EA Gives Update on The Sims 5 Development, Including Free-to-Play Details

As the development of The Sims 5, codenamed Project Rene, continues, Electronic Arts has offered even more information on the game, such as how its free-to-play platform and content monetization will work. Though The Sims 4 continues to be supported by frequent updates, many players would agree that the game has reached its limit, both from a technical standpoint and a creative one. The numerous expansion packs for The Sims 4 have also made it pricey for the average gamer, despite its shift to free-to-play. For most players, whether old veterans or potential newcomers, a clean slate is preferred.
