  Didn't expect Civ to ever be free!

    Epic is great like that. Other thing to consider is, this game is now 9 years old!

    I've already got this in my Epic catalogue so suspect it's been free before in some capacity (maybe not the Platinum Edition?).

      Actually, upon checking, me too! I have this one:

    This regularly goes on sale at like 90%-95% off on Steam, so it's basically free.

      Steam one is infinitely more expensive

      Say what you want about Epic, but I have a hefty Epic game collection now and have never loaded my credit card.

      Meanwhile my credit card is saved on Steam.

      And Playnite compiles all the platforms for me.

        Can't argue with that :-)

        Cool stuff my guy. I also have a very large collection on Epic from free games, I was simply pointing out that this game is virtually free on Steam with it's regular sales because the person I replied to said they didn't expect Civ to ever be free, and most people prefer to keep their games on a preferred launcher/platform when possible. $5 to own it on Steam if you prefer steam is hardly breaking the bank

          @chunder: I agree with your point, however it'd cost a lot more on steam to get all the DLC too that this free version on Epic comes with.

    This will be because you have already claimed the base version previously which seems to be causing problems according to comments. Hopefully Epic fix this soon.

    A couple of solutions from OzB:

    1. Update the Epic Launcher

    2. Ask Epic support to remove the previous base game from your account

      It worked fine for me even though I already had the base version, it just popped up a box saying something along the lines of you already have a game containing some of this content do you want to continue. I clicked Yes and finished the checkout maybe they have fixed something now

        It worked on my laptop, previously tried with my phone. Maybe it was that, or maybe they fixed it. Thanks!!

  I clicked through okay - maybe try again now if you were having trouble?

  Better and cheaper than CIV 7…

    So I've heard. I won't be after that for a while I suspect (unless it was a spectacular deal perhaps).
