Unexpected VR Version of ‘Civilization VII’ Coming to Quest 3 Soon

Exciting news for gamers and strategy enthusiasts alike! Mark your calendars for February 11th, as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is making its grand debut on both PC and consoles. But wait, there’s more! The team at Firaxis and 2K Games have announced that an innovative version of the game will also hit the Meta Quest platform this coming spring.

Exclusively crafted for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, this version promises a unique twist on the beloved series. Rather than the usual top-down view, you’ll build your civilization from an immersive first-person perspective, enjoying both virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) modes with a truly elevated view over your growing empire.

Brought to life by PlaySide Studios and published by 2K, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR aims to deliver an engaging experience with options for solo play or online multiplayer, accommodating up to three other players using Quest 3 and 3S devices. Imagine strategizing and competing with friends in real-time, all from the comfort of your own headset.

Visually, this version is set to be a spectacle. The gaming world is eagerly anticipating how this VR experience will transform the infamous game dynamics, with dramatic face-to-face interactions with iconic world leaders who will respond dynamically as you navigate alliances and declare wars.

While there’s no specific release date yet, we’re looking at a Spring 2025 launch window, as revealed by 2K during this weekend’s Civ World Summit. Until then, those keen to secure their spot in this epic adventure can add Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR to their wishlist on the Horizon Store for both Quest 3 and Quest 3S.

Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to a new era of strategy gaming!
