Civ VI would only use one controller and you had to pass it around. That’s annoying.
Question about the Switch 2 port of Civilization VII: does it support multiple controllers for local multiplayer?

“Hotseat” multiplayer isn’t in the game at all yet.

Civ games seem to have acquired a reputation for being underbaked at launch, at least I hear that from others. I only got into the game with Civ V and that a fair bit after it came out. Seems like people are holding up the vanilla new release to its predecessor with all expansions.
But yes it’s a bummer there’s no local multiplayer yet.

Is that another term for “couch co-op” or is that a term used in Civ? I’ve never heard it used this way before, but it makes sense.

I think it‘s just an old PC term for turn-based games where you play multiplayer on the same machine with the same peripherals. Basically, you play your turn, get up, let the next player take the seat in front of the monitor, they do their turn, etc… Since not everyone is playing at the same time, you can play together by playing in succession. „Hotseat“ as in passing the seat in front of the PC around like in hot potato, I guess lol
