Civilization VII will arrive next February, and you can already prepare for its release: here are the minimum, recommended, and ultra requirements to enjoy it on your PC.

Minimum and Recommended Specifications for Civilization VII on PC

Civilization VII, the game for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, has strategy fans marking their calendars for February 11, 2025.

We’re talking about a franchise with over three decades of history, six installments, and several expansions, all centered around the same goal: guiding the development of civilization from prehistory to the future.

After eight long years since Civilization VI, fans will finally be able to dive into the most ambitious entry yet. Plus, the PC requirements to fully enjoy this chapter have already been revealed.

Through its official X/Twitter, Civilization VII has unveiled the minimum, recommended, and ultra configurations for playing the game on PC.

It seems that Firaxis’ new title is aiming to leverage powerful CPUs rather than focusing heavily on graphics cards, though maxing out the game’s settings might require you to upgrade your setup.

Minimum Requirements

• Resolution: 1080p
• FPS: 30
• CPU: Intel Core i3-10100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200

The most demanding PC version will undoubtedly be the most spectacular, but PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are also expected to perform well.
Another option is to opt for the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions, though the visual quality will likely be lower, and they won’t have the same features as their more advanced counterparts.

At the last Gamescom, Civilization VII previewed some of the game’s civilizations, starting with the Axum, Egypt, Maya, Maurya, and Rome in the Ancient Era, and Shawnee in the Age of Exploration.

In Civilization VII, players will take on the role of legendary leaders to build the wonders of civilization, conquer rival territories, and initiate an expansion that spans centuries and overcomes the worst crises.

Civilization VII will be available in both a standard version and a Founders Edition, which offers five days of early access, the “Crossroads of the World” expansion, and additional content to expand your strategic experience.
