Upon its release, 2K and Firaxis Games' turn-based strategy titleCivilization 6wasa massive success on Steam, as the sixth numbered entry in the long-running franchise having hit more than one million players within its first two weeks. Now, it looks as if the 2016 release is set to become more portable, with a recent post on the game’s official website declaring thatCiv 6is set to launch for Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2025.
According to 2K Games, the Nintendo Switch release ofCivilization 6will not only include the base game, but also the four additional scenarios of the Vikings scenario pack, Poland civilization and scenario pack, Australia civilization and scenario pack, and the Persia and Macedon civilization and scenario pack. What’s more is that the title will support competitive and cooperative play for up to four players over a local wireless connection.
AlthoughCivilization 6has been revealed as a forthcoming Nintendo Switch game, it’s worth noting that the announcement related to the turn-based strategy game’s port for the hybrid mobile console has since been taken offline. With this being the case, many are speculating whether or notCiv 6was intended to be a part of the recentlydelayed Nintendo Direct, and was inadvertently posted at the time when it was originally supposed to go up.
At any rate,Civilization 6coming to Nintendo Switch should excite those who own the system, especially since it is now going to be the sole console to support the critically-acclaimed game, withCiv 6having originally been PC-only. So, taking all of this into consideration, it will definitely be interesting to see just how wellCivilization 6plays once it makes the leap to the Big N’s latest piece of gaming hardware.
Civilization 6is available now for PC, and is set to launch for Nintendo Switch on June 13, 2025.
