Thanks for the tl;dw.
You should not buy this on Switch. I owned Civ 6 on Switch, and once the game reached a certain state of play near the end, the game just gradually became slower and slower until it would hang completely, every time, in the same place. This happened to me in two different campaigns before I gave up.
I reached out to their customer support and included tons of context, but they basically just stopped responding because there was nothing they could do; the game is just too hungry to run properly on Switch except for small, quick games, and those game styles just don't feel like Civ to me.
I bought all the DLC before this happened. Lesson learned.
Not only that but it's literally the only version of the game not to support hot seat multiplayer. When the switch is literally perfect to just pass around for the next person's turn. I bought it for that reason assuming it'd have it but nope. Was mad. In fact; Am mad.
The switch port is made by Aspyr who is notorious for bad customer service, bad ports and abandoning ports so this is no surprise. Hopefully Civ 7 isn’t ported by them…

I'm hoping the eventual Switch successor helps with that. I stayed up all night playing when I first got it and have barely touched it since.
So far as small, "quick" games go, I'm a bit bummed that they abandoned the Civ Revolution format. The PS3/360 version was solid if flawed, and felt smooth enough even at endgame. The mobile and DS versions, however, were a Jenga tower of jank. It's like if you asked an LLM to write a Civ game and the only parameter was "ugh."
I'm excited that they're launching on so many platforms simultaneously. They really are listening to the people that love their games.
Will this one support online multiplayer?
No info about it yet that I can see.
