Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, is currently running an exclusive playtest for their new game, *City Life Game with Friends*, as part of their ambitious *The Sims Project Rene*. This limited-time event is specifically designed to gather valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions, helping EA refine their vision for this innovative project.
Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?
The playtest is exclusively available for Android devices. To participate, your phone must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, access to the playtest is not open to everyone, so make sure you're in one of the selected regions.
The playtest will be active until April 4th, 2025, but keep in mind the end times vary by region: 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST for Australia, and 3 AM PHT for the Philippines. Once the playtest concludes, the game will no longer be playable, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.
It's important to note that this playtest is not a full game nor a definitive preview of the final product. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the potential direction EA is exploring with *The Sims Project Rene*. It's clear that EA is experimenting with a range of innovative concepts.
What’s in Store?
Upon entering the playtest, you'll have the opportunity to create a character that reflects your personal style and mood. The vibrant neighborhood is brimming with activities, from browsing for new outfits at the Thrift Shop, relaxing at the Café, to participating in community events.
Players can collaborate to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and search for hidden collectibles. The game emphasizes social interaction and community building, encouraging players to connect over shared interests in art, music, and engaging conversations.
If you're interested in trying out *City Life Game with Friends*, head over to the Google Play Store, but remember, participation is limited to specific regions.
