'The Sims 4' For Xbox One, PS4 Out in 2016? [Release Date, Specs, Features & Rumors]

EA Games is set to release “The Sims 4” in different formats, an indication that the game could very well be on the verge of hitting the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.

The life simulation game debuted back in September 2014 for the PC while the Mac compatible version followed in February of this year. Carrying the same concept as its predecessor, “The Sims 3," the latest installment did get its share of initial complaints with some features mysteriously absent.

Among them included the “Create A Style” feature which allowed users to visit their Sim/s while they were at work though all that have been somehow made up for with the release of DLCs.

Aside from addressing the missing features, the packs also brought in improved features such as an improved construction system and personalities for each character.

While the PC and the Mac versions seem to have been addressed, a bigger question right now is when the version for game consoles would be making its way in the market.

Had it followed the same route of its predecessor, “The Sims 4” should have been out by now. “The Sims 3” came out in the open back in 2009 for the PC and the game consoles were released a year after.

With 2015 nearing its end and no “Sims 4” in sight, the logical expectation could perhaps be to see the game come out by the first quarter of 2016 per Neurogadget. But do take note that EA Games has not yet confirmed if the next installment is indeed coming out by that time.

Checking on how EA Games goes about it, it takes normally two years for them to release the game console versions after the PC version is released.

It would have been grand to see the game come out this month but from the looks of it, the chances of that happening are close to nil.

While game console users are awaiting that, the PC and MAC versions have recently gotten a new expansion pack called “The Sims 4 Get Together” expansion pack.

The new pack was released last Dec. 8 as revealed via BusinessWire, something that will allow players to create and play with groups of Sims as they explore a whole new world, Windenburg.

Among the new features that the pack carried include how players can introduce their Sims to a variety of different Clubs using interests, personalities, and styles.

In the event that players are unable to find the perfect Club suited for their Sims, they can create and customize their own Clubs to play any way they like.
