Civilization VII Arrives in VR This Spring 2025
Civilization VII VR: A Meta Quest 3 Exclusive

Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Civ VII) will be exclusively available on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. Announced on February 8, 2025, during 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 enthusiasm on the 2K website: “We're just days away now from the full launch of Civilization VII and look forward to ushering in a new era of strategy excellence for our fans!”
Chris Pruett, Meta's Director of Games, 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 releasing on PlayStation consoles, a PSVR2 version is not currently planned.
Immersive Gameplay: Board Game Meets Virtual Reality
Civ VII VR places players at a Command Table, offering a unique perspective on the game world. Explore the map from a bird's-eye view or zoom in for detailed views of your cities and units, creating a truly immersive tabletop experience.
Enjoy the game in immersive VR or mixed reality, seamlessly switching between 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."
Single-player, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes are all supported. Up to four players can join a game using Meta Quest 3 or 3S headsets, battling AI opponents or challenging each other for global domination. Witness your friends and rivals as their chosen leaders across the Command Table in both VR and MR. Online multiplayer requires a 2K Account and a Meta Account.
Addressing Player Feedback
Firaxis Games is actively addressing player feedback from Civ VII's early access period. The official Twitter (X) account announced ongoing efforts to resolve reported issues. Early access began February 6, 2025, for Deluxe and Founder's Edition owners. Steam reviews highlighted UI concerns, impacting players' ability to access key information.
Firaxis committed to significant UI improvements, focusing on intuitive interactions, enhanced map readability, and overall polish. Future updates will also include community-requested features like multiplayer teams and additional map types. A quality-of-life update in March will address UI adjustments, AI balance, diplomacy, and bug fixes.
Civilization VII VR is slated for Spring 2025 release on Meta Quest 3 and 3S, with a precise date yet to be announced. Civilization VII launches worldwide on February 11, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
