The Sims 4 and Nintendo: Disappointing News for Fans
Are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Sims 4 on Nintendo? We understand your excitement, but regrettably, the game’s developers have some disappointing news to share. Despite the buzz generated by exciting rumors, it seems that The Sims 4 will not be making its way to the Nintendo platform. Stay tuned for updates on future releases.
After a rumor-filled start to the week, it appears that The Sims 4 won't be coming to the Nintendo Switch after all. A mistaken listing named the Switch as a platform for The Sims 4, but the team behind the game insists the blunder isn't secretly a premature announcement. Upon spotting the listing, fans were quick to theorize that a port was imminent, but official word has since squashed any speculation.
Despite having been released roughly a decade ago, The Sims 4 remains a popular title thanks to numerous expansions and a bustling community. Even with the free-to-play Sims 5 on the horizon, dedicated fans of the current iteration continue to check in on their characters, create impressive homes, and share their builds with the community. Switch gamers were hoping to join in on the fun with PC players as well as those on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but that doesn't appear to be in the current plans, unfortunately.
The Sims 4 Not Coming To Nintendo Switch After All
As first spotted by TheHenfordHen on social media, EA's own website included the Nintendo Switch alongside other platforms for The Sims 4. However, an official social media account for the game has since responded to the post, stating that The Sims 4 is not currently available on the Switch, and there are no plans to bring the popular title to the hybrid console. Any mention of the Switch regarding The Sims 4 has since been removed from the site, and the original social media post has been deleted.
Hopeful fans might still believe this to be misdirection from the team until the official announcement is ready to be made, but if a port were imminent, it's more likely that the social media account would have remained silent. Not to mention, fans were questioning how this game might run on the Switch when rumors were circulating. The base game isn't all that demanding, but running all the Sims 4 expansion packs can be quite taxing on even more powerful current-gen hardware.
