Age of Empires 4 is available globally now on Xbox consoles and PC. The game is also available through Game Pass. The game was initially released for PC in late 2021. Here's what we wrote about the RTS in our launch review:
"Age of Empires IV is, in almost every way, a true sequel to Age of Empires II", we wrote. "It plays great and has a few new features that add more tactical elements to combat and how you develop your faction. On factions, it truly allows them to differentiate themselves from each other. There are slight issues, such as the population cap that feels very restrictive and the lower-quality of unit models, but these are minor in what is an otherwise outstanding game, and one where an undeniable amount of effort and work has gone into - which includes hours of documentary-style clips to support the campaign."
