The seventh installment of Sid Meier’s Civilization series, titled “Sid Meier’s Civilization VII,” is set to release today across all platforms. However, it has encountered some criticism during its early access period, particularly regarding its user interface and map generation. In an effort to address these concerns before the global launch, developer Firaxis Games has already rolled out patch 1.0.1 for PC users. This initial patch marks the beginning of a series of updates that will be based on player feedback.
Remarkable bug corrections addressed issues such as Epic and Marathon Age games ending sooner than anticipated, along with persistent troubles in naval battle scenarios. If you’ve encountered your naval units employing incorrect Combat Strength Values or failing to relocate to attacked tiles following the elimination of adversaries, these problems should now be resolved.
Currently, cross-platform play between PC and consoles has been temporarily halted. Firaxis Games are focusing on speeding up updates for the PC version, which may cause some inconvenience but won’t affect matchmaking within either the PC or console community separately. However, this is another complicating factor in the rocky launch of their 4X strategy title.
Take a look at the detailed updates provided beneath. The game titled “Civilization VII” is now accessible on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch, as of today. For further information about its post-release plan, click here.

Patch Notes
Gameplay
Windows PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck

- Fixed inconsistencies with Naval Combat.

- Naval Units will properly take reciprocal damage after attacking another Naval Unit.
- Naval Units will more consistently move into the attacked tile after defeating another Naval Unit.
- Completing the final milestone of a Legacy Path no longer adds Age Progress in the Modern Age to ensure you have more time to complete a Victory.

- Made improvements to the Loyalty Crisis in the Antiquity Age, including giving the ability to purchase Villas in towns during this crisis, giving another way to manage the happiness of your settlements.
Regarding multiplayer for cross-play: To speed up improvements to the PC version, we may release updates for PC more frequently than consoles. Today’s update, Patch 1.0.1, is one such example. This means temporarily disabling cross-play between PC and console players. However, this won’t affect console users playing with other console users, or PC players engaging in multiplayer only matches.
