Overview

  • In a July 31 interview, EA president Laura Miele stated that developing a standalone The Sims 5 “is not a good idea” for the community.
  • She cited the risk of forcing players to reset their progress and lose purchases accumulated across more than 85 expansion, game, and stuff packs.
  • EA will continue to support The Sims 4 with bi-monthly patches, performance optimizations, and core technology upgrades.
  • The company is building Project Rene to add online multiplayer and mobile “expressions” of the Sims universe, which it sees as a major growth opportunity.
  • Details on Project Rene’s specific features and release timeline remain sketchy, with formal announcements still pending.
