Civilization VII VR is now available on Meta Quest
The VR version of the game is a Meta Quest 3 and 3S exclusive.
Fresh after the release of Update 1.1.1, 2K has launched Civilization VII VR, exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
In case you missed it, yes, Civ 7 has a virtual reality version, and it’s not just a glorified demo. You can actually play a full game of Civ 7 (including all three eras) in VR, albeit in a more “immersive” way.
That’s because the game features a perspective that turns Civ 7 into a more board game-like experience.
You can check out the previously released announcement trailer to get an idea of what to expect:
To give you a better idea of the VR version’s new additions, the game’s highlight features include:
- A True Civilization Experience in VR/MR – Enjoy Civilization from a unique new perspective, whether peering down from high above the map or leaning all the way in to appreciate the finer details of every building and unit.
- Meet Visionary Leaders Face-to-Face – Iconic world leaders surround the War Table, reacting to forged alliances or declarations of war. Negotiate your empire’s best interests one-on-one with other leaders in the new Diplomacy Chamber.
- Your Empire Enters Reality – Reach out and take control with the new interface designed for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, letting players change viewpoints at will and bring the War Table into the surroundings with dynamic mixed reality.
- Conquer or Cooperate – Play solo or compete in online multiplayer matches with up to three other Meta Quest 3 and 3S players.
- Relive Your Empire’s Glory – Revisit your history and achievements in the Archives, a virtual space where the heights of your empire are captured as dioramas you can see anytime you like in VR.
For now, Civilization VII for VR is available exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. There’s no word yet on if this version will be released on other VR platforms, though we’re hoping it eventually launches on PS VR2, Steam, and more.
