Electronic Arts is celebrating 25 years of its iconic life-simulation franchise, The Sims, by re-releasing classic titles in bundles and separately. The “The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle” offers the original game and bonus content for $39.99 on PC via various platforms. EA Play Pro members will have unlimited access to both games.
Two new collections are also available: “The Sims: Legacy Collection” featuring the original game along with additional packs, and “The Sims 2: Legacy Collection” including The Sims 2 and its numerous expansion packs. These re-releases mark the franchise’s milestone anniversary and a decision not to release a new main installment, The Sims 5.
The move is part of EA’s plans to continue supporting existing titles, like The Sims 4, which has just celebrated its 10th anniversary. Vice president Kate Gorman Revelli calls the re-release a “birthday treat” for players, allowing them to relive nostalgia and introducing the franchise to new fans.
