We've just updated the Steam page for Sid Meier's Civilization® VII with minimum and recommended specs for Mac & Linux!

I would totally ignore these specs for the moment. It’s not telling much.
System specs are meaningless without knowing what the terms refer to; the context is missing. Like what resolution and fps we are talking about here? What level of settings (graphics and such) are used for “minimum” or “recommended”? The problem why the devs do not a “proper” specs sheet is, because they could be liable for it. I mean the more detailed the list is, the more people get angry if it does not work as expected on their machine. Also nowadays we have handheld PCs like the Steam Deck, which is pretty standardized hardware. They could provide detailed information how well it runs on a device like this or if its not playable / supported.
@thingsiplay@JRepin They eventually will for the Steam Deck, but not until game is released. Maybe not the devs providing it, but for a major release like Civ IIV you know Valve will take active steps to do what they can.
Also, I learned years ago to take system requirements on unreleased games with a huge grain of salt. Developers have every incentive to lie about the actual requirements both higher and lower.
