EA and Maxis have announced that from next month, The Sims 4 will be going free-to-play across all platforms, with the developer to continue releasing packs, Kits, and Sims Delivery Express drops “into the foreseeable future”.

Anyone who has purchased or purchases The Sims 4 base game by 17th October (the day before the game goes free-to-play), will receive the Desert Luxe Kit as a gift, adding “luxurious” indoor and outdoor furniture inspired by the Southwestern desert landscape, and natural materials including stone and wood.

 You'll able to find out more about The Sims 4 going free-to-play during a 'special-edition' stream called ‘Behind The Sims Summit’ (on YouTube and Twitch), when the base game goes free-to-play for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on 18th October.

  • I wonder what microtransactions they will be adding. Pay to have your child age? Or pay to get a better paying job?
  • @vikibone:
    Why so cynical? Same as now, DLC packs as in-game store expansions and lots of customisation options.
    Actually one of the better examples of games that do work perfectly as a "service".
