One of the most baffling examples of the form, however, is the 2K launcher. Rarely glimpsed (because it's only mandated for about seven games) the 2K launcher does basically nothing apart from force you to click a second button when you launch some (not all) 2K published games on Steam. It also occasionally causes performance problems for those games, such as slowing down superhero shenanigans in Marvel's Midnight Suns...

Do you find having to have nine million different launchers installed on your PC all at once to be something that keeps you up at night? Well, if so, good news, because Firaxis has confirmed that Civilization 7 is ditching the 2K launcher as a requirement on PC, with Civ 6 having also just dropped it too, assuming you bought your copy on Steam. While I’d argue that 2K’s launcher isn’t the worst, even if that's a very low bar, having to log into extra things in order to play a game that you’re not even trying to play via the service or storefront in question is always an annoyance, so it’s no surprise that this move has gone down to a chorus of cheers and relieved sighs. “Alongside Challenge 10 going live on August 14, the new update also removes the 2K Launcher from Sid Meier's Civilization VI on Steam,” Firaxis confirmed in its Steam announcement of Civ 6’s latest event, “In addition, Sid Meier's Civilization VII will not use the 2K Launcher on PC.” Read more Civ VI Monthly Challenge: Rotating ReduxesAug 14, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsA NOTE ABOUT THE 2K LAUNCHER AND CIVILIZATION VI ON STEAM Alongside Challenge 10 going live on August 14, the new update also removes the 2K Launcher from Sid Meier's Civilization VI on Steam. In addition, Sid Meier's Civilization VII will not use the 2K Launcher on PC. --- The new monthly challenge for Sid Meier's Civilization VI starts August 14! But this month, you're not getting just one event to take on: we're bringing back four fan favorites as week-long challenges with altered parameters! All four challenges can be played at Prince difficulty, or—if you reckon you're a certified Civ expert—the highest difficulty level of Deity. The limited-time monthly challenges afford you an opportunity to test your skills as a specific leader in a unique scenario. The first time you successfully complete each challenge, you'll earn yourself a new in-game Hall of Fame Badge commemorating your impressive achievement. For PC players who already earned the Hall of Fame Badge for the original versions of these events, you can score a new Badge for your collection by completing the Redux version on Deity difficulty! To play the current monthly challenge, go to the main menu in-game and click on the "Challenge of the Month" image in the rotating marquee. Note that if you don't own any of the DLC featured in the current challenge, you will be granted free trial access to it for use in the challenge so you won't miss out! Read on for a breakdown of this month's four week-long challenges, and good luck out there! CHALLENGE 10 PART 1: SEVEN SEAS REDUX Duration: August 14 - August 21 The continents have been consumed by oceans. Civilizations persist, scattered across the mountainous islands that remain, but for some it will prove nigh impossible to thrive in this unfamiliar environment. Playing as the Norwegian leader Harald Hardrada, you find yourself at an advantage. You've already explored most of the ocean, your Viking Longships are unrivaled in naval combat, and you have the unique ability to pillage your enemies' coastal tiles. During the Seven Seas challenge, played in Heroes & Legends mode, the victory condition you pursue is entirely up to you. That sea air sure smells like Domination, though! For some general guidance related to this challenge, check out these Norway Overview and Heroes & Legends Details video guides! Redux Parameters Permanent Dark Age No Cavalry Barbarian Camps Naval Barbarian Camps spawn units twice as fast Hero Discovery Rate x2 for all AI leaders Water tiles deal 10 damage to all units CHALLENGE 10 PART 2: ROBOT REVOLUTION REDUX Duration: August 21 - August 28 Do you have what it takes to ensure your civilization's survival for 100 turns in a frozen, post-nuclear future? This is your chance to prove it. Oh, and did we mention the robots? Resources are sparse, disasters are intense, and Giant Death Robots are a constant threat. Your memory of life before the robot takeover is fading, but parts of the world are still known to you.
