For the first time in franchise history, Sid Meier’s Civilization is getting a dedicated VR version, exclusive to Meta Quest 3 and 3S. Featuring a fully interactive Command Table, face-to-face diplomacy, and mixed-reality gameplay, we’re about to experience Civilization like never before.
Stepping beyond the traditional strategy experience, Civilization VII VR places you right at the heart of your empire. Whether you’re overseeing your cities from above, interacting with world leaders in tense negotiations, or making game-changing decisions with an intuitive, hands-on interface, this version brings an entirely new level of immersion to the iconic series.
A New Perspective on Strategy
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII VR reimagines the classic turn-based strategy experience with a fully interactive Command Table. Instead of clicking through menus, you’ll physically manipulate the game world, zooming in to inspect cities, moving units with a gesture, and watching your empire unfold from an entirely new angle.
