New to Civilization VI? The Anthology bundle is for you

As a franchise, Civilization has drawn in many a gamer over the years. But with each new iteration comes new features, new ideas and new ways to gain ultimate power. When Civilization VI released on Xbox back in 2019, those opportunities were never greater as 2K delivered an experience of the highest quality. Now though that same game is available in Anthology form, and it’s quite simply the best way to play the game. 

Available to purchase and download right now from the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Anthology brings together the critically acclaimed base game – seriously, read our review to understand just how good that base experience of Civ VI is – along with all the content you could ever imagine. 

That means you get hours upon hours of game time here and as the Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Anthology suggests, if you haven’t yet picked up and played the game, there is possibly no better way of doing so. 

Priced at £64.99, the Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Anthology will give you the chance to play through the standard base game along with everything that is found in the Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack, the Khmer and Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack, the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, the Ethopia Pack and the Bzyantium & Gaul Pack. 

But that’s not all and this collection of goodness also includes the Babylon Pack, the Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack, the Portugal Pack, the Teddy Roosevelt Persona Pack and the Catherine de Medici Persona Pack. 

That’s a hell of a lot of content and should mean that Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Anthology will keep you busy for days, week, months and quite possibly years to come. 

2K also have your back if you have previously purchased Civ VI too, as the Anthology Upgrade Bundle for £44.99 ditches the base game and just delivers the DLC packs as one. 

You’ll find the Xbox Store capable of providing access to either of the Anthology options, with the game playable on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Let us know in the comments which you decide to grab.
