Civilization 6's New Frontier Pass is a way for players to continue to enjoy Firaxis Games' acclaimed turn-based strategy title, adding a bevy of new civilizations, leaders, and game modes. This new content will be delivered on a bimonthly basis until March 2021, and many players are now enjoying the first part of Civ 6's New Frontier Pass, the Maya and Gran Colombia Pack. That is not the case for Mac and Linux users, though, as indeed the DLC has launched without support for these platforms.
This has left some players quite irritated, as the Civilization 6 New Frontier Pass press release did suggest that the DLC would launch with Mac and Linux support alongside PC. This led some fans with these platforms to purchase the Civ 6 New Frontier Pass at launch only to discover that the DLC is not operable on their systems, and these players may now be wondering when the situation will be rectified.
Unfortunately, there has been no official confirmation on exactly when the Civilization 6 Frontier Pass for Mac and Linux will be available. That said, Aspyr Media, the company that is responsible for porting Civ 6 to Mac and Linux, has indicated that it is "working quickly to bring Civilization 6 - New Frontier Pass content to Mac and Linux," but it has not set a definitive release date at this time.
With respect to when such a date might come from Aspyr Media, all that the company has said so far is that it will "share more soon." This may not be quite what fans looking to experience the Civilization 6 New Frontier Pass on Mac or Linux were hoping to hear, but at least there is now some direct acknowledgement of the situation from the developers responsible for the ports.
As Mac and Linux players wait for more information on the Civ 6 Frontier Pass, a whole new wave of players are currently trying out the title thanks to an ongoing Epic Games Store promotion. Indeed, this promo is letting fans download Civilization 6 for free until May 28, and it is understood that Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will become available at not cost after that.
Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
