But here’s the exciting twist: Firaxis, the developer, alongside 2K Games as the publisher, has revealed that this beloved strategy game is also branching out to the Quest platform in the spring.
What’s special about this? Well, this version is crafted specifically for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, presenting a completely unique experience. Imagine the thrill of building your civilization from a first-person view, all while towering over the in-game map in virtual and mixed reality modes.
Behind the VR magic is PlaySide Studios, collaborating with 2K to bring Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR to life. This version promises not only an immersive solo experience but also the excitement of online multiplayer. You can strategize and compete with up to three other players who are also using Quest 3 and 3S devices.
