Civilization 7 PC Specs Have Been Revealed

As a seasoned PC gamer with memories of countless hours spent conquering civilizations in previous versions of Civilization, I must say that the system requirements for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 have left me both excited and slightly concerned. The minimum requirements are manageable, but the jump to ultra settings is substantial, even for a strategy game.


The specifications for the forthcoming Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 have been disclosed, allowing PC gamers to gauge whether their system is up to the mark before the game launches in February. Given its strategic nature, it’s not surprising that the minimum requirements are less stringent than those for most AAA games. However, running the game at its highest settings will necessitate a more powerful computer than one might initially anticipate.

The game’s minimum standards ask for a Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU or better, Intel Core i3-10100 CPU or better, 8GB of RAM, and a 20GB SSD, meaning most PCs should be able to handle Civilization 7 on low graphics settings. Recommended settings, which will play the game on a medium graphics preset, requires a Nvidia RTX 2060 or better, Intel Core i5-10400 or better, 16GB RAM, and a 20GB SSD.

Hey there, PC gamers! Here’s the complete breakdown of PC specifications needed to run Sid Meier’s Civilization VII smoothly. Enjoy!

As a gamer, I’ve found that cranking up the settings to ultra really amps up the game requirements, especially for strategy turn-based games. It might not be as intense as some AAA titles, but it’s still no walk in the park. To run this game smoothly on ultra settings, they recommend a Nvidia RTX 4070 or a more powerful GPU, an Intel Core i7-14700f or a similarly potent CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a spacious 20GB SSD.

Civilization 7 is planned to be available on Mac and Linux as well, but specific system requirements for these platforms haven’t been announced yet. Most PC gamers should be able to meet the minimum requirements when they are disclosed, but it’s a good idea for players to check their systems in advance to ensure they’re ready by the time the game is released.

Fans of Civilization have been eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series for quite some time now. Fortunately, it’s due to arrive on both PC and console platforms next February. There are four different versions to select from, with a few offering early access starting on February 6. The standard editions will be globally available as of February 11.
