The release of The Sims 5 on mobile devices may precede its availability on home consoles. Currently in development as Project Rene, Maxis, the game's developer, is actively recruiting talent to help bring the project to fruition. This hiring process has the potential to reveal additional details about the game.
With limited information about The Sims 5 currently available, fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating news about how Maxis plans to differentiate this new installment from its predecessors. While new features and content are expected, considering the significant growth of The Sims 4 since its initial release, Maxis faces a daunting challenge ahead.
Maxis, the studio behind The Sims franchise, has posted a new job listing indicating that they are planning to launch their upcoming game on mobile devices before making it available on home consoles. The listing is seeking a Multiplayer Gameplay Software Engineer with extensive experience in developing games for both PC and mobile platforms, without mentioning consoles. It is important to note that although the listing does not explicitly mention The Sims 5, it does mention Project Rene.
