Civilization: Beyond Earth Rebalances In Fall Update
Firaxis has just released a major update for Civilization: Beyond Earth that includes quite a bit of rebalancing. The patch also fixes some exploits and offers you the opportunity to keep playing “just one more turn” after defeat.
A number of units have received cost, strength, and upgrade adjustments. These impact units of all three affinities.
The update also fixes a number of bugs. This includes video resolution problems on 144Hz displays, friendly aliens blockading cities, resource collection, and various crashes.
You can check out the full patch notes here. For more on Civilization: Beyond Earth, check out our review.

Our Take
Civilization lives and dies by its balance, and it’s good to see Firaxis engaging the community to further tune the experience. Based on the extensiveness of the list, you might need to tune your strategies next time you start a game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
