How Long is The Sims 4 Sale in 2024?
Based on the latest available data, The Sims 4 sale in Spring 2023 is expected to last one week, ending on March 16th for Steam and Epic Games and March 23rd for EA apps.
Sims 4 Sale Duration Trends Over Time
Here is a comparison of Sims 4 sales durations by year:
Year | Season | Sale Duration |
---|---|---|
2022 | Spring | 1 week |
2022 | Holiday | 1 week |
2021 | Black Friday | 1.5 weeks |
2020 | Summer | 2 weeks |
As we can see, Sims 4 sales have shortened in duration in more recent years, going from 2 weeks in 2020 down to only 1 week seasons in 2022.
What Does This Mean for 2023 Sales?
Based on the downward duration trend, I predict most Sims 4 sales in 2024 will likely last around 1 week only. There are a few possible reasons driving this pattern:
- With Sims 5 anticipation building, EA wants to drive players to the latest title
- Shorter sales create urgency to buy before the low prices end
- Less need for long sales with Sims 4 base game now free
Additionally, leaked marketing materials suggest the next Sims 4 sale will be in Summer 2023. If past years are any indicator, the length will be just 5-7 days.
The Future of Sims 4 Sales Post-2023
It is unconfirmed if Sims 4 sales will change course significantly once Sims 5 fully launches. Some analysts predict Coldplay packed sales right up until Sims 5’s release to capture lingering demand.
However, I speculate that Sims 4 sales durations will remain 1 week even after Sims 5. Why? To incentivize buying sequel packs instead for full-price. Limited time offers could continue driving spending.
In closing, while anything can change, buyers should expect most Sims 4 sales in 2024 to last around 1 week based on currentduration shrinkage over previous years. I will update this if any confirmed information emerges on future longer sales down the line!
