The Sims turn 25

When The Sims first launched, it pioneered the life simulation genre, which today is one of the fastest-growing segments in the video game industry. The Sims remains a leader in the genre, appealing to a diverse global audience and fostering one of the largest gaming communities particularly among female gamers.

“The Sims is more than just a game – it’s an entertainment platform offering a canvas for creativity and a medium for storytelling, amplified by our worldwide community of Simmers,” said Kate Gorman Revelli, Vice President and General Manager, The Sims.

“We are proud to have built such a strong community around shared values over the past 25 years. As we celebrate this milestone together, we look back at the past and what we have accomplished so far, while keeping a clear focus on what is next for The Sims. Our eyes are set on one goal: to continue expanding The Sims universe across modalities of engagement, including more entertainment experiences. We have a lot to share over the next 25 years, from a movie to more in-game gameplay, content creation, and social connection points. We are now more than ever energized to continue building platforms that involve, engage, reward, and delight our community.”

Today, February 4, beginning at 2 PM PST, The Sims will host The Sims 25 Hour Livestream, uniting The Sims community for an epic, global celebration of all things The Sims for 25 consecutive hours of gameplay, giveaways, and streams that are not to be missed. Celebrity fans including rapper and singer Doja Cat, rapper Latto, and Drag Queen comedy duo Trixie Mattel & Katya will join in on the celebration, making it an unforgettable event for fans. Simmers can also look forward to appearances from a variety of fan-favorite Sims storytellers, builders, and streamers from around the world, including Angelo & Lexy, LoserFruit, Cristinini, Dan & Phil, Plumbella, SpringSims, Ironmouse, Ebonix, Krystalogy, Julien, Deligracy, Caryn & Connie, and many more. www.youtube.com/thesims
