With the Nintendo Switch 2, we've got Civilization VII ready for you! If you already have the game for the original Switch platform you won't want to buy the game all over again, so we've got an upgrade option ready for you.
Where can I order the upgrade for Civilization VII to the Switch 2?
You can make your order directly on the Nintendo Store here.
What does the game for Switch 2 include that isn't on the original Switch version?
- Standard size maps, so 8 player multiplayer is now possible, along with more cross-platform play opportunities
- Joycon Mouse control, along with a new and localized tutorial for those controls
- Campus (GameChat) integration
- 4K Docked Mode
Keep in mind this is only for upgraded editions, playing the original Switch version on a Switch 2 will not come with these features!
Can I just buy it for the Switch 2?
You can purchase the original Switch version and the upgrade, but there's not a stand-alone Switch 2 version currently.
What if I already own the game for my original Switch?
In that case, you can purchase the Upgrade Pack right in Nintendo's store site linked above, which will make sure you've got the game for both Switch and Switch 2.
Do I have to have a digital version of Civilization VII to use the Upgrade Pack?
No, if you have a physical or digital version of the game, you can purchase the upgrade pack and have both platforms ready for you to conquer the world.
