The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits is the life sim’s next expansion and the third big update to drop in 2025, making it a particularly busy year for the series as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Thanks to a steady trickle of updates through the Sims 4 blog, trailers, and a little of my own hands-on experience, we now know even more about what’s in store for us at Gibbi Point. Fortunately, the wait between now and the next Sims 4 update won’t be very long. Until then, I’m rounding up every detail I can find on the Adventure Awaits expansion and keeping this up-to-date as we count down the days to its new Getaway System, Custom Venues, and Imaginary Friends.
Adventure Awaits launches on October 2, 2025. EA’s storefront also notes the specific time the expansion goes live at 12 pm CDT. That’s 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 6 pm BST / or 3 am on October 3, 2025 AEST. Adventure Awaits will cost $40/£35 when it launches on Steam, Epic Games, and the EA App.
The first Sims 4 Adventure Awaits trailer takes a tour through Gibbi Point, mostly focused on the expanded childhood content. New activities and systems flesh out younger Sims more, giving them games to play, formative moments, and what I’m assuming is our first look at Imaginary Friends.
