Is Civilization 7 playable on Steam Deck?

Yes! Civilization 7 is officially Steam Deck verified, according to a Firaxis Games post on X.

Being Steam Deck verified means that Civilization 7 will work on your Steam Deck with no extra steps — but, if you’re running into performance issues, you can always stream from your PC to your Steam Deck via Steam Remote Play.

Additionally, the Nintendo Switch version of Civilization 7 is not expected to support map sizes of Standard and above, but there has not been any news of Steam Decks following suit. If you’re a proud owner of both the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, it may be better for you to play on the Steam Deck due to performance.
