As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but feel excited about diving into a fully immersive world with Sid Meier’s Civilization VII VR. Instead of gathering around a physical board, we’ll now be able to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate as eight players in this digital strategy game set on an expansive map. It’s like having the in-game command table right at home, thanks to Firaxis Games and 2K’s innovation. And for Meta Quest users, this is just another step into making the virtual reality experience even more captivating.
At the Civil World Summit, it was first revealed that the virtual reality version of “Civilization VII,” titled “Civilization VII VR,” will be exclusive to Meta Quest 3 and 3S when it’s released in Spring 2025. Although an exact launch date hasn’t been set yet, eager VR gamers can add this game to their wishlist on Meta’s digital storefront now. This exclusive version of the recently launched strategy game is being developed by PlaySide Studios, a Melbourne-based developer and publisher who have previously worked on projects like “Mouse: P.I. For Hire” and “The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners.
In the short sneak peek, it’s clear that Civilization VII VR offers an innovative feature: transporting the game board right into your physical home environment. This is achieved by integrating mixed reality elements and introducing a tailor-made interface for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S devices. Moreover, historical figures such as Egypt’s Hatshepsut or the Philippines’ Jose Rizal, whom players select as leaders, can materialize in front of them when specific actions are taken within the game.
For the very first time in its history, the acclaimed strategy game series ‘Civilization’ is being introduced to virtual and mixed reality realms. Dive into a fresh chapter with Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR. Step up to the Command Table and delve deep as you construct an empire designed to endure through time.
As I embark on this grand adventure, I’ll map out my journey, interact with fellow leaders, delve into groundbreaking technologies, and choose between confrontation or alliance with rival cultures as I traverse the uncharted territories of this vast, mysterious world.
In contrast to the latest editions of Civilization VII on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, the VR version has certain differences in its multiplayer aspect. While up to eight players can engage in an online match simultaneously with the former versions, only four Meta Quest 3 and 3S users can play together in this VR adaptation. Furthermore, it is mandatory to possess both a 2K and Meta account for accessing and playing the game online.
On February 11th, Civilization VII will be available for play on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. However, those who purchased the Founders or Deluxe Edition have been playing since February 6th. Upon its early release, it garnered generally positive reviews. On Metacritic, a review aggregation site, it boasts an average score of 81 based on 78 critic reviews. While these reviews aren’t negative, Firaxis Games has received feedback from early access players and is compiling a list of the most frequently requested fixes from the community.
