SimCity Offline is Coming as a Free Update

EA has announced that SimCity Offline is coming as a free download with Update 10 for all SimCity players.

When we launch it, all of your previously downloaded content will be available to you anytime, anywhere, without the need for an internet connection. We are in the late phases of wrapping up its development and while we want to get it into your hands as soon as possible, our priority is to make sure that it’s as polished as possible before we release it. So, until then… testing, testing and more testing. As one of the final steps, we’re putting Offline into the hands of some of our most hardcore players, the DevTesters. This group of volunteers is going to put Offline through its paces before we release it.

In Update 10, you can still play solo in Regions on your own, or in Multiplayer with people from around the world. What’s new is the Single Player Mode, which allows you to play the game Offline by yourself. Your saved games in this mode are stored locally, you can save and load as much as you want.


Modders will be able to make modifications to the game and its components without compromising the integrity of the Online game. If you’re interested in making your own content take a look at the Modding Policy. To get you started, EA will be rolling out a series of tutorials from the studio that surfaces how they've created some of the content that you’ve seen so far.
