Civilization 6 gets cross-platform cloud saves for PC and Switch But... News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 3 Apr 2019 18 comments In the middle of a tense Civ 6 barbarian battle but really need the loo? Well, now you can take your game with you, as 2K has implemented a cross-platform cloud system allowing players to transfer their saves between Switch and Steam. This essentially means players can instantly close down a game on one device, boot up the other, and continue playing the same game. To do this you'll simply need to link your 2K account and select "multi-platform cloud save" in the in-game options. Civilization VI now supports cross-platform cloud saves on Steam and #NintendoSwitch. Link your @2K Account, tick the multi-platform cloud save box in options, and you're good to go!

Vanilla only saves for now, I guess. Meanwhile, PC players who do have the newest expansion pack can now download Gathering Storm's first major update. The patch notes detail a huge range of balance changes, along with fixes such as solving road and railroad "spaghetti", and "add[ing] beards to all remaining leaders that did not previously have beards". OK, that last one might be a lingering April Fool's joke, but I'd still like to see it.
