What Is The Sims 5 Release Date?

At the time of writing, The Sims 5 does not have an official release date, but it is in its early stages. Project Rene’s Game Director, Grant Rodiek, discussed the current status of this new game during the latest Behind The Sims Summit and disclosed how the studio still needs to make more improvements.

In this livestream, Rodiek states, “Right now, we are really focused on analyzing our recent playtests so that we can use that information to make the game better. We have a long path ahead of us to make Project Rene awesome.” With this in mind, it is likely that The Sims 5 won’t be releasing any time soon, especially since they are introducing new mechanics.

Those unfamiliar with the recent updates of the franchise should note that there will be multiplayer and crossplay gameplay in the next installment, bringing in unique challenges for Maxis Studios. Grant also mentioned how the developers are trying to see how these latest systems work in playtests and are removing mechanics that may confuse players.

The most recent playtest focused on furniture customization, allowing users to try out the new design process of The Sims 5, primarily with the mobile and PC integration. There were also run-throughs for multiplayer experiences, where fans can create an apartment together rather than the solo play of The Sims 4.

That’s everything you need to know about The Sims 5 release date. While you are here, you can check out more content about the series, including our guide on the Infants update.
