With Quest 3’s launch, Civ VII achieves unprecedented synergy. Play turn-based on PS5, then don a Quest 3 headset to stand inside your cities in VR. The “Omni-Save” system syncs progress across all 8 platforms via cloud streaming. Quest 3’s hand tracking lets players physically place districts, while PSVR2’s eye-tracking accelerates unit commands. “VR cities render at 120fps with passthrough mini-maps,” says XR Director Sarah Robinson. Cross-play supports 16-player matches mixing all platforms – Switch 2’s touchscreen even enables real-time war sketching.

Its cinematic flair comes through historical storytelling elements woven into diplomatic encounters, leader interactions, and dynamic world-building moments.
