Last Chance to Build: The Sims Mobile Is Being Delisted This Week — Servers Close Jan. 20, 2026
EA has announced that The Sims Mobile will be removed from app stores this week and will shut down early next year. The company says the game will still run and receive content for a few more months, but after the shutdown players will no longer be able to access it.
Shutdown timeline
EA says The Sims Mobile will be delisted from the App Store and Google Play on Oct. 21, and the game will officially shut down on Jan. 20, 2026. Meanwhile, the studio will continue to support the game with updates through January.
In its announcement, EA pointed players to a blog post announcing the news with full details.
What you can play now
For the final months, EA has scheduled seasonal content. For example, the Eerie Autumn Festival and the Cozier Home Sweet Treat Showdown are live now. Therefore, active players can still take part in planned events and new seasonal items until the servers close.
Currency and refunds
EA confirmed that any unspent premium currency will disappear when the servers shut down, and no refunds will be provided. Importantly, the announcement includes this exact line: “All purchases you’ve made before October 20 will still work in-game right up until January 20, 2026.”
Final unlocks in January
As a final gesture, EA will automatically unlock all items in Build Mode and Create-A-Sim (CAS) on Jan. 6. After that date, players can experiment freely with homes and Sims until the game goes offline on Jan. 20.
About the game
The Sims Mobile launched in March 2018 and focuses on customizing and controlling a single Sim family. It is separate from The Sims FreePlay, which EA has not announced any plans to take offline. Therefore, fans of mobile Sims titles will still have an outlet after The Sims Mobile closes.
