Linux hasn’t had a serious dearth of strategy games, with Paradox bringing over a few of its titles at the launch of Steam for Linux, but as far as the genre goes, Firaxis’ titles could be considered to be the cream of the crop. For those who might not be aware, SteamOS is based on Linux, and as such, whenever you see a game support SteamOS, it’s Linux support, plain and simple. Over at Steam today, Civilization V graces the top of the site with the words, “Now Available on SteamOS”. Just last month, CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was also brought to Linux, and we found out just this week that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, will also be hitting the platform at initial launch.Īlright – it seems I’m getting so excited here that I’m failing to get right to the point of this post.Īs we can now see, Beyond Earth was actually not to be Firaxis’ first Civilization on Linux. Adding to that excitement is the simple fact that Firaxis is just the latest of large game developers starting to pay attention to the OS. For the first time ever (as far as I’m aware), Firaxis would be bringing a Civilization title to Linux. Perhaps no group of fans were found to be quite as excited as those who support the Linux OS, though. The game was released on Microsoft Windows on September 21, 2010, 1 on OS X on November 23, 2010, and on Linux on June 10, 2014.

When Beyond Earth was announced in April, that was no exception as a spiritual successor to Alpha Centauri, the game has a lot of potential, and a lot to live up to. Sid Meier's Civilization V is a 4X video game in the Civilization series developed by Firaxis Games. Fans of Firaxis’ Civilization series tend to be passionate, so whenever a new title gets announced, you can almost hear the inner-excitement from fans the world over.
