EA's popular mobile game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, is closing its doors after a twelve-year run. Launched in 2012 on the App Store and 2013 on Google Play, this city-building game allowed players to recreate their own version of Springfield.
The Shutdown Timeline:
In-app purchases are already unavailable. The game will be removed from app stores on October 31st, 2024. Servers will finally shut down on January 24th, 2025. EA expressed gratitude to its players in the sunset announcement, highlighting the decade-long partnership with The Simpsons and Disney.
One Last Chance to Play?
If you've yet to experience the game, here's a brief overview: You'll rebuild Springfield after Homer's disastrous nuclear meltdown. Manage iconic characters, expand the town to Springfield Heights, and even run the Kwik-E-Mart. The game is freemium, regularly updated with content tied to the show and real-world events. "Donuts" are the in-game currency driving progress.
