Hello Civ fans, Update 1.1.0 is here - our first major update to Civilization VII! This update includes a mix of both paid and free content, with many of the free additions influenced by community feedback. For a list of notes including what's coming to console, check out the full notes on the Civilization website. As part of these update notes, were introducing a Feature Spotlight section, where the developers will dive deeper into new features or improvements being made. The Update Notes will cover all the addressed issues and improvements, including changes to both the base game and DLC. And lastly, for those who are excited about paid content additions, a Collection section will showcase the newest civs, leaders, and Wonders included in the latest paid Content Collection. This update also brings a number of addressed issues and improvements specifically for console players. Some of these changes may already be available to PC players, but now all platforms are fully up-to-date. This also means crossplay between PC has been restored across PC, Playstation, Xbox, and Switch, so you can once again enjoy cross-platform multiplayer between PC and these consoles with the latest version of the game. For a look into what else were planning, take a look at our recently released Update Check-in detailing some of what you can expect in our next update, and some major features being scoped out for the future. As always, were listening closely to your feedback, so please keep sharing your thoughts on the Steam Discussion forums or our official Civilization Discord Server.
