Unexpected VR Adaptation of ‘Civilization VII’ Coming Soon to Quest 3

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is all set to make its grand entrance on PC and consoles this coming February 11th. But that’s not all—Firaxis, the game’s developer, and 2K Games, its publisher, have some exciting news for VR enthusiasts. They’re bringing a version tailored specifically for the Quest platform this spring.

This Quest-exclusive edition is no ordinary port. It’s a unique adaptation crafted exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, offering players the thrill of building their empires from a first-person viewpoint. Imagine towering over the game map while experiencing the game in both Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) modes. It’s going to be a whole new way to play Civilization.

PlaySide Studios is at the helm of development, while 2K takes on publishing duties for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR. The game is looking to blend familiar elements with groundbreaking VR experiences, providing players the option to enjoy both solo play and online multiplayer matches—with up to three others joining you on Quest 3 and 3S.

A standout feature of this version is the dynamic interaction with the game’s iconic world leaders. These historical figures will come to life in a way never seen before, reacting directly to your diplomatic decisions—whether you’re extending the olive branch of peace or rattling sabers in war.

While the specific release date remains under wraps, 2K has confirmed a spring 2025 launch window. This announcement was made at the Civ World Summit event over the weekend. If you’re eager to dive into this immersive experience, you can already add Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR to your wishlist on the Horizon Store for your Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
