EA Halts Development of Long-Running Mobile Hit

EA's The Simpsons: Tapped Out is shutting down after a twelve-year run. This beloved city-building mobile game, initially launched in 2012 on the App Store and 2013 on Google Play, will be saying goodbye to players in early 2025.

The Shutdown Timeline:

  • In-app purchases are already disabled.
  • October 31st, 2024: The game will be removed from app stores.
  • January 24th, 2025: The game servers will be permanently shut down.

EA expressed gratitude to its players in the sunset announcement, highlighting the successful decade-long partnership with The Simpsons and The Walt Disney Company.

One Last Chance to Build Your Springfield?

If you've never experienced the quirky charm of The Simpsons: Tapped Out, now's your last chance. The game lets you rebuild Springfield after Homer's disastrous nuclear meltdown. You'll manage iconic characters, expand the town to Springfield Heights, and even run Apu's Kwik-E-Mart. Donuts are the in-game currency that fuels the fun in this freemium title, which frequently featured updates based on the show and real-world holidays.
