, the iPad port of Civ VI was more or less the full-fat PC version with new touch controls implemented. There was a slight downgrade in visuals, a lack of online multiplayer, and the AI could take a bit longer to make its moves compared to the PC, but by and large this was the real deal Civ VI in the palm of your hands.

Phew! All that lead-up is to announce that, in celebration of the Leader Pass being revealed, Aspyr is going to hold a pretty sweet freebie promotion for a bunch of the DLC in Civilization VI. Fans who have been following the game since the beginning may recall them doing similar staggered freebie promotions around the holidays in the past. Starting today and into tomorrow, fans can download the following packs for free:

– Poland Civilization & Scenario Pack (Normally $4.99)
– Vikings Scenario Pack (Normally $4.99)
– Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack (Normally $4.99)

Then as the weekend arrives, over Saturday and Sunday fans will be able to grab these packs for free:

– Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack (Normally $8.99)
– Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack (Normally $4.99)
– Khmer and Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack (Normally $8.99)


In addition to these freebies, there are some heavy discounts on the other major expansion packs in the game. From now until December 1st players will be able to get 50% off of Rise and Fall (normally $29.99), Gathering Storm (normally $39.99), and the New Frontier Pass (normally $29.99). All of this together represents hundreds if not thousands of hours worth of gameplay, so if you’ve been sleeping on getting the iOS version of Civilization VI for whatever reason now is not a bad time to rectify that. The game is free to download and try, with the full game unlock available for $9.99 and of course the various scenario pack freebies and expansion pack discounts listed above.
