Get ready, gamers, because the PC specifications for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 are finally out, giving you a chance to see if your computer can handle the game when it launches next February.
If you’re aiming for the basic experience, you won’t need much—just a Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU, an Intel Core i3-10100 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 20GB SSD. These specs should allow most computers to run the game with low graphics. But if you’re looking to enjoy the game with medium graphics, you’ll need a bit more power: a Nvidia RTX 2060 or better, an Intel Core i5-10400 or better, 16GB RAM, and the same 20GB SSD.
For those wanting the ultimate visual experience, the requirements are quite high for a strategy game. To play on ultra settings, you’ll need a Nvidia RTX 4070 or better, an Intel Core i7-14700f or higher, 32GB RAM, and a 20GB SSD. That’s a pretty hefty ask, although not as extreme as some other big games out there.
Civilization 7 is also set to release on Mac and Linux, but the specific specs for these platforms haven’t been shared yet. Most PC users should meet at least the basic requirements, but there’s still time to make sure your setup is ready.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for this new installment, and it’s almost here, landing on PCs and consoles next February. The game will be available in four different editions, with some offering early access starting February 6, while the standard editions will hit globally on February 11.
