Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall System Requirements FAQ

You might be able to play on the lowest settings if your PC meets the minimum requirements (Intel Core i3 2.5 GHz or AMD Phenom II 2.6 GHz, 1GB DirectX 11 Graphics Card, 4 GB RAM). However, expect performance issues, especially in late-game scenarios with many units and cities.

At least 4 GB of RAM is required to run the game, but 8 GB is recommended for optimal performance and to avoid potential stuttering, especially in later stages of the game.
Will Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall run on integrated graphics?▼
While it *might* launch, running Rise and Fall on integrated graphics is not recommended. The game is graphically demanding, and integrated graphics solutions typically don't meet the minimum GPU requirements, leading to very poor performance and potential crashes.
What is the best graphics settings for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall?▼
This depends on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset and adjust from there. If you experience lag, lower settings like 'Anti-Aliasing,' 'Texture Quality,' and 'Shadow Quality.' Experiment to find a balance between visual fidelity and performance.
