Game News: Civilization 7 Ditches 2K Launcher for PC Gamers
Hey there, fellow gamer! Are you tired of juggling multiple launchers on your PC just to dive into your favorite games? Well, the good news is here! Firaxis, the powerhouse behind the Civilization series, has officially announced that Civilization 7 will be saying goodbye to the 2K launcher requirement on PC. And guess what? Civilization 6 has already made this leap if you purchased your copy on Steam.
Freedom from Launcher Hassles
Let’s face it, dealing with additional logins and launchers can be a real buzzkill when all you want to do is conquer the virtual world. While the 2K launcher might not be the worst out there (though that’s not saying much), shedding this extra layer of complexity has been met with a wave of cheers and sighs of relief from the gaming community.
Official Confirmation and Community Reactions
Firaxis dropped the bombshell alongside the launch of Challenge 10 on August 14, confirming the removal of the 2K Launcher from Sid Meier’s Civilization VI on Steam. In their Steam announcement, they also revealed that Civilization VII will steer clear of the 2K Launcher on PC. The news spread like wildfire on the game’s subreddit, with plans in motion to bid adieu to the launcher on the Epic Store in the near future.
The community’s response? A resounding “thank goodness,” echoing the sentiments of many relieved gamers out there.
The Road Ahead: Civilization 7 and Beyond
With the shackles of launchers removed, you’re now free to immerse yourself in the world of Civ 6, plotting your world domination as a zealous Canada spreading the word of Zoroastrianism through strategic city planning. Keep your eyes peeled for Civilization 7’s first gameplay showcase on August 20, following its debut at Gamescom 2024’s Opening Night Live event.
