Firaxis launched Civilization 6 nearly 10 years ago, with the historically based 4X strategy game now available to play across PC, mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It’s an experience we gave a 9.4/10 in our review upon its release, saying at the time that it was “fully loaded with features and makes some very smart changes to its winning 4X strategy formula.”
The project was the primary way for fans to enjoy the Civilization franchise all the way up to February of this year, which saw Firaxis release its long-awaited follow-up, Sid Meier’s Civilization 7. Although the 2025 iteration adds new features, updated visuals, and more tools from across history to play with, it’s still got a few scratches to buff out. We gave it a 7/10, and in May, Take-Two addressed its “Mixed” Steam reviews (which have now dropped to the “Mostly Negative” for recent reviews), promising that Firaxis’ work will result in a better game in the future.
Civilization 6, meanwhile, remains a complete experience, boasting “Very Positive” overall Steam reviews and a 4.7/5 stars from players on the Epic Games Store. If you play your PC games through the latter – or even if you don’t – there’s no reason not to pick up the Platinum Edition for free now that the deal is live.
While you wait for Civilization 6 to download, you can read up on how the first human Neuralink patient and how he used the experimental technology to stay up playing Firaxis’ 2016 video game. You can also check out its Android update trailer, which premiered just last month.
