The Simpsons: Tapped Out was a city-building mobile game for iOS and Android based on the American 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 was 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 worldwide on March 1, 2012, for iOS and on February 6, 2013, for Android. The game was released for Amazon Fire devices in several markets on June 24, 2013.
According to its own estimates as of 2014, EA generated over $130 million in revenue since the game's release. On September 26, 2024, EA announced that the game servers would be shutting down next year. 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 servers went permanently offline and the game was discontinued, becoming unplayable.
