If you’re yet to try out the latest entry in Maxis’ eternally popular people-manipulating simulator, now’s your chance - The Sims 4 is free via Origin’s ’Game Time’ promotion for 48 hours.
Game Time gives you full access to the entire game for a set time period. Once you load up the game for the first time, the clock starts running down. So you can’t ration those hours out over several weeks, more’s the pity.
Still, a decent chance to give The Sims 4 a go if those harrowing tales of no toddlers and a shocking lack of swimming pools haven’t put you off the series for all time. Oh wait, they’re in now. Jolly good.
You’ve got until February 2 to make use of the promotion. Other games currently available via On the House include Battlefield 4, Titanfall and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Check out what we thought of The Sims 4e in our review.
