Epic Games Store Gives Away Civilization VI Platinum Edition Free
Massive Strategy Bundle Available for Limited Time
PC gamers have a significant opportunity this week as the Epic Games Store is offering the acclaimed strategy title Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition at no cost. This generous giveaway includes the base game along with its most substantial expansions.
Platinum Edition Unveiled
As of July 17, 2025, players can claim Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition. The offer is valid until July 24 at 5:00 PM, after which Legion TD 2 will become the next free title.

Generous Content Included
The Platinum Edition is a comprehensive package, featuring the base game, the “Rise and Fall” expansion, and the “Gathering Storm” expansion. Additionally, it bundles six smaller DLC packs that introduce new civilizations and scenarios, offering a nearly complete gameplay experience. Notably, this version notably contains more content than the recently released Civilization VII at present.
Community Reaction and Past Giveaways
This giveaway follows a recent trend of free game distributions. However, the article notes a past event where the free offering of Borderlands 2 for PC was met with community suspicion. Some players perceived it as a tactic following controversy surrounding Take-Two’s End User License Agreement, which caused a wave of negative reviews. Civilization VI itself, released in 2016, has garnered over 357,000 reviews on Steam, with an 85% positive rating, a sentiment largely maintained despite a recent review bombing incident.
The Epic Games Store has also recently offered Figment 2: Creed Valley and Sky Rocket for free, with that promotion ending today at 5:00 PM.

The success of Civilization VI on Steam is notable; as of October 2023, it had sold over 15 million units globally, showcasing its enduring popularity across the years (GamesIndustry.biz 2023).
Players are encouraged to act quickly to secure their copy of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition before the offer concludes next week.
