Sid Meier's Civilization VII is available now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Mac and Linux via Steam, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch! In the VOD above, you can watch our developer livestream commemorating this momentous day.

Using a community poll as our guide, we started up our celebratory campaign in the Antiquity Age choosing Machiavelli as our leader and Rome as our starting civilization. As always, it was a great opportunity to answer questions from players in real time – but we totally understand if you were too busy playing your own Civ VII campaign to tune in live!

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the entire Civ community for taking this journey with us. This is just the beginning of our years-long commitment to Civilization VII, and we're so excited to start this new chapter of Civ history with you. As we stated in our February 6 message to the Civ community, we're actively listening to all of your feedback, and work is already underway on free updates to the game including a UI rework, the addition of community-requested features, and other quality-of-life updates.

Now that the game is playable worldwide, there are plenty of Civilization VII Twitch streams to enjoy – and watching them can earn you Twitch Drops for the Exploration Age Banner cosmetic and the Cavalry Charge Banner cosmetic for your in-game Civ VII profile!* Check out the Civilization VII Twitch Drops page for full details.

In the meantime, we hope you'll join us in Civilization VII! Be sure to check out the New Settlers Hub that'll help you get started; players who are newer to strategy games can follow the Civ VII Beginners Guide, while series experts can learn a lot from the Civ VII Glossary page. Best of luck as you forge your own path through the Ages to build something you believe in!
