News: The leader pass is now available for console players to want to spend more time with Civilization VI.

2K has revealed that Civilization VI: Leader Pass is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Leader Pass is a season pass that holds 18 new playable leader selections for Civilization VI. Initially Leader Pass was not intended for consoles but the community made it clear that they wanted it, so 2K went to work on making it happen.

Available either as part of the Civilization VI: Anthology bundle or for separate purchase as part of Civilization VI: Leader Pass, new leaders coming to console include:

New Leaders

Abraham Lincoln (United States)

Elizabeth I (England)

King Sundiata Keita (Mali)

Ludwig II (Germany)

Nader Shah (Persia)

Nzinga Mbande (Kongo)

Ramses (Egypt)

Ptolemaic Cleopatra (Egypt)

Qin Shi Huang the Unifier (China)

Suleiman the Magnificent (Ottoman Empire)

Sultan Saladin (Arabia)

Players who purchase Civilization VI: Anthology or Civilization VI plus the Civilization VI: Anthology upgrade (or purchase all of the content that's included in Civilization VI: Anthology separately at any time) are eligible to receive the Leader Pass for no additional charge. Console players who link their 2K Account to the account of the same platform used to play can also now unlock Julius Caesar.

In celebration of today's release, a new update has been issued for Civilization VI across all platforms, bringing numerous adjustments and fixes including buffs to Julius Caesar and additional leaders.
