Civilization Franchise Has Shipped Over 29 Million Worldwide
2K had an impressive 2014, and though much of that can be attributed to Grand Theft Auto V, Civilization: Beyond Earth also served an important title for 2K.
Though specific sales numbers for Beyond Earth were not revealed, 2K says that it has shipped more than 29 million copies of games in the Civilization franchise. Up next for Sid Meier is Starships, coming to PC and iPad spring of this year. That title will feature some cross-connectivity with Beyond Earth.

Our Take
Only a few years ago the strategy genre seemed to be waning, but 2K is showing a lot of faith in Sid Meier and his strategy titles.
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.
