PC PERFORMANCE BRIEF
CIVILIZATION VI SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Civilization VI is a turn-based 4X strategy game about building an empire one district, wonder, war, and scientific breakthrough at a time. It starts as a simple map and slowly becomes a web of decisions that can consume entire evenings.
Civilization VI is the kind of strategy game that can feel straightforward for a few turns and then quietly swallow an evening. Expanding a nation, balancing science and culture, and reacting to rivals creates a loop where each decision seems small until the long-term consequences finally reveal themselves.
