EA Launches Playtest for Sims Spinoff, City Life Game with Friends

Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, is currently hosting an exclusive playtest for their new game, *City Life Game with Friends*, which is part of EA's innovative project, The Sims Project Rene. This playtest is a golden opportunity for EA to collect valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions. If you're an Android user, you might be in luck!

Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?

The playtest is exclusively available for Android devices. Your phone must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, participation isn't open to everyone; it's limited to select regions. The playtest runs until April 4th, 2025, but the end times vary by region: 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the playtest concludes, the game will shut down, and you'll need to uninstall it.

It's important to note that this playtest doesn't represent the final game or its complete features. Instead, it offers a sneak peek into the direction EA might be taking with Project Rene, showcasing their experimentation with various concepts and ideas.

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 neighborhood is vibrant and full of activities, from browsing the Thrift Shop for new outfits to relaxing at the Café or participating in community events.

The game encourages social interaction and community building. You can collaborate with other players to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. Whether your interests lie in art, music, or simply engaging in meaningful conversations, *City Life Game with Friends* offers a platform for shared experiences and community engagement.
