Civilization VI expansions coming to Switch in 2019
- Thread starter Dekuman
- Start date
This is great news, I've just started getting into Civ VI on Switch and have been hoping for some updates on this.
Does the game run well on Switch?
I was a huge fan of Civ 3 and I got 6 on PC for free when I bought my rx 480 a few years ago but I never really played it tbh. I'd rather play it on Switch.

As the iterations go on its getting harder and harder for me to forgive the abysmal AI. High difficulty shouldn't mean letting the AI cheat.

Yes it runs fine
I have over 40 hours In it. Maybe 1 crash?
I always play on the largest map.size too
Arguably. The game has become super good with expansions and updates, and Firaxis has been integrating some good Steam Workshop concepts and content into the game proper, too. But it still has some aggravating bugs, balance foibles, and odd design choices that aren't always super obvious but which can still rear their ugly heads in ways that make it hard for me to consider Civ VI the best of the bunch. That shit is steadily being ironed out but yeah.
Better than Civ 4 Complete? I'd say so.
Better than Civ 5 Complete? IMO, not without mods, so, not on Switch.
It's still very much Civ, though, so it's still more than worth playing.
As had I. I wonder how many people were waiting on this confirmation to buy the game on Switch. I know I was.
Expacs on the horizon + PC <-> Switch save transfer = this is actually looking like a version of the game I want to own now
Nah, it's the worst of the "modern" Civ games.
That said, it's still very good.
Thanks, so Civ is still good after all those years. it always was one of my favorite strategy games.
I remember a lot of people criticizing the game here.
Great to hear! I specifically bought the game for multiple transatlantic flights I have later this year.

Some people really couldn't get over 1 unit per tile change carried over from Civ5 and the pro Climate change slant of Gathering Storm. It also briefly was the target of brigading downvotes since the game does send analytics back to 2K servers on how people play and people got worked up over it about privacy (I assume they don't want the devs to see them save scumming?). So the various user review aggregates are not reliable.
Long-time Civ player here (since 2... on the PSX... don't judge me) but for me personally 6 is the one I've spent the least time on. I thought adding the districts and a bit more micromanagement would actually be an improvement but for me it just ended up bogging down the early and mid game for me. Then again the very speedy Civ4 is my favourite version so it was always going to be difficult for me to come around (I eventually did for Civ5 and that was after all expansions dropped).
I haven't touched it since the first expansion (still need to buy the second one on Steam) but the portability of this is tempting. If they release a Complete edition I might bite...

They better patch the base game, I hear this thing crashes quite frequently which is a massive show-stopper for a game you can pour so many hours into.
Remember the Civ 5 bug where Gandhi has a negative aggression modifier, but they set his base aggression so low that the modifier took it out of bounds and ended up making him ultra aggressive nuke maniac, those sort of bugs I'm okay with.

Civ 6 is basically a 'District' expansion to civ 5 plus a different set of rulers and a revamped civic/tech tree. Then the last 2 civ6 expansions add even more to diplomacy, spies, and late game techs and natural disasters. All versions of civ are fun civ building games, but the AI is always poor. They increase difficulty by giving the computer unfair buffs. Most long term fand would gladly pay $30 for an expansion that just added smart AI.
PS...don't play this on Switch. Surface is the best way to play this on a portable.
Oh yeah, I'm one of the folks who criticizes it every chance I get, but I still love it lol.
My problem is more that it's not Civ V (which I view as one of the best games ever made) than anything else, really.
YES
I lost hope when there was no news around E3. I wanna play those expansions so bad, but my PC too old to handle any of it.
I hope they manage to make the whole thing run better, but even in the slow boot - crash frequent state of the current version I had a lot of fun with it so I would probably buy it anyway, lol

Hell yeah. Hopefully the performance stays strong too:
I see you're a man of culture as well 🧐
They're the same build as the Switch version so I can't see the expansions not coming to those too.
Maybe it might for the expansion packs update? Who knows at this point?
Rise and Fall was just added (Edit: 21 hours ago). Saw it in an update, today. The update is 3.7 GB on iPad. Edit: $39.99 CAD, on iOS. That is likely $29.99 USD. Will be waiting for a sale.
I believe online is coming to the iOS versions. Given this is the same build, maybe it will come to the Switch version as well.
