2K and Firaxis Games announced today Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR, the franchise’s first entry into virtual and mixed reality, launching exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S in Spring 2025. Developed by PlaySide Studios and published by 2K, Civilization VII – VR empowers players to experience Civilization from a whole new perspective and take their place at the Command Table, immersing themselves in every action as they build an empire to stand the test of time. It is available to wishlist today; more information can be found here.

“Today is truly a milestone for the Civ franchise, with the announcement of Civilization VII – VR marking our first entry into the immersive world of virtual and mixed reality” stated Dennis Shirk, Executive Franchise Producer at Firaxis Games. “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!”

“With the recent release of Meta Quest 3S and our strongest games and entertainment portfolio yet, it’s an awesome time for mixed reality,” said Chris Pruett, Director of Games at Meta. “Civilization VII – VR is further evidence of that momentum: it’s a genuine Civ experience made specifically for deep strategy fans.”

In Civilization VII – 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 VII – 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 VII – VR can compete to rule the world in online multiplayer matches with up to three other Meta Quest 3 and 3S players.
