Krafton is set to release a multiplayer version of The Sims in 2026, after 26 years since the games original release.
This multiplayer experience, named inZOI, may offer a more robust multiplayer environment compared to the current City Life with Friends feature being developed by Electronic Arts.
Cooperative gameplay, including sharing a house with other players, is planned for spring 2022.
Krafton will optimize the game throughout 2025 before launching large-scale servers in late 2026 to accommodate hundreds of concurrent players.

Multiplayer Dream for The Sims Fans Coming True by Krafton After 26 Years

After 26 years, The Sims fans yearning for a multiplayer experience will soon have their wish fulfilled, not by Maxis or Electronic Arts, but by South Korean company Krafton.

Multiplayer Evolution in The Sims Universe with Krafton’s inZOI in 2026

While The Sims has traditionally been a solo experience, Electronic Arts has been developing Project Rene to enable multiplayer. Some players have previewed the “City Life with Friends” feature, but Krafton’s inZOI is slated for release in 2026 and may deliver a more robust multiplayer experience. According to the official inZOI Discord server, Krafton will begin the next phase of inZOI’s development in March. Cooperative gameplay, including the ability to share a house, is planned for next spring. Krafton intends to spend 2025 optimizing the game before launching large-scale servers in late 2026 to support hundreds of concurrent players. Research and development will then resume.
