Civilization 7 Launches with Day One Patch Addressing Gameplay, AI, and Crossplay Issues

Firaxis Games releases an initial patch to resolve early feedback, temporarily disabling PC-console crossplay and improving various mechanics.

The day one patch for Civilization 7 introduces significant updates to gameplay, AI behavior, and user interface improvements based on early access feedback.
Crossplay between PC and consoles is temporarily disabled due to the patch being rolled out first on PC platforms, with console updates expected later.
Key gameplay changes include adjustments to City States during Age Transitions, improved Naval Combat mechanics, and updates to Rail Network reliability for settlements over water.
AI behavior has been refined to reduce the frequency of war declarations in the Modern Age and to better account for ideological differences in diplomatic decisions.
Additional fixes address camera issues, settlement menu accessibility, and various UI alignment and text display bugs for a smoother player experience.
