Firaxis has exciting news for fans of the legendary strategy series, announcing the development of a virtual reality version of the recently released *Civilization 7*. Titled *Sid Meier's Civilization 7 - VR*, this marks the franchise's inaugural dive into the immersive world of VR, set to launch in spring 2025. Exclusively designed for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, this groundbreaking addition to the series is being crafted by PlaySide Studios, the talented team behind acclaimed VR titles like *The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners* and *Meta Horizon Worlds*.

Here's the official blurb:
In Civilization 7 - VR, the world of Civilization is brought to life like never before. The map takes shape atop a Command Table that lets you peer down from high above or lean all the way in to appreciate the finer details of buildings and units, like a tabletop game come to life. Players will chart a course for their people and engage face-to-face with iconic world leaders around the Command Table, each reacting as you forge alliances or declare war through the Ages.
Civilization 7 - VR is available to play in either immersive virtual reality or mixed reality, and you'll be able to freely switch between the two at any time. In virtual reality, players are transported to an ornate museum as they look out onto a vista personalized to their leader; in mixed reality, the Command Table adapts to its placement in a player's physical space. Detailed dioramas can be viewed in The Archives, a room in your museum dedicated to your gameplay achievements displayed in both virtual and mixed reality. In addition to single-player, Civilization 7 - VR can compete to rule the world in online multiplayer matches with up to three other Meta Quest 3 and 3S players.
The base version of Firaxis' latest 4X strategy sequel, *Civilization 7*, is currently accessible on PC and consoles for those who opted for advanced access. However, early adopters have taken to Steam user reviews to voice their concerns, pointing out issues such as the user interface, a lack of map variety, and a feeling that *Civilization 7* has launched without several anticipated features.
Firaxis has actively responded to this feedback, committing to improvements in the UI, the introduction of teams to multiplayer games for cooperative play, and the inclusion of a broader range of map types, among other enhancements.
In an interview with IGN ahead of the release of third quarter financial results, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the negative feedback *Civilization 7* has received from both press and players. However, he remains optimistic, insisting that the “legacy Civ audience” will warm up to the game with more playtime, and described *Civilization 7*’s early performance as “very encouraging.”
