Today, after a long break, I opened the Epic Games launcher out of curiosity. I’d been busy with home renovations and had to stay on top of things with the workers. Once everything was done, I finally sat down at my laptop and clicked the Epic icon. I scrolled straight to the free games section—and there it was: Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition, completely free!
For some, this might not be a big deal. But for me, someone who’s played the original Civilization back in the day, it’s huge. I still remember seeing it for the first time on a friend’s PC. I didn’t think much of it at first, but after some convincing from my friends, I gave it a shot—and didn’t see them again for a week. I was hooked.
Civilization VI is one of those rare games that combines depth, knowledge, geopolitics, and strategy, with a touch of political simulation. It’s addictive in the best way possible. If you’re a fan of turn-based strategy games, this is a must-have.
What’s Included in the Free Platinum Edition?
From July 17 to July 24, 2025, Epic Games is offering the full Platinum Edition of Civilization VI for free. This bundle includes:
The base game
Two major expansions: Rise and Fall & Gathering Storm
Six DLC packs: Vikings, Poland, Australia, Persia & Macedon, Nubia, and Khmer & Indonesia
That’s a package worth around $80, now yours to keep forever if you claim it in time.
Why Civilization VI Still Reigns Supreme
Even though Civilization VII launched earlier this year, many players still prefer Civ VI for its complete experience. It’s available on PC, mobile, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and holds a 4.7/5 rating on the Epic Games Store.
I also checked Steam, and while recent reviews are mixed, the overall feedback remains very positive. The current discounted price there is €59.99, even with a 53% discount—so grabbing it free from Epic is a no-brainer.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or new to the genre, Civilization VI is a masterpiece that deserves a spot in every gamer’s collection. Don’t miss this opportunity to own one of the greatest 4X strategy games of all time—free until July 24 on the Epic Games Store.
