It feels like such a long time since a Sims title has been on consoles and it has. The last Sims title released for consoles was The Sims 3: Pets back in 2011. In 2017, Xbox owners can look forward to having The Sims 4.
The Sims 4 recently entered the vault for Origin Access members, meaning it is free for subscribers of the service. A store page is currently available for the title on the Microsoft Store where you can read all about the game.
If you’re a fanatic and want even more Sims, you can pre-order The Sims 4 Deluxe Party Edition which includes three days of early access along with the Perfect Patio DLC.
Here is the description of the game, as found on its store page.
