About Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI

Sid Meier's Civilization VI reimagines how you engage with your world by letting cities physically expand across the map for the first time in this way. Active research in technology and culture unlocks fresh potential, while competing leaders pursue their own agendas rooted in their historical traits. The result is a race toward one of five distinct paths to victory, each demanding its own approach.

Empires here sprawl visibly. Every district, wonder, and improvement is built on its own hex, so you can customize a city to your heart's content, and each district, from the Commercial Hub to the Spaceport, delivers unique and powerful bonuses. Choosing which districts to build, positioning yourself strategically for allies, and outbuilding your opponents all feed into becoming the best civilization. Active research adds another layer: you accelerate progress by using units to explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures, and research reaches beyond science into the Civics tree, unlocking powerful governments and cultural policies that let you cultivate a civilization matching your playstyle.

Diplomacy stays dynamic throughout, evolving from primitive, conflict-prone first contacts into more nuanced relationships as the game advances. As a turn-based strategy game on PC, Civilization VI rewards players who want to shape a living empire and switch up their tactics every time they play.
