Business Partnerships, what it means for the Sims franchise

So really interesting news shared by EA recently. Sims 4 will be available on Steam in the future.

What this means is Simmers could have more ways to play beyond just the console. Cloud based gaming through the Sims 4 for the Stadia system too which will also allow you to play the TV with the partnership between Stadia and Steam.

So cloud based gaming for the Sims could come sooner than I expected during the Sims 4 development.

Announcement of it from Twitter:

    More news about it:
    "For the time being, though, you won't be able to launch games you bought on Origin through Steam. That may change eventually, as the "relationship between Steam and Valve is evolving." However, you can, as always add games from other launchers to your Steam library as shortcuts through the "Add a non-Steam game to My Library option." "

    Star Wars, Apex, and FIFA will be the first to arrive on Steam.
