Developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI launched for the Windows and Macintosh operating systems last year on the 21st of October. It already won the “Best Strategy Game” award during the The Game Awards 2016 annual awards ceremony. And, believe it or not, it’s now coming to Linux, too. We know that many of you Linux gamers wanted to play Sid Meier’s Civilization VI on their SteamOS or Linux-powered gaming rigs, so this should be the big news of the year (so far) you’ve been waiting for. The Linux version appears to be developed by Aspyr Media.
