Firaxis has published the requirements for Civilization VII, the next installment of one of the legendary sagas of the strategy genre, which, according to what we can see, will be able to run on many millions of computers. due to the limited hardware you will need… at least in the basic configuration.

fans “one more turn”pay attention, because in a few months we will have a new game in the series that was once developed by the legendary developer Sid Meiers. If Civilization VI celebrated the 25th anniversary of the franchise’s launch, Civilization VII aims to open a new chapter in empire-building games.

Civilization Requirements VII

We still have time to talk about the game, but recently there have been so many fiascos due to insufficient optimization when running PC games that the technical part and especially the hardware requirements to run a certain game are more and more important. . And it shouldn’t. Gameplay and fun should always be way above FPS and GHz.

Get to the point. Firaxis announced Civilization VII’s requirements via an X image that shows three different default settings: Low, Medium and High. And they are, as their name suggests, low at the base and high at the top. This seems true, but they are not always fulfilled and confuse users.

Highlights include that the studio hopes gamers can start playing with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, AMD Radeon RX 460 or Intel Arc A380 graphics cards. It’s 2016 hardwareso it shouldn’t be a problem to play at least on low settings (1080p – 30 FPS).

At the top end, to achieve 60 FPS with native 4K resolution, we will need at least NVIDIA RTX 4070 / AMD RX 7800 .

It’s not like it’s outrageous for a gaming PC in 2025.yes, these requirements are definitely replicated faithfully and allow you to enjoy the experience of a game that, without requiring the level of a shooter, must be shown in all its glory. Surprising is the very small disk space for installing the game, the same for all configurations and only 20 Gbytes.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII will premiere on February 11, 2025 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and of course on PC, be it Windows, macOS and also Linux. The PC version will be released on Steam and the Epic Games Store and is available for pre-order now.
