The Sims studio says its ‘values are unchanged’, including inclusivity, as EA’s Saudi takeover progresses

As Electronic Arts moves forward with its takeover by Saudi investment firm Savvy Gaming Group, Maxis, the studio behind The Sims, has sought to reassure fans that its core values remain intact. The team insists that their commitment to inclusivity and representation remains as strong as ever, even as the company experiences significant behind-the-scenes changes.

Maxis is currently hard at work on what they describe as the next evolution of The Sims series, promising fresh experiences without losing the essence that has made the franchise so beloved over more than two decades. While the ownership structure may be evolving, the studio wants players to know that their dedication to creating a welcoming and diverse community hasn’t wavered. In a gaming landscape where representation matters more than ever, this is a message that resonates far beyond just The Sims.

The studio’s emphasis on inclusivity has long been a defining feature, and it will remain front and center as development continues. Fans can expect Maxis to maintain the sense of freedom and creativity at the heart of the series, regardless of who holds the reins.
