This is one of the best strategy games you can play on your Mac. Civilization 6 feels familiar, yet both gameplay and graphcis are superior. I even wondered how Firaxis could make it any better.
The situation is much better now, as Aspyr finally made cross-platform multiplayer possiblein 2018:Ĭross-platform multiplayer is now available between Mac and Windows on Steam. That’s right! Download the latest update of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and conquer together online now! Bottom line
Cross-platform multiplayerįor a while, Civ 6 on Mac suffered from receiving late updates, disabling cross-platform Multiplayer with Windows users.

PC Gamer, for example, didn’t spare any compliments and gave it 93/100 score, concluding: The reviews all agree: Civilization 6 is a beast. Released in late 2016, Civilization 6 has more than proven itself to be a safe purchase.
