Civilization VII comes to Apple Arcade in February

"The App Store is a home for many kinds of apps (including, inexplicably, one that lets users undress strangers without their consent). But hey, it also has games! And soon the store's Apple Arcade service will include one more: the not-so-highly rated Civilization VII. Apple announced on Wednesday that Sid Meier's Civilization VII will arrive almost exactly a year after launch. The game is already available for Apple devices, but its arrival on Apple Arcade will be a first."

""Free (for Apple Arcade subscribers)" may be the right pricing for the game, given its mixed reviews. A common complaint is the way it handles transitions between eras. ("I have Ben Franklin leading the Romans that turned into Ben Franklin leading Spain... like what? Who asked for this?" a Steam reviewer wrote.) On the other hand, its visuals are praised by most."

Civilization VII will arrive on Apple Arcade on February 5 and will be playable on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The Apple Arcade edition appears almost exactly a year after the game's initial launch. The game is already available for Apple devices, but the Apple Arcade release marks a new distribution channel. Reviews for the game are mixed, with many players criticizing how the game handles transitions between eras and unexpected leader/civilization changes. Many reviewers praise the game's visuals. Free access for Apple Arcade subscribers may suit the game's reception and ratings.
