Civilization 6's new Leader Pass adds 18 head-of-states from various regions. 12 of the leaders are all-new faces and six of them are different versions of existing in-game leaders. They will be added in six individual DLCs releasing from November 2022 through March 2023. The first pack, launching on November 21, is called Great Negotiators and features Abraham Lincoln, Queen Mbande Nzinga, and Sultan Saladin.

The pass will only be distributed to PC via Steam and Epic, MacOS, and iOS. The current press release does not mention whether the new Leader Pass will be on consoles.

For PC players, if they've purchased Civilization VI Anthology, the new Leader Pass is available for free. For iOS and macOS players, the Leader Pass must be purchased individually. Some packs will also require prior DLCs. For example, the Great Commanders' pack, which features Nader Shah (Persia), requires the Persia & Macedon Scenario pack.
