Civilization VI comes to Netflix, letting you build a civilization to stand the test of time

• Civilization VI is out now on Netflix Games
• It sees you leading civilizations to greatness as famous figures from history
• Additionally, the Netflix release comes packaged with all expansions and DLC

If you're a Netflix subscriber, an avid gamer, and a fan of history, today's your lucky day. That's because Sid Meier's Civilization VI, the critically acclaimed grand strategy that lets you rule the world as famous faces from throughout history, is out now on the Netflix Games catalogue.

Civilization should need little introduction, but for those of you not familiar, here's a quick primer. Civilization VI is the latest entry in the iconic 4X franchise that sees you taking on the role of famous figures from throughout history to lead your chosen faction. Each is distinct, with their own bonuses, and it's your job to lead them from the Stone Age to modernity while building wonders, researching technology and waging war on your neighbours.

In short, if you ever wanted to find out what would have happened if Polynesia founded Roman Catholicism, America built the pyramids, or Gandhi had nukes, then Civ is the answer to all your wishes.

Okay, explaining Civ, even in the space of this whole article is virtually impossible. But if you're already familiar, you'll be excited, and if you've never played Civilization before but have a Netflix subscription, take my advice and give it a go.

The Netflix Games release of Civilization VI comes packaged with the Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm expansions, which make massive overhauls by adding in golden and dark ages, climate change, natural disasters and more. That's before we get into aspects like optional zombie modes, cultists and more.

If it's your first time jumping into Civilization, don't fret, we've got plenty of articles to guide you along the way. Discover every Secret Society in Civilization VI you can pledge allegiance to, or discover the secret behind Amenities and how to keep your citizens happy and productive.
