After EA and Maxis announced the news last month, The Sims 4 is now officially free-to-play for everyone.
As of October 18, The Sims 4 is now permanently free-to-play through all available platforms including PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
This means that all users who haven’t yet purchased the game on their desired platform can grab the game without any cost. However, this only applies to the base game which would have originally roughly cost around £40. Content expansion packs and other various game packs will still cost money.
For players who already own the base game, EA and Maxis offered up the game’s latest Desert Luxe downloadable content (DLC) for free up until October 17.
“With The Sims 4 going free to play, 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,” said the developer in a shared at the time of the announcement.
