Sources, wishing to remain anonymous due to the possible repercussions of the revelation of their name, told famed insider Tom Henderson that they have already managed to crack the current version of The Sims 5. The Sims 5 playtest began last week. on October 25.
The hackers were able to generate access tokens using the game tester’s devuno token (which allows them to access the game). These generated tokens will allow anyone to access the game without any online access or approval from EA. In addition to replicating access tokens, the hackers also demonstrated the gameplay in which they play on Peer 2 Peer servers without having to contact EA’s servers.
It is understood that hacking the game was fairly straightforward, as the game is currently unencrypted and runs on Unreal Engine 5. This apparently made it “very easy” to bypass security. When asked if the hackers would make the generated codes and access to the game publicly available, they didn’t answer until this news was published.
Not much has been officially said about The Sims 5 aside from an official announcement called “Project Rene” last month. The Sims 5 will be released on consoles, PCs and mobile devices.
