Did someone say “Just one more turn?”

The latest giveaway on the Epic Games Store is a doozy:Civilization VI, for free, for keepsies. I’m pretty sure some countries consider handing out free Civ to be an act of economic terrorism, for encouraging innumerable late nights and sick days in people who couldn’t resist the siren call of just one more turn. The turn-based strategy game may be almost four years old but it still has a £50 price tag so damn, okay Epic. This right afterGTA 5too.

That is the base game, mind, without the expansions that really do a lot to improve it. If you want those, for £34 you can upgrade to the Platinum Edition with both the Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall expansions and the six old Civilization & Scenario Pack DLCs.

And no, this doesn’t include the brand new £33 DLC season pass which launched today,the New Frontier Pass.

I was a little sceptical when Epic started acting like they had such great weekly freebies coming duringtheir ongoing Mega Salebut Grand Theft Auto V was a strong start and Civ 6 is a great follow-up. The GTA giveaway was so popular that itkilled GTA Online’s servers last weekend.
