity in an immersive solo experience or play with others in online multiplayer.**
Whether you choose to follow a path rooted in history or reimagine possibilities to chart your own way forward, build something you believe in and create a legacy that echoes through the Ages in Civilization VII.
BUILD AN EMPIRE THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
Lead your empire through distinct Ages of human history. Each Age is its own rich, nuanced journey, with unique playable civilizations, available resources, explorable land, and even entire gameplay systems, creating a deep, historically immersive strategy experience. Strive to accomplish significant scientific, cultural, militaristic, and economic milestones within each Age to unlock impactful advantages in the next!
EVOLVE YOUR EMPIRE AS EACH NEW AGE DAWNS
To build a legacy that truly stands the test of time, you must adapt. Forge your own path through history as you reshape your empire at the start of each Age, selecting from a pool of new Age-relevant civilization options determined by your prior gameplay accomplishments. Evolving your empire unlocks fresh gameplay bonuses and unique units, so your current civilization is always at the height of its power.
PLAY AS VISIONARY LEADERS OF PROGRESS
Embody an illustrious leader with one of Civilization's most diverse rosters yet, from traditional heads of state known for their militaristic might or political prowess, to visionary leaders who made everlasting impacts in philosophy, science, human rights, and more! Each leader possesses a unique ability and can further be improved with customizable attributes earned through gameplay, empowering you to reinforce or pivot your strategy from one Age into the next. For the first time in franchise history, you can choose your leader separately from your civilization, giving you the freedom to create all-new strategies by mixing and matching gameplay bonuses.
EXPLORE A WORLD BROUGHT TO LIFE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Make your mark on a gorgeously detailed world! Your empire comes to life with a vast, diverse range of cultural styles, represented across building architecture and unit design. Face-to-face interactions with other historic leaders immerse you in every act of diplomacy and declaration of war. As your territory expands and your cities continue to develop, lavishly rendered vistas of your empire seamlessly connect to create a vibrant metropolis.
TEST YOUR STRATEGIC METTLE IN MULTIPLAYER
Compete against other players online and prove your prowess as a great leader.** Multiplayer matches can be epic multi-Age campaigns, or take place in a single Age so you can enjoy an entire game in a single session. Cross-play is supported between PC and consoles, so you can play together with friends wherever they are.
AN ENJOYABLE STRATEGY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL
With more than 30 years of franchise legacy to draw from, Civilization VII features a vast wealth of gameplay improvements that will thrill series veterans and newcomers alike. The overhauled tutorial experience and refined gameplay systems make jumping into Civilization easier than ever, while returning players will appreciate a massive suite of gameplay improvements. Move your army as one under the leadership of a commander, unlock progression bonuses for your leaders across multiple gameplay sessions, traverse navigable rivers, and much, much more!

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
We’re deploying a hotfix that addresses an issue where AI opponents weren’t declaring war as often as expected.
Note for Switch players: This fix will be coming to Nintendo platforms alongside our 1.4.2 update in the coming weeks. Until then, Crossplay Multiplayer with users running the latest 1.4.1 Hotfix 2 release on other platforms will be unavailable. We appreciate your patience! In the meantime, Steam players can still use the console-compatible-switch beta branch to play Crossplay Multiplayer with Switch players until 1.4.2 releases. To join this branch, right-click Sid Meier's Civilization VII in your Steam library, select Properties, then click over to the Game Versions & Betas tab. From there, select the “console-compatible-switch” option.
If you’re still running into issues after this patch, please let us know through our Support portal.
We’re deploying a hotfix specifically for console and Linux/Steam Deck players. This update primarily addresses a controller responsiveness issue, while also bringing over a few fixes that were previously released for desktop players.
Addressed a reported issue where the controller could lose functionality when choosing an Enhancer Belief.
Addressed a reported issue where Affirmation Traditions failed to appear under the Heian Traditions tab during game setup.
Heian’s quote now properly appears in the Civilization Details screen during New Game creation.

We’ve just pushed a hotfix specifically for Steam Mac players to address a few high-priority issues:

We’re rolling out a small patch across all platforms today that includes stability improvements and adds support for Teen Accounts.
Note: As part of a wider 2K rollout, Civilization VII has now added support for Teen Accounts. For players who are old enough to create a full 2K Account but are under 18, certain features will be disabled by default to prioritize a safer experience. Players will have full control and can re-enable them anytime through 2K Account settings.
Here’s how to update your account preferences:
Go to portal.2k.com and log into your linked 2K Account.
Once in the 2K Portal, navigate to the game permissions section. There you can select the game(s) you wish to change your settings for.
You can learn more about this change here.
