Sid Meier’s Civilization VII System Requirements Announced

Sid Meier's Civilization VII is the next game to be announced in the Civilization franchise, a beloved franchise that has been going since 1991, with multiple spin-offs in the franchise. The next main game in the franchise was announced during Summer Games Fest 2024 and is slated for a 2025 release. As of today, the official system requirements have been announced, and the Ultra settings are asking quite a lot of players. At the moment, there have been no Mac requirements listed, so it's uncertain whether the game will be arriving on Mac as it releases on PC, if it'll come at a later date, or if there are no plans to put it onto Mac at all. Civilization VI was put onto Mac and Linux, so it's likely that the game will also be released on Mac at some point in its lifespan. Below are the PC system requirements for Civilization VII, as announced today on X.

MINIMUM RECOMMENDED ULTRA GRAPHICS PRESET Low Medium High RESOLUTION 1080p 1080p 4K FPS 30 FPS 60 FPS 60 FPS CPU Intel Core i3-10100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Intel Core i7-14700F / AMD Ryzen 9 5950X GPU NVIDIA GTX 1050 / AMD RX 460 / Intel Arc A380 NVIDIA RTX 2060 / AMD RX 6600 / Intel Arc A750 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT MEMORY 8 GB RAM 16 GB RAM 32 GB RAM STORAGE 20 GB SSD 20 GB SSD 20 GB SSD OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 10/11 64-Bit Windows 10 / 11 64-Bit Windows 10 / 11 64-Bit DIRECTX Version 12 Version 12 Version 12

While the lower settings are quite reasonable, as are the recommended settings, dedicated fans in the comments are already posting their shock at the intense requirements for the ULTRA settings. Typically, Civilization games aren't that hardware intensive, and players can still run the game on great graphics without their hardware running hot. However, it seems that Firaxis has a different idea for this game.
