Civilization VI hits console for first time with November 16 Switch launch

2K Games announced today that Civilization VI is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 16. This is the first time a Civilization game is coming to a home console since the release of Civilization Revolution in 2008, which was designed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It was a simplified take on the series that did not have a PC release.

Civilization VI launched for PC in October 2016, with an iPad version following on December 2017. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One do not have Civilization VI. In fact, this will be the first time a numbered entry in the Civilization series has come to a console since Civilization II had a port on the original PlayStation in 1999.
