New gameplay for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 is now available, showcasing the 4X strategy title on PlayStation 5. The visuals and attention to detail are stunning, especially with the environments and architecture. Check it out below.
However, the accompanying PlayStation Blog article offers more substance on the console version. Firaxis revealed that each platform has separate graphics renderers, thus ensuring the title’s optimization on PS5 and PS4. The UI has also seen some changes with a radial menu that lets you jump to the most frequently used systems.
PS5 players can also leverage the DualSense’s Haptic Feedback, which reacts in numerous situations like starting your turn, taking damage, and declaring war. Even founding a new city results in a “hammer-like thud”, but if it’s too much, you can turn it off.
There’s also cross-platform multiplayer for up to five players in the Antiquity and Exploration Ages and up to eight in the Modern Age. You can play through all three in a match or select a single Age. Head here for more details on the Ages system.
Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 launches on February 11th, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
