Civilization VII Now Available on Apple Arcade
Civilization VII is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac through Apple Arcade, allowing players to seamlessly transition their campaigns across different Apple devices. This new release offers true pocket Civ gameplay without any ads, upsells, or the need to purchase the game separately for each device.
Enjoy Short Bursts and Long Nights
The appeal of Civilization VII on Apple Arcade lies in its ability to reward players with short gaming sessions or long immersive gameplay experiences. With the option to continue your campaign on a larger screen, this version of Civ offers the best of both worlds.
Sync Your Progress Across Devices
One of the standout features of Civilization VII on Apple Arcade is the seamless sync of your progress across devices. Whether you’re playing on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you can pick up right where you left off without having to start over.
Touch-First Gameplay with Controller Support
This edition of Civ is designed for touch controls, making unit movements, city management, and menu navigation easy with taps and gestures. For those who prefer a more traditional gaming experience, controller support is also available on iPad and Mac.
Limitations to Consider
While Civilization VII on Apple Arcade offers a great gaming experience, there are some limitations to be aware of. Multiplayer functionality is not available at launch and is planned for a future update. Additionally, cross-play with PC or console versions is not supported.
Device Compatibility
Before installing Civilization VII on Apple Arcade, make sure your device meets the required specifications. The game calls for iOS 17 and an A17 Pro class iPhone or newer, with larger map sizes requiring devices with more than 8GB of RAM.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a portable way to enjoy the Civilization experience, Apple Arcade provides a smooth and seamless option, especially if you plan to switch between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. However, if your Civ gameplay revolves around online matches or mods, this version may be best as a supplementary option for now.
