Civilization VII invites players to pursue an immersive solo experience or tackle online multiplayer gameplay. Firaxis' latest installment in the long-running franchise depicts three Ages, with the player selecting a new civilization at the onset of each new Age.

The Antiquity Age spans Ancient and Classical eras. The Exploration Age covers the Medieval and Renaissance eras. The Modern Age begins with the Industrial Revolution. Between each Age a crisis event is introduced, influencing following historical events.


During the Nintendo Direct presentation, executive producer Dennis Shirk of Firaxis introduced the Nintendo Switch 2 edition. The hybrid console port launched on June 5th, utilizing the Joy-Con controller's mouse functionality.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII VR is available for Meta Quest 3 and 3S headsets. The console edition is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles, published by 2K Games. The Windows, Mac, and Linux edition is available through Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The Original Game Soundtrack is composed by Christopher Tin, Geoff Knorr, and Roland Rizzo, streaming on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited.


Main theme "Live Gloriously" is composed by Christopher Tin. The musician commented via the description of the YouTube upload:
Civ VII's innovative three-act structure inspired me to create a new piece that was actually composed of three separate musical themes (The Iliad, Beowulf, Ramayana), with a fourth text (Popul Vuh) serving as a musical bridge. Together with the Civ VII creative team, we developed the musical concept to align with the game's core narrative concept: that history is a global story of human achievement, and that the lessons of the past can still inspire our lives in the present.
Roland Rizzo composed "Greece," "Rome," "Maya," and "Aksum" Antiquity Civ Themes, along with "Shola Indians," and "Normans" Exploration Civ Themes. Geoff Knorr composed "Egypt," "Han China," "Khmer," "Maurya India" and "Mississippians" Antiquity Civ Themes along with "Shawnee" and "Chola India" Exploration Civ Themes.
