Report: The Sims 4 Headed To Xbox One
A listing on the Microsoft store page that recently posted seems to say that The Sims 4 is on its way to Xbox One, and that players won’t have long to wait to check it out. The page also lists a release date of November 16, 2017. The game’s full name is listed as The Sims 4 Deluxe Party Edition.
The listing also includes pre-order bonus info, explaining that a pre-order on the Microsoft store will get you a “Perfect Patio Stuff” set, which we can presume should make your Sims have a much nicer yard experience.
We reached out to EA for comment on the listing, and they responded to let us know that there is no official statement at this time.
Our Take
The listing has the look of authenticity about it. It’s a good bet that the game is really coming to Xbox One. The listing on Microsoft’s page doesn’t necessarily mean that Xbox One is the only console getting a release – I’ll be curious if we hear about other forthcoming launches for platforms like PS4 or Switch.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
