About Sid Meier’s Civilization VI

You lead a civilization against rival leaders, each with their own agenda based on their historical traits. There are five different ways to win, so a game can be settled by military, culture or other means.

Cities no longer sit on a single tile. Districts, wonders and improvements each take a hex of their own, so you decide how a city spreads across the map. The options range from a Commercial Hub to a Spaceport.

Progress is driven by what you do. Exploring and improving the land with your units speeds up research, and the Civics tree brings in new governments and cultural policies. Diplomacy changes as eras pass, ending in alliances and negotiations, and influence can win over nearby city-states. Spies can collect intel and steal resources from rivals.

Multiplayer covers online PvP, LAN play and shared-screen play, and Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer too.
