The Next Sims Game: Free-to-Play and Downloadable Without Subscription – Electronic Arts Confirms

The next The Sims game will be free-to-play. Electronic Arts confirms this. The game can then be downloaded for free and does not require a paid subscription. The company also says that The Sims 4 will remain available after the release of part five.

Electronic Arts confirms in a blog post that the next The Sims game, now codenamed Project Rene, will be free to play. When the game is released, it will be free to download and playable without a subscription or ‘energy mechanics’, the game maker writes. The latter is applied to smartphone games, where a game is initially free, but users have to pay over time to continue playing. The next Sims game won’t get that.

The upcoming game will have paid content and packs, EA confirms. The company shares some examples of this. “For example, basic weather could be added to the game for free, for everyone. In the future, a paid pack could be released that focuses on winter sports activities such as figure skating or snowman competitions.”

According to EA, the game will be ‘a new way to play The Sims’, although the game will retain the feel of the original games. The game is in early development, the company says. The Sims 4 will also remain available after the release of the next Sims game. That game has been free-to-play since last year. EA plans to release new content for The Sims 4 in the future.
