EA Cancels The Sims 5, Citing Player Investment and Community Concerns
EA has confirmed that The Sims 5 is not in development due to the large amount of content players have accumulated in The Sims 4, which EA considers not player-friendly to reset. Instead, EA is focusing on expanding The Sims 4 with new content and developing a free-to-play multiplayer spin-off that aims to offer a fresh, multi-platform experience and new gameplay modes.
