For more than two decades, The Sims brand has proven that it is one of the game series that the level of success has not changed over time.
Since the latest version, The Sims 4 launched in 2014 and then moved to free play mode by 2022, the number of players of this series is still increasing sharply over time. On 10/2024, according to the latest statistics, more than 15 million new players of this series joined The Sims simulation world of the year.
But as soon as EA decided to expand the influence of this legendary blockbuster by launching the first two SIMS games on PC with modern graphics, the reaction of gamers turned 180 degrees.
Instead of having fun, most showed indignation right after The Sims 2 Legacy Collection was released. The rating of the game is a mixture with no positive comments on Steam. Most of the negative feedback of the player revolves around the situation of the game collapsed often and a series of different errors. More importantly, it is not simply an opinion from newcomers who experience The Sims 2 Legacy Collection in a few hours that even long -term gamers have shared.
Amid such poor reviews, a bright spot for The Sims 2 Legacy Collection is the number of players simultaneously on Steam, peaking at about 5,000 players on the launch date. Although it is not comparable to the daily number of players The Sims 4 received, this is still a remarkable number for a re -release of an old game. On the other hand, The Sims Legacy Collection currently ranks “mostly positive” on Steam, even though in terms of popularity, it is completely inferior to the following versions.
For Sims fans, 2025 is an important year for marking the 25th anniversary of this extremely famous brand. Gamers themselves have reason to wait when they are announced from the developer, it is very likely that a new super -large DLC for The Sims 4 will be launched this year.
