Civilization 6 Cheats

Reveal Map Cheat

Here’s the first possible Civilization 6 “Reveal Map” Cheat that last worked in Civilization 5.

How to reveal the entire map: Go to your computer username’s My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\ folder and edit the config.ini file to change “DebugPanel = 0” to “DebugPanel = 1”. Then hit the ~ (that symbol is a tilde) key while in-game to bring up the command console and select Reveal All.

In Civilization VI, until you explore the world, the map is hidden in the “fog of war.” The fog of war is represented by the blank parchment that covers much of the world at the start of the game. As you move units around, the fog of war will pull back, revealing more of the world. Once you have uncovered the fog of war from a tile, it does not come back.

This cheat is untested. Please comment if you’ve discovered any new cheats.
