Paradox’s Sims competitor Life By You will no longer be releasing in Early Access on June 4. The studio made the announcement via a forum post on Monday afternoon.
“After much consideration, we regret to announce that we have decided to retract Life by You’s Early Access release date, previously set for June 4th,” Deputy CEO Mattias Lilja said.
“This was not an easy decision, especially since we understand the anticipation and excitement that many players have for the game. However, we believe that additional development time is needed.”
As far as a new release date for Life By You Early Access, Lilja didn’t reveal what it would be. Instead, he said the company decided to hold off on setting a new date.
“While we would have preferred to commit to a new release window, we believe it is more prudent to hold off while we plan ahead, rather than committing to a new date that we cannot be certain to meet,” he said. “We will provide more information as soon as possible, until then we want to sincerely thank you for your continued support and patience.”
When it releases, Life By You will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The fact it was going into EA and still ended up being delayed must mean the game is in really poor shape, even for EA standards.
