EA Play is a subscription service for their digital distribution platform, but it does cost $4.99 a month. In addition the the mobile games, EA boasts a 'free' 48 hour demo for their biggest simulation hit, The Sims 4 with EA Play - formerly EA Access. Players can also build and customize a home in The Sims Mobile - but just one - as the focus is placed more on a single household of up to four playable sims and their future generations. Its sim customization is more detailed, and it shares some assets with The Sims 4 as Maxis and EA worked on both titles.

Similarly, The Sims Mobile game is also a free download that can be enjoyed at no cost, but includes in-app purchases.
