It’s finally happening: we’re getting a third life sim on the block when the Paralives launch arrives later today. The Sims series is about to have yet another new neighbor and this girl next door is looking like a real diamond in the rough. Paralives is not coming in flawless at its early access launch, but it’s got a whole lot of promise for those of us who wanted a new life sim to shake things up.
When is the Paralives launch time?
Paralives launches in early access at 10 am Eastern on May 25, 2026. It will be available on Steam for $40. Lucky for those in the US and UK, that’s a day off for many of us, so you’ve got a whole day to drain in character creation.
Here’s the Paralives launch time in other time zones around the world:
- 7 am PDT (Los Angeles)
- 10 am EDT (New York)
- 3 pm BST (London)
- 4 pm CEST (Berlin)
- 12 am May 26 AEST (Sydney)
- 2 am May 26 NZST (Auckland)
Is there preloading for Paralives?
There does not appear to be preloading available for Paralives, so you’ll have to download it after purchasing on launch day. The system specs list a required 8GB of storage space, which wound up being a 7.62GB installation size on my machine. So the good news is, it’s not a huge honking game that will take you hours to download.
