People are losing it after EA Games makes The Sims 4 free again

Just me? Ok..

“Beginning on October 18, 2022, The Sims 4 base game will be available to all new players to download for free on PC via EA app or Origin™, Mac® via Origin, Steam®, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems.”

EA revealed that they had made the simulation game free as a ‘thank you’ to their loyal fans.

And it’s safe to say that fans were extremely appreciative of the freebie as one person tweeted: “Best day of my life.”

Another said: “Wow. Did not expect to wake up to this. Great news! The Sims 4 base game will be free.”

A third person commented: “I better see all of you playing with your free Sims 4 game on my TL please I need more people to talk about The Sims with it's sad.”

While another shared: “Is this a sign to finally play this game?”

I mean, if this isn’t a sign, I don’t know what is.

Additionally, those who have already bought the EA game can redeem The Sims 4 DesertLuxeKit from now until October 17.

All you have to do is simply log into the game and claim your new kit via the main menu.

Following the announcement, some fans speculate it could mean that The Sims 5 is on the horizon as a release date is yet to be announced.

However, it's rumoured to be a multiplayer game, according to Chief Studio Officer at EA, Laura Miele, as she says the company wants to focus on the social component of the game.
