It's hard to believe that it has been 25 years since The Sims made its debut, but we're so grateful to have shared this incredible journey with so many of you. No one does life like The Sims, and as we gear up for next week's celebrations, what better way to kick things off than with a cultural comeback? That's right—we're taking it back to where it all began with the launch of The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle! You've been asking for it, and we're thrilled to finally return to the days when we first reimagined the ways people play with life.

To celebrate our legacy and honor the incredible fans that have been with us along the way, we're re-releasing two fan-favorite titles that contain familiar neighborhoods and beloved characters - such as the sneaky burglar, unpredictable genie, and Sunny the Tragic Clown—that started it all. Rediscover the nostalgia and magic of the classics that welcomed so many of you into our amazing community. The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle includes The Sims and The Sims 2, featuring all the iconic characters, music, and gameplay you know and love, plus bonus content! You can also purchase The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection separately. We're so excited for you to play, create, and relive the fun across re-releases of these beloved games, rolling out globally on Windows 10 and 11 beginning on January 31, 2025.

We're happy to give you a bit more info about the launch of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage! First, the price of the game will be 39,99€/$39.99/£35.89 when Tape 1 "Bloom" launches on February 18, 2025. This price includes both Tapes, so when Tape 2 launches on April 15 it will simply become an update that you can download which will allow you to play through the rest of the girls' story at your convenience. The game will also be launching with a limited-time discount of 10% until March 4!

You also might have noticed we've changed the date of Tape 2's launch - while Tape 1 is still on schedule, we're postponing the release of Tape 2 by four weeks, from March 18 to April 15, 2025. This game is very special to us, and we want to ensure that you get the experience you deserve while playing, with the extra time going towards additional optimization for a truly immersive continuation of the journey.
