New Year, New Updates: Four Things to Know Now about the Future of The Sims
As we kick off 2026, we’re excited to take a moment to share updates on what the team is working on for The Sims this year. But first, we want to start with what matters most–the values that have always shaped The Sims and we share with many of you.
Our values are unchanged.
At the heart of The Sims:
Creativity
Play
Choice
Inclusivity
Community
The Sims team creative control has not changed.

The Sims was built on a deep, single-player life simulation and that foundation isn’t going anywhere.
Single-player PC & console experiences will always be a part of our future.
We’ll continue to deliver content and updates to The Sims 4.
Single-player PC and console experiences will always be a part of our future, with more than half of our global development team dedicated to The Sims 4 and the next evolution. More news in the coming months!
Project Rene
Project Rene has evolved into a social, collaborative, mobile-first life-sim, as part of the Sims family! Not a replacement for single-player life simulation.
Thanks to ongoing player feedback, Project Rene will focus on social multiplayer play, offering a more direct way for friends to share creativity together.
In 2026, you can expect to hear more from us as we continue playtesting new ideas and experiences.
**We’re building a family of new Sims experiences **
Each experience carries the heart, humor, creativity, and lore you love, while introducing its own world, focus, and way to play. Opening a larger world of possibilities!
