A game mode is a setup option that adds a twist to the standard Civilization VI experience. Game modes alter the base game's ruleset and may include additional units, buildings, and improvements. All game modes are compatible with each other; players may choose to activate multiple modes when starting a game. Each New Frontier Pass DLC introduces a new game mode, and additional game modes have been released in free community updates.
These game modes are:
Apocalypse, included in the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, adding a new level of intensity to existing Disasters, a new unit that interacts with Disasters, a new scored competition, and the eponymous Apocalypse climate phase.
Secret Societies, included in the Ethiopia Pack, adding four different "secret societies" that players can join, each comes with new units, buildings, tile improvements, projects or resources.
Tech and Civic Shuffle, included in the August 2020 Update, enhancing the replayability of the game by randomizing the tech and civic tree.
Dramatic Ages, included in the Byzantium & Gaul Pack, expanding upon the existing Age and Era mechanics and introducing many new Dark Age and Golden Age policy cards.- Heroes & Legends, included in the Babylon Pack, introducing 12 new Heroes that players can compete for and recruit, each with unique and game changing abilities.
- Monopolies and Corporations, included in the Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack, expanding upon the economic mechanics by allowing players to establish Industries, Corporations and Monopolies through taking control of resources.
- Barbarian Clans, included in the February 2021 Update, adding new layers of complexity to Barbarians and introducing new ways players can interact with these units.
- Zombie Defense, included in the Portugal Pack, turning the game into a survival mode against endless hordes of Zombies, which can keep rising up from the dead whenever a unit is killed on the map.
