Firaxis tweaks Civilization 7 after fan backlash

Following a disappointing launch, Civilization 7's developers at Firaxis Games have committed to refining the experience. Recognizing player concerns, the team is focusing on interface usability and core gameplay enhancements as top priorities.

Currently holding just 47% positive ratings on Steam, criticism primarily targets the oversimplified UI, missing features, and content gaps rather than core mechanics. Firaxis has outlined immediate plans to improve map readability, streamline menus, and enhance overall interface accessibility.

Confirmed upcoming additions include:

  • Multiplayer team creation functionality
  • Expanded map varieties
  • Customization options for religion and city naming

The development roadmap confirms Update 1.1.0 arriving in March with balance adjustments and quality-of-life improvements. Civilization 7's complete release remains scheduled for February 11 despite these ongoing refinements.

Numerous reviews suggest the launch was premature, with the $70 price point drawing particular scrutiny given the current state. Series veterans remain hopeful that subsequent updates will elevate the game to match the franchise's legacy of polished, feature-rich strategy experiences.

Longtime Civilization enthusiasts express cautious optimism that Firaxis will incorporate community feedback to restore the depth and meticulous detail the series is known for - qualities many feel are currently lacking in this initial version.
