Can you play Civ 7 on the Steam Deck?

Civilization 7 is playable on the Steam Deck, having been confirmed as Steam Deck Verified by the developer. This means that it’ll be easy to set up and run on the handheld and that it should, in theory, run fairly well. Of course, this can vary from game to game, and it’s always worth being cautious around launch, as there may be bugs and issues that’ll need to be patched out. We’ll have to wait and see.
