Civilization VII is set to debut a highly anticipated virtual reality (VR) port exclusive to the latest Meta headsets. This exciting announcement came over the weekend, revealing that gamers can expect to experience the all-new installment on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S in Spring 2025. One of the most thrilling features is the ability for players to “freely switch” between virtual reality and mixed reality environments, enhancing gameplay flexibility. According to the press release:
In virtual reality, players are transported to an ornate museum as they look out onto a vista personalized to their leader; in mixed reality, the Command Table adapts to its placement in a player’s physical space. Detailed dioramas can be viewed in The Archives, a room in your museum dedicated to your gameplay achievements displayed in both virtual and mixed reality.
While an exact release date and pricing details are still under wraps, interested players can start building anticipation by adding it to their wishlist on the Meta Horizon Store. Recently, Civilization VII launched for Advanced Access buyers on PC and consoles, but initial reviews have been somewhat mixed. The game will open its doors to the wider audience on February 11, allowing all players to dive into this expansive strategy experience.
