What this product is

Sid Meier's Civilization V is a turn-based strategy game for PC where players guide a civilization from ancient history to the space age. It is sold as a new physical copy that requires a Steam account for activation and installation. The game carries an ESRB E10+ rating and is suited for anyone who enjoys deep strategic planning and empire building.

The specification that decides fit

A DVD-ROM drive is required for the initial disc-based installation, and the system must provide at least 8 GB of free hard-disk space. Minimum requirements also list a dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a video card with 256 MB of memory running Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, or Windows 7. Buyers without an optical drive or with less storage should look at a digital edition instead.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This edition suits collectors and players who prefer physical media and have a compatible Windows PC with a DVD drive. It is not for buyers who want a version that installs without a disc, for Mac or Linux users, or for anyone whose computer falls below the listed minimum specifications.

Questions about this item

How does the 256 MB video requirement translate to actual gameplay performance?

The 256 MB video memory minimum lets the game render its detailed world and unit models at basic settings; a card with more memory will allow higher texture detail and smoother late-game turns.

What does the Steam activation requirement mean for installing and playing the game?

You must create or sign into a Steam account, redeem the included key, and download the game files before you can play; the disc only speeds up the initial data transfer.

Will the DVD-ROM disc work in a modern PC that lacks an optical drive?

A DVD-ROM drive is required for disc-based installation; if your system has no optical drive you must use the Steam download path after activating the key.
