Aspyr Media will announce this all today to confirm I am correct. To settle any doubt, I previously confirmed that it really was coming. Update: Aspyr Media tweeted to confirm this.
For the multiplayer side, Aspyr Media have confirmed that the Linux version will be compatible with the Mac version. Neither will currently be compatible with Windows, I will have more about that in my interview with them which will be published after the release.
Due to the delay, they will also be releasing the Linux version along with a discount on all versions of the game.
We will have a livestream on the day of release, so prepare your eyes for a treat of my attempts to take over the world — badly. Keep an eye on our Twitch channel for notifications: https://www.twitch.tv/gamingonlinux
I will attempt to make this livestream last an entire game, or until I really do have to do something else.
Required specifications
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 / SteamOS
CPU: Intel Core i3 530 or AMD A8-3870
CPU Speed: 2.93 GHz
RAM: 6 GB
Hard Disk Space: 15 GB
GPU (NVIDIA): GeForce 650 (AMD and Intel GPUs are not currently supported)
VRAM: 1 GB
About the game
Civilization VI offers new ways to engage with your world: cities now physically expand across the map, active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, and competing leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race for one of five ways to achieve victory in the game.
We shall have our review up at release. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: rea987That's incorrect. It will count as a Windows sale because it's a Windows key. Steam keys are OS specific.Quoting: jordicomaI have probably a "classic question". If I buy the boxed version and install with the steam code on linux. My money will go for the linux or windows version?Your payment will most probably go to the original developer and the publisher since retail versions were already "sold" by the publisher before the Linux version was shipped. But your OS would count as Linux.

On french Civilisation V boxes, Linux is clearly on the box... I don't know if it is counted for Linux sales...

Why isn't Mesa supported? Did they specify what is missing there, that they can't announce official support? Just would be interesting to know.
UDPATE: I just saw their comment:
Did they file Mesa bugs?

I honestly don't get why this game needs so much graphics power. Tried it on my laptop under Windows, benchmark gets about 20FPS on lowest settings. It really doesn't look that great either. What's the deal with Firaxis games and bad performance?

Is it impossibile to work out this issues? What are the exact "issues"? Why are other companies and games able to support this? (*head shaking*)

I have bought the retail version of this game, but didn't activate the key yet.
Will this count as a "Linux buy" once I activate it on Feb 9th?

Which ones? Feral had (has?) its share of problems with AMD support as well...

Please don't split the gaming community Aspyr! It's already sad Feral couldn't fix their cross-platform multiplayer.
What is the reason to buy a Multiplayer game if you can't find people to play with since the Linux and Mac community is rather small? Also if I can't play with my friends I don't see any reason to buy your game. Sorry.

Honestly, the probably biggest application of Civ multiplayer is LAN, and chances are that computers in the same use the same OS, no?
