Get ready for a groundbreaking experience! Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Civ VII) is making its VR debut, exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. Announced on February 8, 2025, at the Civ World Summit, this marks the franchise's first foray into virtual and mixed reality.

Dennis Shirk, Civ VII Executive Franchise Producer, shared his excitement on the 2K website: "We're just days away from the full launch of Civilization VII and look forward to ushering in a new era of strategy excellence for our fans!"

Meta's Director of Games, Chris Pruett, added: "With the recent release of Meta Quest 3S and our strongest games and entertainment portfolio yet, it’s an awesome time for mixed reality. Civilization VII - VR is further evidence of that momentum: it’s a genuine Civ experience made specifically for deep strategy fans."

Note that while Civ VII is launching on PlayStation consoles, a PSVR2 release is not currently planned.

Immersive Gameplay: A Board Game Brought to Life

Civ VII VR transports you to a command table, offering a unique perspective on your empire. Zoom out for a strategic overview or lean in for detailed views of your cities and units—it's like playing a physical board game, but in VR!

Enjoy seamless transitions between immersive VR and mixed reality modes. 2K Games describes the experience: "In virtual reality, players are transported to an ornate museum overlooking a vista personalized to their leader; in mixed reality, the Command Table adapts to its placement in a player's physical space."

Engage in single-player campaigns, team up with friends in co-op mode, or challenge others in competitive multiplayer matches for up to four players using Meta Quest 3 or 3S headsets. You can even combine human and AI opponents for a customized experience. See your friends and opponents in VR and MR as your chosen world leader. Online multiplayer requires a 2K Account and a Meta Account.

Addressing Player Feedback

Firaxis Games is actively responding to player feedback gathered during Civ VII's early access period. Their official Twitter (X) account announced ongoing efforts to address issues raised by the community. Early access began February 6, 2025, for Deluxe and Founder's Edition owners, and the game received mixed Steam reviews, with UI issues being a common concern.

Firaxis has outlined several key priorities for upcoming updates, including significant UI improvements to enhance intuitiveness and map readability. They're also planning to implement community-requested features such as team-based multiplayer, expanded map types, and more. A quality-of-life update is slated for March, focusing on UI adjustments, AI balancing, diplomacy refinements, and bug fixes.

Civilization VII VR is expected to launch sometime in Spring 2025 on Meta Quest 3 and 3S, with a specific date yet to be announced. Meanwhile, Civilization VII's full release is set for February 11, 2025, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
