Electronic Arts (EA) has released their widely anticipated free-to-play simulation game for iOS, called SimCity BuildIt.
The game has been released exclusively on the Canadian App Store as a part of a soft launch. The company is set to roll out the game to other countries over the coming weeks.
SimCity BuildIt, which was announced last month, is a new freemium game based on the popular SimCity open-ended city-building game for PC. Build and manage your very own city and watch it come to life. The game includes stunning 3D graphics, famous landmarks, and bustling streets.
Here is a full list of in-game features:
– SimCity, reimagined for a new generation of mobile players
– Solve real city problems like traffic, fires and pollution
– Add basic city services, including water and electricity to keep your citizen happy and your city growing
– Specialize your city with iconic landmarks, casinos, and more!
– Create and trade resources with friends and other cities
– Unleash natural (and not so natural) disasters
– Explore your 3D city from all angles with 360° controls
– Watch your city come to life – night and day!
SimCity BuildIt is available as a free download from the Canadian App Store. The game requires any iOS device running iOS 7 or later and contains in-app purchases ranging from $0.99 to $19.99.

Requirements are misleading – says will run on iPhones running iOS 7 and above and ‘optimized’ for iPhone 5 and 6 – but will not run on iPhone 4 / 4s, regardless of whether they run iOS 7.
