In case you haven’t heard, Civilization VI has taken the world by storm. Countless employees have taken days off of work to begin conquering the globe, and thanks to a host of new changes, players new and old have found a reason to go back to one of the most successful PC franchises of all time. However, with the strategy title only out for a week and change at this point, many couldn’t have predicted this level of rapid success. According to the numbers over at Steam Spy, which do a pretty accurate job of gauging how many copies of a given title are active on Steam, Civilization VI is about to eclipse 1,000,000 copies owned on Steam.
Steam Spy’s official count is currently sitting at 921,901, making it a matter of days before it crosses the one million threshold. Bear in mind that this doesn’t take into account whether or not a copy was purchased, let alone what price it was obtained for. Of course, without access to official developer/Valve numbers, there’s no telling the variance that could play into Civilization VI’s actual sales numbers compared to this figure.
