After 13 years, EA shut down The Simpsons Tapped Out, but fans refused to delete the game and launched their own server

The story of The Simpsons Tapped Out has come to an end, but some people weren’t happy with that.

In early 2025, the servers for the city-building live-service game The Simpsons Tapped Out were shut down. The project lasted for 13 years and gathered a dedicated fan base.

Users were not pleased with Electronic Arts’ decision and refused to delete The Simpsons Tapped Out from their devices. Subsequently, tech enthusiasts stepped in and set up an unofficial server run by the community.

Around 800+ people now continue playing The Simpsons Tapped Out. Some players managed to transfer their progress and didn’t have to start a new game.
