Civilization VII is making its debut in VR, bringing a fresh immersive experience – but only for Meta Quest users.
Civilization VII is about to bring a whole new experience with its upcoming VR version. Set to launch exclusively for Meta Quest 3, it promises an immersive way to lead your civilization. With its rich history and strategic depth, the Civilization franchise continues to evolve, offering fans new ways to experience the game. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest news in the Civilization franchise.
Get Ready to Lead Your Civ in 3D
It’s official – Civilization VII is stepping into the VR world, and it’s not just about building cities anymore; it’s about living them. Starting this spring, Meta Quest 3 users will get to interact with their civilizations like never before, with life-size historical figures giving them the rundown on their diplomatic decisions. When Ben Franklin is able to tame lightning, maybe he can tame your idiotic ideas too. Civilization VII VR is officially exclusive to Meta Quest 3, meaning PlayStation VR users will have to sit this one out while others dive into the immersive world of strategic conquest.

Think of it as a real-life game of chess, except your pieces are civilizations, and they actually talk back. It’s like being the ruler of the world... but with more headsets and fewer invasions from barbarians. Civilization VII in VR is taking immersive strategy gaming to the next level, and we’re all here for it. You can pick various historic leaders to stand beside you – and no, Kanye, you cannot pick that guy.
Strategy Just Got a VR Upgrade!
For years, we’ve watched our cities grow from above – zooming in, out, and all around the map. Now, Civilization VII is flipping the script. With the VR release, you’ll be up close and personal with the action, like a tiny god in a big, detailed sandbox. And don’t even get us started on the fact that Cleopatra can now give you side-eye in person. We can’t wait to see how history plays out when you’re in the middle of it.
Plus, for the first time ever, your "command table" will be fully immersive, turning your living room into a battlefield. No more flat maps – this is the future of world domination, and it’s all happening in glorious 3D. Move over, regular Civ fans. The VR revolution is here, and it’s about to get wild. Meta seems to be taking a page out of Valve’s book, who gave fans a great reason to buy their VR headset with Half-Life: Alyx. Maybe Civilization VII VR will finally be a good reason to pick up the Quest – rather than Meta’s $60 billion Metaverse flop.
