Today, I’m delighted to give you a first look at Civilization VII on PS5, with a UI designed for your controller and features specially made for PlayStation platforms.

Here’s another franchise first: Civilization VII is coming to PlayStation consoles on the same day as its PC launch, with all the same content available on day one, and is cross-play compatible with other platforms in multiplayer. With Civilization VII, we’re planning to deliver new content simultaneously across PC and consoles, and this unified launch date is the first step in that commitment.

Let’s take a closer look at how Civilization VII plays on PS5, and some of the new features we’ve developed specifically for PlayStation players.

It shouldn't.

I can't imagine playing one of these games with a controller.

If they have any sensibility, the console(s) should also have full KB+Mouse support like the Age of Empire and Mythology ports.

To be fair Civ has worked really well with controllers for years, still not as good as kb/mouse but works very well still

Controllers are fine enough, but how does it work on a dance mat?

 

[tmlDan]

im good, ill be on pc

 

[HogIsland]

Dualsense on PC?

CIV6 plays surprisingly well on Steam Deck, but I use the right track pad heavily.

Dunno Holmes, I'll be playing with VR headset and picking those tiny asses up and throwing them down on the map

After BG3 was more fun to play with controller vs KBMouse I’m not surprised Civ is next. Consoles are king.

Why shouldn't it?

PCs support every controller making them the ultimate console.

 

[Zathalus]

While not ideal, it should play alright. It’s turn based, being a bit slow won’t exactly be a problem.

Haven’t thought of the possibility of KB+mouse support. The PS5 version looks fantastic, but even if they implement that I’d miss on the mods. Too bad it doesn’t have an iPad version like VI. Even without mods is where I’ve spend more hours playing.

I was a non believer also, but Civ 6 is “playable” on PS4/PS5. Obviously mouse and keyboard is preferable but then you have the shame of looking like this

 

[King Dazzar]

VI was fine with a controller, though it could still be further refined. However the UI font size was all over the place. Hopefully that's addressed with VII.
