There is an opinion that strategies, especially grand-strategies, are games primarily for PC, and it is inconvenient to play them on consoles because of the specifics of control.

Developers from Firaxis studio tried to refute this statement.

Here's What We Know

Game designers published the first gameplay trailer of 4X-strategy Sid Meier's Civilisation VII, recorded on PlayStation 5, but relevant for Xbox and Nintendo Switch users.

The clip shows that Firaxis has put a lot of effort into making the game comfortable to control with a controller. The interface of Civilisation VII on consoles has undergone minor changes - it has a slightly different layout of icons, special circular menus, and many actions are assigned to intuitive buttons.

When We Can Expect It

Sid Meier's Civilization VII will be released on 11 February simultaneously on all platforms mentioned above.
