"Electronic Arts has announced another impending server shutdown. The developer has confirmed that after seven years and 50+ updates, The Sims Mobile will go offline for good on January 20, 2026. At 1:59 PM UTC that day, the game will no longer be playable at all. There is no offline mode, so the game will be gone for good at this time."
"Say goodbye to The Sims Mobile. The final update for The Sims Mobile went live today, October 20, and from this date forward, players cannot buy any in-game packs or spend real money. Players who have a balance of SimCash, Simoleons, or Tickets can continue to use these until the game closes in January 2026. Unspent currency will not be eligible for a refund after January 20, 2026."
"The October 20 update also added "unlimited energy" to The Sims Mobile, which will help players progress more quickly while the game remains online. On October 21, The Sims Mobile will be delisted from mobile game stores. Anyone who has the game installed currently or previously, however, can keep playing until January 2026. EA regularly closes servers for older titles for a variety of reasons, but the company did not provide any details on why The Sims Online is being taken offline in January 2026."
The Sims Mobile will go offline permanently at 1:59 PM UTC on January 20, 2026. The game has no offline mode and will be unplayable after that time. The final update on October 20 disabled in-app purchases, so players may no longer buy packs or spend real money. SimCash, Simoleons, and Tickets can be used until servers close but will not be refundable after January 20, 2026. The game will be delisted from mobile stores on October 21, while installed copies remain playable until shutdown. Unlimited energy was added to accelerate progression. Events will run through January 2026. All Build Mode and Create A Sim items unlock for everyone on January 6, 2026. No reason was provided for the shutdown.
