Developer Firaxis has released a minor update for Civilization 7 on all platforms, and this is for patch version 1.5.2 Patch 2.

Console gamers will see this download as Civilization 7 update 1.18/1.000.020, and this is a small file that aims to resolve a few key issues regarding performance and more.

Read on for the complete patch notes.

Civilization 7 Updated on April 16 to Fix Technical Issues

Note: As part of a wider 2K rollout, Civilization VII has now added support for Teen Accounts. For players who are old enough to create a full 2K Account but are under 18, certain features will be disabled by default to prioritize a safer experience. Players will have full control and can re-enable them anytime through 2K Account settings.

Here’s how to update your account preferences: 

  1. Go to portal.2k.com and log into your linked 2K Account.
  2. Once in the 2K Portal, navigate to the game permissions section. There you can select the game(s) you wish to change your settings for.

More details about change is available on the official 2K support site.

Patch Notes

  • Addressed an issue that was causing late game performance drops.
    • Dev Note: Game logic checking for attackable buildings was improved to avoid unnecessary and expensive calculations.
  • Addressed a crash that players could experience during Next Turn AI processing.
  • Added Teen Account support for 2K Accounts.

Once another patch is out, we’ll have it up on the site.
