The Sim FreePlay may come to Xbox One if a listing which appeared on the Xbox Store is to be believed. If you look closely, you can see that the game says it’s supported on a number of devices like HoloLens and Xbox One. Since it’s a mobile game I’m not surprised because EA will want to capitalize on that. Would you be interested in playing it on Xbox One?
The Sims FreePlay is a life simulation developed by EA Mobile and later with Firemonkeys Studios. It is a freemium version of The Sims for mobile devices and was released worldwide on December 15, 2011 for iOS devices, on February 15, 2012 for Android, July 31, 2013 for BlackBerry 10 and September 12, 2013 for Windows Phone 8. The game made it to Kindle Fire in October 2012 and it looks like it’s making the jump again to Xbox One.
In the game, players build houses, control virtual people called Sims to satisfy their needs and wishes, and let them complete different kinds of actions to gain Simoleons, LifeStyle Points and experience. Unlike other Sims games, The Sims FreePlay runs in real-time and takes real time to complete actions. All actions must be instructed by players, unlike in the computer version, where Sims can have some degree of autonomy. You should check it out on mobile if you’re interested.
