Civilization 6 is one of the most popular strategy games of the last decade. It lets you build and lead a civilization from ancient times to the space age, with turn-based gameplay that rewards planning, diplomacy, and conquest. And now, you can get it for free.
While Civilization 7 didn’t exactly release to huge fanfare, Civ 6 did, with thousands of fans still enjoying all the game has to offer. It’s widely considered one of the best franchises, complete with tons of DLCs and expansions, which, of course, can make it pretty expensive.
All in, the Platinum Edition will cost players just under $80, which is quite impressive for a game that’s five years old. That is, unless you can bag it for free thanks to Epic Games.
Epic Games offers $80 Civ 6 & all DLCs for free for a limited time
From July 17 to July 24, fans can grab Civilization 6 and all its DLCs for free thanks to the Epic Games Store.
Normally sold as a bundle for around $80, the Platinum Edition is completely free for a limited time, and it includes everything you need:
- Base game
- 6 DLC packs
- Vikings Scenario Pack
- Poland Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Persia & Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Khmer & Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack
- 2 major expansions:
- Rise and Fall
- Gathering Storm
Each DLC adds new leaders, civilizations, and unique mechanics that shake up how you play. From Australia’s production boosts to Persia’s surprise war bonuses, each civilization has its strengths and strategies.
The DLCs also include custom scenarios, short, challenge-based game modes with unique rulesets that offer a different pace from standard matches.
The expansions go even further, overhauling core systems to make Civ 6 a much deeper and more dynamic game. Rise and Fall introduces loyalty, governors, and era-based golden and dark ages, forcing you to manage internal stability as your empire grows. Gathering Storm brings in climate change, natural disasters, and global diplomacy, turning the late game into a race to adapt or outlast a world in crisis.
The offer goes live on July 17 at 4 PM BST / 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET and runs through July 24, so you only have a week to bag this bargain.
