VR fans have been asking for it for years, and now Civilization is finally available in VR. Better yet, it's not some old version ported to the Meta Quest 3, it's the latest entry that just came out this year! Civ VII VR reestablishes the series' gameplay in tabletop roots with a dynamic board in front of you. Commanding your armies and troops has never felt more authentic!

Civ VII VR takes cues from other strategy games, allowing you to tilt the board for maximum comfort. You can even switch over to mixed reality at any time, allowing you to put that strategy table anywhere in your physical space or make it feel like a legit board game by placing it on your table. Plus, now you can see and talk to those advisors that always used to pop up in the corner of the screen, as they're now represented in fully life-sized form in front of you in VR.
