PSA: Play Civilization V For Free On Steam Through Thursday

Later this week, Civilization: Beyond Earth arrives at retail and digital storefronts. If you’re looking to sharpen up your strategic thinking though, you can do so right now with Civilization V (our review).

If you’ve never played a Civilization title or simply haven’t played the fifth numbered installment, you can do so now for free. The game is available on Steam as a full game trial now through Thursday, October 23, at 10 a.m. Pacific.

Civilization: Beyond Earth will be out on Friday. Pre-order and pre-loading on Steam is going on now. For more on that title, check out our preview from Gamescom.
