Quick Answer: Firaxis has confirmed that Civilization 7 will be Steam Deck verified at launch. This is a pleasant surprise, considering 2016’s Civ 6 is still only listed as “playable” on Valve’s substantial Switch. I love this news as much as I am terrified to realize that Civ 7 is coming out in less than a month. I don’t need that many strategy games at the beginning of the year. But hey, at least I’ll be able to play the fresh 4X in bed, just like Sid Meier intended.
Admittedly, I don’t currently own a Steam Deck – James, ever the fickle ruler of hardware, took back the one I borrowed last year. I’ll get this guy. But I happen to often play 4X in bed. I just discovered that Amplitude’s brilliant Endless Legend game runs flawlessly on my Dell work laptop. Current activities: I’m trying to find a fresh location for my wandering beetle city that will have both strategic resources and luxury resources within walking distance of the building.
There are no giant beetles in Civ 7, but both games share a campaign structure of age-based progression. Each time your civilization enters a fresh era, you are presented with a pool of epochal options determined by your past achievements. When playing in multiplayer mode, you have the option of limiting the proceedings to one era. This sounds like a pretty significant refresh of the whole caveman-to-spaceman concept. What’s also essential: for the first time in Civ, you can choose your leader regardless of your civilization.
Civ 7 is one of the most anticipated games of 2025. “It looks very nice and has some very intriguing ideas (navigable rivers and command units), as well as Gwendoline Christie,” Ollie concluded. Premiere on February 11, more information can be found on this topic Couple.
