[Console] Civilization VI FAQ – 2K Support

Hello, fearless world leaders.

For those of you enjoying Civilization VI on console, we've put together a list of likely questions (along with their answers) below.

How do I make a 2K Account?

You must add in information in the 2K Account fields before pressing “Create New Account,” or account creation won't continue.
To create a new account, press the button shown on the Main Menu.
From there, add in your email address and desired password, and then choose “Create New Account.”
This will take you to the 2K Account page to accept terms and finalize the account.

Can I play with a mouse and keyboard?

Keyboard and mouse support is something we’re interested in, but don’t have anything to share at this time.

How do I view Tooltips?

By default, Tooltips are set to a behavior of “Delay Show,” meaning they will display when the cursor has been unmoved for a brief period of time. This behavior can be adjusted in the Options menu under the Interface tab.
Alternative options available are “Toggle,” which allows you to press a button to toggle Tooltips on or off, and “Always Show,” which will always display Tooltips when available

When two selectable items are on the same hex, how do I switch between them (e.g., a military unit on the same hex as a city)?

There is a “Swap Units” option on the Unit Action bar when in this situation. Selecting it will change the cursor’s focus.
Alternatively, pressing Up or Down on the Directional Pad will also cycle between available focuses

How do I change my Show Grid, Show Resource Icons, Show Yield icons, and other map options?
