Is The Sims 4 multiplayer?

The Sims 4 has been delighting players since way back in 2014, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Whether you opt to just play the game’s base free version or purchase any of its myriad of expansions, there’s so much to do and see (and so many laughs to be had) that it’s plainly obvious how it’s lasted this long. However, a lot has changed in the multiplayer world in the past decade since The Sims 4 landed, and shared experiences in cozy life simulation games are the new norm now. If you’re curious whether The Sims 4 features multiplayer, we’ve got the answer for you.

Is The Sims 4 multiplayer?

The Sims 4 definitely seems like a game that should feature online play, but unfortunately, it does not have an official multiplayer component. But the word “official” is key here, as there is a workaround for those eager to make it happen.

Since EA hasn’t indicated that there any plans to add multiplayer to The Sims 4, the mod community rose to the challenge instead. S4MP is a mod that allows you to team up with friends and play in real time in each other’s worlds. Unfortunately, this mod only works on PC, which means that players on consoles have no way to play online with others. Bummer.

Although not every platform supports the S4MP mod, The Sims 4 is free to play and can be quite a good time even when playing alone. You can grab it now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC. It’s also backward compatible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.

Everything we know about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4

After a long hiatus, the first signs of life in years for the Tony Hawk games came with 2020's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. This remake of the first two skateboarding games not only brought the games to modern consoles with updated visuals, but also tightened up the controls and brought in mechanics from later games like reverts, spine transfers, and manuals. We all assumed that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 was the next upcoming video game from the studio, only to learn the team was put on other projects and the game was canceled. Now, the game is back and grinding its way to a platform near you sooner than you might think. If you have time before GTA 6 and Borderlands 4 drop later this year, check out everything we know about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4.
Release date

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will kickflip into action on July 11, 2025. However, anyone who preorders either the Digital Deluxe or Collector's Edition will get three days early access and can start playing on July 8. More details on preorders are below!

The original Tony Hawk games were full of secrets and Easter Eggs to find, including a ton of special characters to play as. The latest remake, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, is bringing back nearly everything included in those original releases, alongside new levels, songs, and even skaters. While the character creator will let us put basically anyone we want into the game, it isn't quite good enough to recreate our favorite pro skaters as well as the developers can.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will launch on July 11 (or July 8 if you pre-order its deluxe editions) for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass PC at launch. The remake package will include new skate parks for the first time in 10 years.

The five year road to the release has been long. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 launched in 2020 to critical acclaim, immediately fueling speculation for more remakes. Those dreams were squashed when developed Vicarious Visions was merged into Blizzard in 2021 and converted into a support studio. The next year, Tony Hawk himself claimed that remakes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 were planned, but halted after the move.
