After news of an Xbox One version leaked earlier this week, The Sims 4 has now been confirmed for Microsoft's console as well as PS4. The simulation title launched for PC back in 2014, and it's now coming to consoles on November 17.

The console versions will include the base game plus "many" of the content add-ons The Sims 4 received on PC, according to publisher EA. The company went on to say that fans can look forward to "periodic game updates and extra content releases."

Additionally, the game's pre-order bonuses have been revealed. Those who buy in advance will receive the Perfect Patio Stuff pack, which introduces hot tubs and "tons of bonus décor for your outdoor oasis." And while the full game launches November 17, you can get three days' early access if you pre-order the Deluxe Party Edition, which comes with the Perfect Patio Stuff pack and "special content like a Flaming Tiki Bar, outrageous costumes, silly animal hats, and more."

Finally, the publisher announced that EA Access subscribers on Xbox One can sample the game a week early, starting November 9, for no extra charge and for a limited time only. Just recently, The Sims 4 joined Origin Access, the PC equivalent of EA Access, and is now playable via that service for no extra charge.
