We’re truly honored to have seen the Civilization community grow and flourish so much these past 6 years, as we've added new leaders, civilizations, wonders, challenges and more to help you expand your empire.

We've said it before and we'll say it again, Civ fans are the best fans in gaming. Help us spread the love by voting for Civilization VI in the Labor of Love category of this year’s Steam Awards!

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI Leader Pass begins today, starting with The Great Negotiators. Each Leader Pass release contains brand new leaders decked out with inventive abilities, each designed to tease out clever new playstyles and challenge veteran CIV players in surprising ways. You’ll also see a few familiar leaders, reinvented to represent them at a different stage on their journey through history. Forget the old ways and put your safe strategies to bed—the Civilization VI Leader Pass will forever change the way you rule.

The Great Negotiators includes:

• Abraham Lincoln
  
• Nzinga Mbande
  
• Saladin

Abraham Lincoln was President for only four years, but during that time he abolished slavery, successfully waged the Civil War, and catapulted the United States into the industrial age.

Unique Leader Ability: Emancipation Proclamation

• Gives Industrial Zones extra loyalty and a free unit when built, while reducing loyalty for each plantation.

Nzinga Mbande, an important figure in Angolan history and in the early history of colonialism in Africa, struggled to establish a voice for herself (and a kingdom to rule), deftly bouncing between various kingdoms and playing the European powers off of each other all the while.

Unique Leader Ability: Queen of Matambe and Ndongo

• Grants cities on the same continent as your capital extra yields but diminishes yields of cities on your home continent.

Saladin was the name given to him by his foes, but his allies knew him as Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, a Kurdish noble who rose to command the Arabic armies of the Faithful as the first sultan of Egypt and Syria. Saladin was given a military and religious education by his father Najm ad-Din Ayyub, former warden of the fortress at Tikrit.

Unique Leader Ability: The Victorious

• Grants flanking and support bonuses to all combat and religious units.

These incoming leaders for existing civilizations are included as part of Civilization VI Anthology or available to purchase separately as part of the new Leader Pass.* Each leader will arrive with a suite of surprising new or updated abilities alongside inventive new agendas that'll change the way you play when pursuing world domination.

* Base game required to access Civilization VI: Leader Pass content. Some prior DLC required to play some content included in the Leader Pass.

We're excited to announce that on November 21 you can add Julius Caesar to the game's roster!* To do so, simply link your 2K Account to the Steam account that you use to play. You can find instructions on how to create and link a 2K Account below.

Once you've linked your 2K Account, you'll need to restart Civilization VI and enable Julius Caesar. To do so, click Additional Content on the game's main menu followed by Mods, then scroll down through your list of additional content, click on "DLC: Julius Caesar," and click on the "Enable" button.

Where Civilization VI's default Roman leader Trajan has a penchant for civilizations with lots of territory and starts with a free building in all founded cities, Caesar is a conqueror. His dislike of Barbarians in-game is a nod to the successful campaign he waged against the tribes of Gaul during his time as a general circa 57 BC.



Receive 200 Gold whenever you conquer a city for the first time or 100 Gold when you clear a Barbarian Outpost. These Gold amounts both increase to 500 after you research Steel.

How will you choose to lead as Julius Caesar? Perhaps you want to recreate history by allying with Cleopatra? Maybe you relish the prospect of going toe-to-toe with a leader like the German king Frederick Barbarossa, who became Rome's Holy Emperor a millennium and change after Caesar ruled there? Regardless of how you lead, we hope you enjoy playing as and against one of history's greatest military commanders.


Signing up for a 2K Account is easy! Simply go to 2K Account Signup and register. Once you’ve completed the sign-up, link your Steam account and boot up Civilization VI. Once in the game, log into your 2K Account.

You can also sign up for a 2K Account in-game. Simply click on the 2K Account button in the bottom right-hand corner of the main menu and then follow the instructions to register a new account.


If you already have a 2K Account, all you need to do is boot up Civilization VI and then log in to your 2K Account via the button in the bottom right-hand corner of the main menu. Once your account is linked, restart Civilization VI to add Caesar to your roster of leaders.

Hey, Civ fans!

February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada, a celebration of contributions from the African diaspora to culture, society, and history. In recognition of the month, our team is paying tribute to Civ’s Black leaders and their lasting marks on the world.

This incredible artwork from Emmy award-winning artist Teddy Wright IV captures each of our five leaders in all their greatness:



Mvemba a Nzinga: The Apostle of Kongo brought faith, wisdom, and sweeping prosperity to his growing kingdom.

Menelik II: The defender of Ethiopia modernized his empire, forging stability and identity across the African highlands.

Amanitore: The last great builder of Nubia, Queen Amanitore fortified the Land of the Bow through her extensive restoration projects.

Mansa Musa: The great king is among the richest people to ever live. Mansa Musa used his incredible wealth to transform the Mali Empire into a center for education, artistry, and commerce.

Shaka: The mighty Zulu king transformed his military into a fierce group of warriors, and his kingdom into a formidable empire.
