Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is inviting Android users to participate in an exciting limited-time playtest for their upcoming game, "City Life Game with Friends." This playtest is a key component of EA's ambitious The Sims Project Rene, aimed at gathering 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 for Android devices. To participate, your device must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, access is not open to everyone, as it is limited to selected regions.
You can enjoy the game until April 4th, 2025, but be aware that 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 no longer be accessible, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.
Keep in mind that this playtest is not a full representation of the final game. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the potential direction EA might be taking with this project. It's clear that EA is exploring a variety of innovative concepts with this endeavor.
What’s in Store?
Once you're part of the playtest, you'll have the opportunity to craft a character that reflects your personal style and mood. The neighborhood is lively and filled with activities to engage in. From browsing for new outfits at the Thrift Shop to relaxing at the Café or participating in community events, there's always something happening.
You can collaborate with other players to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. The game emphasizes social interaction and community building, encouraging players to connect over shared interests in art, music, and meaningful conversations.
If you're intrigued by this playtest, you can find it on the Google Play Store, provided you're located in one of the designated playtest regions. If the playtest isn't available to you, stay tuned for our next update on Bandai Namco's decision to discontinue PAC-MAN Mobile as it celebrates its 45th anniversary.
