Forge your legacy in Civilization VI, Firaxis Games’ 2016 turn-based strategy titan that marched onto PC on October 21, 2016, before expanding to PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and mobile by 2020. This isn’t just a game—it’s a globe-spanning power trip where you lead a civilization from stone-age huts to space-age supremacy. Pick a leader—Gandhi, Cleopatra, Teddy Roosevelt—and outwit, outbuild, and outfight your rivals. With over 12 million copies sold and a thriving mod scene, Civ VI is the king of “one more turn” addiction!
Stack cities with districts—campuses for science, theaters for culture—sprawling across a hex-grid map where terrain and wonders like the Pyramids shape your strategy. Research techs from Archery to Nuclear Fission, train armies from spearmen to mechs, and chase victory—domination, science, culture, religion, or diplomacy. Every leader’s got a twist: Montezuma thrives on war, Catherine spies with flair. Diplomacy’s deep—trade, ally, or betray—while barbarians and AI foes keep you sharp. Expansions Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm add disasters, loyalty, and climate chaos, making every era a gamble.
The vibe? A cartoonish history book meets ruthless ambition—think vibrant maps, Sean Bean narrating tech quotes, and a Grammy-nominated OST by Geoff Knorr. Visuals pop with a painterly style, and updates like the New Frontier Pass pile on leaders (hello, Kublai Khan!) and modes. Multiplayer’s a blast—team up or backstab in marathon sessions. Critics (88 on Metacritic) and fans can’t quit—available everywhere, Civilization VI dares you to rule. Start with a settler and make history!
