Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition - What's included

First and foremost, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition comes with the base game. Players have all the time in the world to noodle away at their civilization in its quest to reign supreme.

Research new technology, negotiate with rival nations and fight invaders in the tried and true tradition with richer graphics than ever before. Cities span more than one tile so you can take advantage of the terrain.

On a similar note, support units can embed with other units to make intriguing combinations. Multiplayer Civ fans have so many options to pick from they won’t know what to do with themselves!

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition has a major bonus with six different bodacious packs: the Vikings Scenario Pack, the Poland Civilization & Scenario Pack, the Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack, the Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack, the Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack, and the Khmer and Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack.

Not only do these packs give you more Civilizations to play as (each with their own unique bonuses), but they come with challenging scenarios for those looking to sharpen their skills. As if Civilization VI wasn’t a big enough game already, right?

The Civilization series is renowned for its dynamic expansions. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition comes with two of them: Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm.

Rise and Fall adds a compelling new loyalty wrinkle to the mix. Don’t cater to a cities whims enough, and they might leave you for another civilization!

In addition, your Civ can enter either the Golden Age or the Dark Age if they meet certain criteria. Eurogamer’s Chris Tapsell noted these changes to the gameplay "completely shift how you think about the game".

As one might surmise from its name, Gathering Storm focuses on ecological consequence. Placements of cities become more important than ever as nature takes its toll through flood plains and disasters of a larger sort.

If your civilization survives long enough, the ice caps start to melt. Gameplay in the Gathering Storm is a bountiful challenge for even the most seasoned veteran.

As Fraser Brown of PC Gamer fame put it, "it’s the most exciting Civilization has been in ages".

So, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Platinum Edition comes with the base game, six Civilizations & Scenario Packs and the Gathering Storm and Rise and Fall expansions. It’s a must for strategy gamers of all kinds!
