From here a note: Civilization VII It is synonymous with the best turn-based strategy. It is not an FPS or a competitive action game in which the visual power and rhythm constantly punish our desktop hardware to justify playing 4K without the fluidity of the game collapsing. So, even if we decide to play at 1080p, what ultimately prevails is its addictive proposal in which we will try to prevail over the rest of the civilizations by reason or force. Or both at the same time.
Despite this, the good news, you still have room not only to update your equipment, but also tons of opportunities to do so during Black Friday, Christmas, Sales and until next Valentine’s Day: the launch of Civilization VII is scheduled for next February 25, 2025 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X / S and even Nintendo Switch. So if you are passionate about the series and were thinking about retiring your graphics, this is the unequivocal sign you were waiting for.
