SimCity titles are real-time management and construction simulators. A 2013 EA-Maxis reboot was subject to what has been described as 'one of the most disastrous launches in history', which may have triggered the 2015 shutdown of Maxis Emeryville and the end of the franchise. EA commissioned various spinoffs from other companies during the 2000s, focusing on console and mobile releases.

Maxis developed the series independently until 1997, and continued under the ownership of Electronic Arts until 2003. The first game in the series, SimCity, was published by Maxis in 1989 and were followed by several sequels and many other spin-off ' Sim' titles, including 2000's The Sims, which itself became a best-selling computer game and franchise. SimCity is an open-ended city-building video game franchise originally designed by Will Wright.
