EA will shut down The Sims Mobile in January

"is going away as EA will shut it down on January 20, nearly eight years after its debut in March 2018. An update that went live on Monday is the final one and the company is delisting the game on October 21. Since the game requires online servers (game progress is stored there), it'll no longer be possible to play The Sims Mobile in three months' time."

"" The Sims Mobile and The Sims community as a whole are full of creativity, kindness, and imagination," EA said in a blog post. "You've amazed us with your stories, builds, and Sims. We're proud to have shared this journey with you, and as a token of our appreciation, we've prepared a few surprises as we head into TSM 's final chapter.""

EA will shut down The Sims Mobile on January 20, ending nearly eight years of service since its March 2018 debut. The game will be delisted from app stores on October 21 and in-app purchases have been disabled. Game progress is stored on online servers, so the title will be unplayable after the shutdown. Over the next months EA will run 14 limited-time events, grant unlimited energy, allow use of existing in-game currency, and unlock Build Mode and Create A Sim items on January 6 for free customization. The closure shifts mobile Sims efforts toward Project Rene and raises concerns about paid content and preservation.
