Civilization 7 hasn't got off to the greatest start on Steam, with mixed reviews flooding the store page due to poor UI design choices and other issues. Firaxis is already gathering feedback to get the game into shape for long-time fans of the series on PC. However, the team is also hard at work on something unexpected – a VR version of the game. 

While table-top style strategy games are well suited to VR, we haven't seen many major RTS or strategy titles really embracing the technology. That changes this year with Civilization 7 VR. Firaxis is bringing the complete game as we know it on PC to the Meta Quest platform.

As we can see from the trailer, players will be hovering above the map, looking down on everything happening in the game. They will be able to get up close, position units, build out their cities and direct troops.

Civilization 7 VR will be exclusive to the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets, with plans to launch ‘this Spring'. Whether or not the VR version eventually makes its way over to SteamVR still remains to be seen.

KitGuru Says: Do you think Civ will be a success in VR? The way I see it, Civ games are often quite slow and include a lot of downtime if you are in multiplayer, making it an ideal game for a dual-screen PC set-up, but not so ideal for VR.
