Electronic Arts, known as EA, is inviting Android users to participate in an exclusive playtest for their new game, City Life Game with Friends. This playtest is a part of EA's ambitious project, The Sims Project Rene, and is aimed at gathering valuable feedback on game performance and player interactions. The playtest is designed to provide insights into the direction EA might be taking with this exciting new venture.
Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?
The playtest for City Life Game with Friends is exclusively available on Android devices. To participate, your phone must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. Please note that this opportunity is not open to everyone and is region-specific.
The playtest will run until April 4th, 2025, but the end time varies by region. It will conclude at 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the playtest period ends, the game will no longer be accessible, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.
Keep in mind that this playtest does not represent the final version of the game. It's an early look at EA's experimental ideas and potential future directions for the project.
What’s in Store?
Once you're part of the playtest, you'll have the chance to create a character that reflects your personal style and mood. The game's vibrant neighborhood offers a plethora of activities, from shopping for new outfits at the Thrift Shop to relaxing at the Café or participating in community events.
Players can collaborate to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. The game emphasizes social interaction and community building, encouraging players to connect over shared interests in art, music, and engaging conversations.
If you're interested in joining the playtest, head over to the Google Play Store, provided you're located in one of the eligible regions. If this isn't your cup of tea, stay tuned for our next news update on Bandai Namco's decision to discontinue PAC-MAN Mobile on its 45th anniversary.
