Civ VI now on Android

[Chefofrats]

Here is a list of supported devices.

How accurate is that list? The 2019 OnePlus 7 pro is on it, but the current OnePlus 8 pro is not? I also do not see my Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro which is easily powerful enough to run the game.

Not sure. I just found it via Twitter.

It´s not bad that they are available. It´s that you pay the full price for every iteration. I consider I´ve already bought "Civ 6" and the different technical implementations should only be a marginal extra cost.

Firaxis are of course free to choose their pricing model (so somebody doesn´t have to make a whole post about that) but I don´t consider it value for money in its current state.

I can get behind that. I'm very unlikely to buy a second copy of Civ VI. It would be a massive hook for me if I could play the game for free or a slight upgrade cost on different platforms. I have it on PC but rarely play it because I won't pay for the XPs again.

I actually tried the 60 turn demo with my phone and it ran surprisingly well - of course I usually play huge maps with max players on PC so there's no real comparison and you won't even notice any lag as early as T60. If they offered a price tag in the range of ~5€ for people who already own the game on another platform, I might even buy it. Like CDPR gave discounts to "loyal fans" (owning the previous iterations). But 23€ for a very basic version, are you serious?

Can you jump from one platform to another mid-game?

Maybe if you pay 2K 2K? More seriously, seeing as there is a lack of functional cross-platform play, I highly doubt it.

So now I am going to rule the world even on WC
Quick info I could check:
It is not compatible with Samsung Galaxy S9+, but it's ok for Samsung Galaxy S20+

I see what you did there! Made my face flush! Rename your religion to Porcelain God!

I'm certainly not going to pay to get R&F or GS, never mind any DLC but £20 to be able to take it anywhere I go may prove too tempting. The 60 turns of demo worked well enough for my liking, although it will be interesting to see how well it runs on a larger map later in the game.
RIP my battery life.

Just as an update - it runs really well on Samsung Galaxy S9+

Does it? I'm trying to play it on my Galaxy S9+ as well and I get graphic corruption and crashes every single time I play, plus the performance is pretty choppy.

Interesting! It wasn't installable at all for me until I got the latest OTA update, but really flawless since then. I've been really surprised honestly - quick turn speeds, and no crashes (just about to finish my first game). My biggest gripe is the game load time - takes about 3-4 minutes so I have to walk away and do something else first.
