The Simpsons: Tapped Out (TSTO), or simply known as Tapped Out, is a retired freemium licensed city-building mobile game for iOS and Android, based on the American animated comedy television series 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 used to be available in several languages such as English, French, Turkish, Italian, German, Simplified Chinese, Peninsular Spanish and both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. The game was developed and published by EA Mobile and launched in Europe on February 29, 2012 and in North America on March 1, 2012 for iOS[1] and February 6, 2013 for Android.[2] The game was released for Amazon Fire devices in several markets on June 24, 2013.[3]

According to its own estimates, EA generated over $130 million in revenue since the game's release, as of 2014.[4]

Tapped Out was delisted from the App Store and Google Play on October 31, 2024, while users who have the app downloaded would be able to continue playing the game until January 24, 2025, after which the game would be permanently discontinued and will become unplayable after January 24th 2025.[5]
