EA Launches Playtest for Sims Spinoff, City Life Game with Friends

Electronic Arts, known as EA, is currently hosting an exciting playtest for their new game, City Life Game with Friends, which is part of their ambitious project, The Sims Project Rene. This limited-time playtest is an opportunity for EA to collect valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions, helping to shape the future of this intriguing project.

Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?

The playtest is exclusively available for Android users, and your device must be running at least Android 12 with 4GB of RAM. Please note that not everyone can participate in this playtest.

You can enjoy the game until April 4th, 2025, but keep in mind that the end times vary by region: 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the playtest concludes, you will need to uninstall the game.

This playtest isn't a full version or a definitive preview of the final product. Instead, it's a sneak peek into the direction EA might be taking with this project, showcasing their experimental approach with various innovative ideas.

What’s in Store?

Upon entering the game, you'll have the opportunity to create a character that reflects your personal style and mood. The neighborhood is vibrant and full of activities. You can explore the Thrift Shop for new outfits, relax at the Café, or participate in community events.

Collaborate with others to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. The game encourages social interaction and community building by engaging players in their interests, whether it's art, music, or simply having meaningful conversations.

If you're interested in joining the playtest, head over to the Google Play Store and check if you're in one of the eligible regions. If not, stay tuned for more updates, including our coverage on Bandai Namco's decision to end PAC-MAN Mobile on its 45th anniversary.
