EA has added the option to kiss Death in The Sims 4, with nearly 100 million players currently in the game.

It seems that The Sims 4 is here to stay. In fact, it's gaining more popularity than ever before. Can you believe that over 15 million new players have joined the game this year alone? And what's more, EA has confirmed that there will be no The Sims 5 in the near future.

Earlier this year, EA announced that they would continue updating The Sims 4 instead of creating a new sequel. This came as a surprise to many fans, who were expecting a new release with the ongoing testing of Project Rene. However, EA has a simple explanation for their decision: The Sims 4 is just too darn popular.

In their latest financial results, EA revealed that the game has attracted a whopping 15 million new players in just 12 months. That's an incredible number, even better than what some games can achieve in their entire lifetime. To put it into perspective, it took The Sims 4 six years to reach 20 million players. But as soon as the game went free-to-play, the numbers skyrocketed.

This makes The Sims 4 more than just a game, it's now considered a live service title. The number of players has quadrupled since October 2022, reaching a staggering 85 million in May. And by the end of this year, EA expects to hit the 100 million mark.

This success has surpassed EA's expectations, leading them to focus on expanding The Sims 4 rather than releasing a new sequel. They have big plans for the game, including more expansions and regular bug fixes. The next expansion, called Life & Death, will be released on Halloween and will introduce new features for ghost sims, including the ability to have a romantic relationship with Death himself.

But that's not all, as EA has recently announced the return of the MySims brand on the Nintendo Switch. This suggests that the game is now a top priority for EA, and we can expect to see more spin-offs in the future. Perhaps this is part of Nintendo's push for remasters on the Switch, while they work on the next generation console.

So, while there may not be a new sequel in the works, The Sims 4 is far from dead. It's a game that continues to evolve and grow, with a dedicated fan base and a bright future ahead.
