Electronic Arts, widely known as EA, is currently hosting an exclusive playtest for the "City Life Game with Friends" on Android devices. This playtest is a crucial part of EA's ambitious project, The Sims Project Rene, aimed at gathering valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions. If you're curious about what EA has in store for the future of The Sims franchise, this is your chance to get a sneak peek.
Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?
The playtest is exclusively available for Android users whose devices are running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, it's not open to everyone, so make sure you're in one of the selected regions. The playtest window is open until April 4th, 2025, but be aware 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'll need to uninstall the game. Keep in mind, this is not a full version or a complete representation of the final product, but rather a glimpse into the direction EA might be taking with this exciting project. It's clear that EA is experimenting with a variety of innovative ideas here.
What’s in Store?
Once you join the playtest, you'll have the opportunity to create a character that reflects your unique style and personality. The vibrant neighborhood is brimming with activities to explore. You can browse for new outfits at the Thrift Shop, relax at the Café, or participate in community events. Collaborate with other players to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. The game encourages social interaction and community building through shared interests in art, music, and engaging conversations.
If you're interested in participating, head over to the Google Play Store and check if you're in one of the playtest regions. If this isn't your cup of tea, stay tuned for our next update on Bandai Namco's decision to discontinue PAC-MAN Mobile on its 45th Anniversary.
