There’s been a lot of excitement in the Mac community over the release of Civilization 5 on Steam. The game was released for PC users on Steam on 21st September but there’s still no sign of a Mac version at the moment. Firaxis – the developers of Civilization 5 – have made no official statement but back in April, they unofficially confirmed to TUAW that a release will eventually be made on Mac. TUAW reports in an off the record conversion with a Firaxis representative:

The rep was noncommittal, as you might expect, but he did say that every single previous version of Civilization has eventually come to the Mac, and that Civ V would probably not be an exception.

It’s a bit annoying that neither Steam or Firaxis haven’t issued any official news on the Mac release but for now, Mac Civ 5 fans will just have to keep their fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, the PC release was celebrated at Firaxis HQ in the State of Maryland by declaring September 21, 2010 officially as “Sid Meier’s Civilization V Day“. However, many PC users have had their celebrations cut short by technical glitches with the game. Due to the many different configurations and makeups of PCs, it hasn’t run as well it should have for some gamers. If you’ve been hit by technical problems and bugs with Civilization 5, check out some of the advice here on the World Gaming Network and G4tv.
