EA reveals The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections, 25th Birthday Bundle for PC

Do you yearn for the days when PC gaming was simple and The Sims was one of the most popular casual game experiences out there?  Well for the franchise’s big 25th birthday, EA apparently remembered!

The original The Sims and its sequel The Sims 2, and nearly all the bonus content that was ever released for those titles (see the fine print below), will be bundled up and released together as The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle or separately as Legacy Collections rather soon.

The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle will set PC players back $39.99, though a la carte The Sims: Legacy Collection will cost $19.99 and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection will go for a bit more at $29.99.  All versions will be available on a number of storefronts including the EA app, Epic Games Store and Steam on January 31st, 2025.   EA also announced a March 18th, 2025 release date for MySims: Cozy Bundle.
