As The Sims approaches its 25th anniversary on February 4, 2025, the franchise continues to influence gaming culture. The re-releases of The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 for Windows 10 and 11 mark a significant moment for both old fans and newcomers. Lyndsay Pearson, VP of Franchise Creative, reflects on the nostalgia and differing gameplay in early iterations that can surprise new players. The Sims remains a landmark series, crossing demographics and leaving a lasting legacy in the gaming industry, influencing a wide range of players over the years.
"We definitely know that there's a big love for those products, and I think reintroducing them would be quite a kick because players who've never played those early generations of The Sims would actually be surprised by how different they are in a lot of ways."
"The Sims has left a significant impact on not just PC gaming, but the video game industry as a whole, celebrating a legacy that resonates with gamers of all ages, genders, and skill levels."
