No release date or window was indicated in the leaked materials. However, the level of polish shown in the leaked footage suggests The Sims 5 is quite far along in development. A late 2024 or 2025 release seems plausible.
One of the most exciting features showcased in the leaked footage is cross-platform play between PC and mobile. This would allow players to build relationships and narratives between Sims on different platforms seamlessly.
Given the cross-platform play features, it’s safe to assume The Sims 5 will launch on PC, iOS, and Android devices. The footage showed both desktop and mobile gameplay. Console versions are still questionable
According to reports, The Sims 5 will make use of the Unreal Engine rather than the Frostbite Engine used in previous entries. This could allow Maxis to truly push the boundaries of what’s possible in a Sims game
The leaked footage provides a glimpse at The Sims 5’s Create-A-Sim and Build Mode tools. The customization looks to be deeper than ever, with more options to intricately design your perfect Sims. Meanwhile, the Build Mode footage shows the ability to not only design interior spaces, but also thorough landscaping outdoors.
While the leaked footage provides merely a snapshot of a work-in-progress build, it does seem to suggest an exciting path forward for the beloved franchise. Cross-platform play, enhanced customization, and smarter Sims could take the addicting life simulation gameplay to new heights.
