The Sims 5 will be Free-To-Download

EA have confirmed that The Sims 4 will continue to be supported on all platforms after the release of The Sims 5.

However while EA refers to The Sims 4 as Free-To-Play they say The Sims 5 will be *Free-To-Download”.

Now I could be reading too much into the subtle change in the wording but it seems odd they don’t refer to the new game as Free-To-Play suggesting that while the game will be available for anyone to download you might not be able to play anything beyond creating a character/family without paying something.

The Sims 5 will receive regular content updates like The Sims 4 however the number of and cost of the DLC for Sims 4 is quite high.

The base game is free but if you want to have the “complete experience” on PlayStation 4 it will cost £1,151.30 to buy all of the DLC available. That’s an obscene amount of money for a game.

Launch platforms for The Sims 5 haven’t been announced yet however it is very likely to come to the PlayStation 5.

Why do you think it comes to the ps5? Was there a mainline sims on playstation before? I don’t think so. Were there rumors about that?

Always remember kids,when the product is free, you’re the product. Especially with greedy money hungry companies like this

That’s how they get you with the $200 price tag on all the features they locked behind paywalls

That’s not really something new with sims, was always like that with sims. Curious if it’s get worse or if they want to benefit from the bigger playerbase
