Civilization 7 Release Guide: Editions, PC Specs, Dates and more

2K Games

It's been 33 years since we were first graced with Sid Meier's Civilization, and all these years later the eve of a new Civ game is a monumental event. Sid Meier's Civilization 7 is making some massive changes to the formula, however, which could turn the entire series on its head. No longer are you bound to a civilization and a leader, you can mix and match this time around, so if you wish to have Harriet Tubman lead Greece to victory, it's possible.

Like most modern releases, Civilization 7 has a number of versions, each of which comes with its own bonuses, dlc, and even release date. So we're breaking down everything you need to know about Civilization 7.

Civilization 7 Release Date

The Civilization 7 release date is set for February 11, 2025, on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One,
PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

However, 2K is the latest publisher to continue the trend of hiding the actual release date of the game behind a more expensive version. So, for players who purchase the Deluxe Edition or Founders Edition, the Civilization 7 release date is February 6, 2025, on PC, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
