A note for Switch players: Update 1.2.0 – Patch 1 will be incorporated into our June update on Nintendo Switch, coinciding with the release of Civilization VII on Nintendo Switch 2. We appreciate your patience! 

Today’s patch addresses some late-game performance drops, brings some stability improvements, and includes a handful of improvements in response to player feedback. We’re also heads-down on our next update, planned for early June, which will include plenty more improvements and updates across the game. Thanks for continuing to share your feedback, Civ fans!
