The Sims franchise is venturing into the world of tabletop gaming with its first-ever board game, launching in Fall 2025.

She praised Goliath Games' ability to create an engaging and enjoyable board game experience. The Sims Board Game will be available globally at major retailers, with further details released closer to its release date.

While specifics are currently under wraps, both companies aim to translate key elements of The Sims' life simulation—character creation, relationships, and personal growth—into a captivating board game experience. This innovative addition to the franchise will undoubtedly excite both longtime Sims fans and board game enthusiasts.
