The first Fiscal Year of 2018 has started and EA is reporting that The Sims 4 is doing more than well in not just the last quarter but in the last 12 months. Here’s some important remarks by EA for The Sims:
- Our Sims community continues to be strong: monthly active players in The Sims 4 increased more than 20% year-over-year in Q1, and we’re excited to have a new Sims Mobile game in soft launch.
- Yesterday, we announced that The Sims 4 is coming to Xbox One and PS4 players this November, bringing the same unique gameplay and self-expression from the PC game to console players. Much of the content added post-launch on PC will be included, with more game updates to come.
- Net sales for the quarter were $775 million, up $93 million on the prior year, and $25 million above our guidance. There was an FX headwind of approximately $16 million compared to the prior year. The outperformance relative to guidance was driven by Ultimate Team, The Sims 4 and FIFA Online 3.
- Live services net sales were up 22% year on year, to $420 million. The growth was broad based, driven by FIFA Ultimate Team, Battlefield 1, and The Sims 4.
- Notably, Sims 4 expansion packs continue to perform extremely well, and the last twelve months have been the best in the title’s history.

The Sims 4…We’re finally doing something. Seriously, when will we get Disqus back?

I’m also missing Disqus ;(
Maybe the team will start focusing more on Expansion Packs if that is in the bold print and excludes GPs and SPs.
How about celebrating by releasing a mash-up of the Sims 4 Seasons and Pets?
