EA Begins Playtest for The Sims Spinoff, City Life Game with Friends

Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, is currently running an exclusive playtest for their new game, *City Life Game with Friends*, as part of their ambitious *The Sims Project Rene*. This limited-time playtest is a golden opportunity for gamers to dive into EA's latest venture and provide valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions.

Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?

The playtest is exclusively available on Android devices. To participate, your device must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, access to the playtest isn't open to everyone; it's restricted to selected participants.

You can enjoy the game until April 4th, 2025, but be mindful of the different end times based on your region: 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the playtest concludes, the game will no longer be accessible, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.

Keep in mind that this playtest isn't a full representation of the final product. Instead, it's a sneak peek into the direction EA might be taking with *The Sims Project Rene*, offering a glimpse at their experimental approach to game development.

What’s in Store?

Once you're in the playtest, you'll have the chance to create a character that reflects your personal style and vibe. The vibrant neighborhood is filled with exciting activities, from browsing the Thrift Shop for new outfits to relaxing at the Café or participating in community events.

Engage with other players to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. *City Life Game with Friends* encourages social interaction and community building, allowing you to connect with others over shared interests in art, music, and engaging conversations.

If you're interested in joining the playtest, head over to the Google Play Store and see if it's available in your region. If you're not part of the playtest, stay tuned for our next update on Bandai Namco's decision to discontinue PAC-MAN Mobile as it celebrates its 45th anniversary.
