Electronic Arts, known as EA, is currently running an exclusive playtest for their new game, "City Life Game with Friends," on Android devices as part of their ambitious project, The Sims Project Rene. This limited-time playtest aims to collect valuable feedback on the game's performance and player interactions, giving enthusiasts a sneak peek into what EA might be planning for the future of this exciting project.

Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?

The playtest for "City Life Game with Friends" is available exclusively for Android devices. To participate, your phone must be running at least Android 12 and have a minimum of 4GB of RAM. However, access is not open to everyone; it's limited to specific regions and participants.

The playtest will run until April 4th, 2025, but the end times vary by region: 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the playtest concludes, the game will shut down, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.

Once you gain access to the playtest, you'll have the opportunity to create a character that reflects your personal style and mood. The game's neighborhood is vibrant and full of activities.
