Sid Meier's Civilization VII · published
In honor of the series' 35th anniversary, Civilization VII—the latest installment—is available to play for free on Steam starting this weekend, from September 3 at 10AM PT to September 10 at 10AM PT.*
During this event, Civ VII's Standard and Settler's Editions will also be available for 50% off on Steam until September 17 at 10AM PT.**
The celebration doesn't end there: Civ VII will also be at PAX West on September 5! If you're in town, we'd love for you to join us in the Blue Dragon Theatre at the Seattle Convention Center on Saturday at 2PM PT. If you can't make it in person, you can still watch the dev team gather to discuss what's next for Civilization VII via the livestream (or VOD) of the event on our official Civ YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook pages.
For more on the latest in Civ VII, head to the official Civilization site for Game Guides, community resources, and more, including a link to our official Discord server where you can discuss all things Civ in-depth with other players.
