Electronic Arts has announced that The Sims 4 will make its PS4 and Xbox One debut on November 17. According to the publisher, console players will get to experience the same “creativity, inclusivity and freedom of choice” as the PC version of The Sims 4:
As with The Sims 4 on PC, console players can experience and test life’s limits in a world where there are no rules. Fans will have the power to create unique Sims, customizing everything from their hair color and style to their fashion choices and life aspirations. With the room-based Build Mode, players can design and pick décor, effortlessly building their dream home. In the mood to explore? Sims can check out the various neighborhoods and dynamic venues the world offers.
The Sims 4 on console gives players the unique gameplay the PC base game has to offer, plus many of the additional content updates added to The Sims 4 post-launch. After the console game launches, fans can also look forward to periodic game updates and extra content releases.
Fans who opt for the Deluxe Party Edition will receive bonus in-game content (including a Flaming Tiki Bar, outrageous costumes, silly animal hats, hot tubs, and more) and they’ll be able to play The Sims 4 three days early (on November 14). But if you want to try before you buy, EA Access subscribers will be able to download a time-limited version of the full game on November 9.
