The Simpsons: Tapped Out (TSTO), or simply known as Tapped Out, was a freemium licensed city-building mobile game for iOS and Android, based on the American animated comedy television series and media franchise The Simpsons. It allowed users to create and maintain their own version of Springfield using familiar characters and buildings. The game was regularly updated with new content, often seasonal and holiday-themed, for example, during holidays like Thanksgiving, and Treehouse of Horror episodes-related content for Halloween. The game used to be available in several languages such as English, French, Turkish, Italian, German, Simplified Chinese, Peninsular Spanish and both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. It was developed and published by EA Mobile and launched in Europe on February 29, 2012, and in North America on March 1, 2012, for iOS[1] and on February 6, 2013, for Android.[2] The game was released for Amazon Fire devices in several markets on June 24, 2013.[3]
According to its own estimates as of 2014[update], EA generated over $130 million in revenue since the game's release.[4] On September 26, 2024, EA announced that Tapped Out would be shutting down. It was delisted from the App Store and Google Play on October 31, 2024, while users who still had the app downloaded were able to continue playing the game until January 24, 2025. After that, the game was permanently discontinued and became unplayable.[5]
