EA's popular mobile game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, is closing its doors after a twelve-year run. Launched in 2012 on Apple's App Store and 2013 on Google Play, this city-building game allowed players to recreate Springfield.
The Shutdown Timeline:
In-app purchases are already unavailable. The game will be removed from app stores on October 31st, 2024. Servers will finally shut down on January 24th, 2025. EA expressed gratitude to its players in the shutdown announcement, acknowledging the long-standing partnership with The Simpsons and The Walt Disney Company.
One Last Chance to Play?
If you've yet to experience Springfield's digital reconstruction, here's a quick overview. You'll take charge of rebuilding the town after Homer's accidental nuclear mishap. Manage the rebuilding process, reunite the Simpsons family, and interact with iconic characters like Fat Tony, sporting outfits like Daredevil Bart. Expand your Springfield to include Springfield Heights and even manage Apu's Kwik-E-Mart.
The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a freemium game, regularly updated with content tied to the show and real-world events. While the game is free, "donuts" serve as the in-game currency.
