Check your Storage

*Note that your device needs double the storage amount to properly install the game and DLCs*

 

If you own the base game and all DLCs and Expansions on your device, you'll need at least a minimum of 18 GBs of available storage to download everything at once

 

Below you will find a breakdown of the add-ons and the space required to install:

  • Civilization VI Base Game (3.76GB): requires 7.52GB
  • All DLC Packs Only (4.86GB): requires 9.62GB

Restore Purchases (And Stay in the Menu!)

In the Get More Content menu under the In-App Purchases tab, the option to Restore Purchases can be found in the bottom left of the screen, underneath the list of In-App Purchases available. Selecting this prompts the game to recheck your downloaded content, and attempt to re-download any missing purchases.

Also important to note, when downloading, make sure to stay in the In-App Purchases menu while the download is processing! The download will not continue in the background, and will also pause while your phone is in sleep mode.

  • Open the App Store
  • Sign into your Apple ID through the icon on the top right
