Civilization VII to Launch on Apple Arcade

The iconic strategy game, Civilization VII, is scheduled for release on various Apple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac, beginning February 5th.

Through a subscription model priced at $6.99 per month, players can enjoy the game’s strategic empire-building gameplay by taking on the role of historical leaders to expand their empires.

New Features and Limitations

In its Apple Arcade iteration, the game introduces touch interfaces alongside functionality for both mouse and gaming controllers supported on both macOS and iOS platforms.

However, it's important to note that at its launch, Civilization VII on Apple Arcade will not feature multiplayer support. Additionally, players will not have access to downloadable content commonly available on other platforms, introducing a distinction between this version and its PC counterparts.

Device Requirements

Only devices with memory exceeding 8GB will have the capability to support larger and extensive maps, limiting some gameplay options based on hardware specifications.

February 5th Upgrades to Apple Arcade Library

In addition to welcoming Civilization VII, Apple Arcade is expanding its collection to include a suite of classic games compatible with Apple Vision Pro, iPhone, and iPad. This expansion also features a rhythm-based game and a new puzzle game debuting on the same date.
