Civilization VI

Released: 2016 — API: DirectX 12 — Engine: Civilization

The franchise that's synonymous with turn-based strategy, Civilization is an engaging "God-game" where you lead a nascent civilization all the way to the space age. Civilization VI is the latest entry to the smash-hit series and builds on the "4X" victory-condition approach. Improvements have been made to the game's technology tree system. The game also introduces unit stacking to help reduce on-screen clutter.

Based on the latest Firaxis engine, Civilization VI was updated with a patch to add support for DirectX 12. We tested the game in DirectX 12 mode.
