Civilization VI is free on the Epic Games Store
Each week, the Epic Games Store gives away a title or two as part of the company’s free games program. Available for the next 7 days, all those with an Epic Games account can get their hands on the highly-praised 4x strategy game Civilization VI.
Available to add to your library from today at 4PM UK time (and claimable until the 24th) is Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition.
Initially released back in 2016, the game received plenty of post-launch content, helping the Civilization name to maintain its spot at the top of its genre. Unfortunately, the latest entry in the series – 2025’s Civ VII – has not had the greatest of starts.

As such, if you’re looking for a Civilization game to get into, Epic’s free offering is an excellent option. The Platinum Edition in particular includes the base game, 6 DLC packs and 2 Expansions, meaning you won’t be hurt for content.
As mentioned, you have until 4PM on the 24th of July to claim Civ VI – at which point it will be replaced by another title. Of course, once it’s in your library it’s yours to keep forever, so there’s no reason not to.
