All good things must come to an end, and, unfortunately, that includes The Sims Mobile. I love The Sims, and as the franchise continues to elude the Nintendo Switch family of consoles, the mobile game is my only way to play it on the go (minus my PSP, anyway). But now, EA has announced that The Sims Mobile will shut down early next year, meaning you only have a few precious months left before it’s time to say dag dag.
Games like The Sims helped to shape my childhood, and I can honestly say that I’m sad to see one of the best life sims on mobile close its doors, even if it’s likely to pave the way for a new mobile game in its place. In the official blog post, EA explains that the latest update is to be the game’s final one, and that “from January 20, 2026, at 1:59pm UTC, The Sims Mobile will no longer be accessible to play and will sunset.”
Luckily, the last few months of its life are full of exciting content, ensuring that you can enjoy the game right down to the final minute. There are still 14 events to come to the free mobile game, including limited-time quests and treasure hunts, some of which are seasonal – you get to ignore your relatives on Christmas Day to check in on your mobile Sims one more time.
