Andrew Wilson, CEO van Electronic Arts, heeft deze week bekend gemaakt dat De Sims 4 het goed blijft doen en haar maandelijkse aantal actieve gebruikers het afgelopen kwartaal met 33% heeft zien stijgen ten opzichte van het voorgaande jaar. Ook de uitbreidingen lijken het goed te doen gezien ze een grote bijdrage hebben geleverd aan de 405 miljoen dollar die alle DLC heeft opgeleverd.
