The Sims Mobile is Shutting Down Next Year

The Sims is in a period of transition -- and as part of that, the ongoing mobile version will be shutting down in a few months. From a report: EA announced that today's update for The Sims Mobile will be its last, and that on January 20th, 2026 the game 'will no longer be accessible to play and will be sunset.' The mobile iteration of the franchise first launched in 2018, and has seen more than 50 updates since then.
