Say goodbye to our social lives, starting next month, the base ‘Sims 4’ game on all platforms will be free to download and play. It also announced an upcoming livestream in which Maxis Studios will lay out its plans for the game’s future updates.
The Sims 4 is the latest entry in the long-running and incredibly popular life simulation franchise. Like past games in the series, it lets players create their own characters and homes, then watch these digital people live out full lives and help them get jobs, find friendship, or even trap them all in pools to slowly die.
The Sims 4 will be free-to-play permanently on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. If you’ve already bought the game, you’ll be able to claim the newly released Desert Luxe Kit as a free gift, which includes themed furniture inspired by the Southwestern desert landscape.
“Our team is more dedicated than ever to developing new and meaningful The Sims 4 experiences for our players and we will continue to develop and release packs, kits and Sims Delivery Express drops into the foreseeable future.” EA play mentioned in a blog post.
“We’re excited to continue to welcome in more players than ever to create new stories, and explore without boundaries. The Sims has always been about celebrating new ways to play and offers so many possibilities to discover.” They added.
The Sims 4 will be free to play from October 18.
