In Life by You, players will create humans and live out their lives without loading screens.

Life by You allows players to design and live out the lives of the humans that they create in an open game world where everything is customizable. Players create their households, build their homes and tell life’s many stories. With real language conversation and the ability to switch from third-person to direct control gameplay, players will connect with their humans on an emotional level. A wide variety of Creator Tools and Editors will allow players to tweak every aspect of their experience, giving them the ability to live life to the fullest - or break the rules, as they see fit. 

Life by You is developed by Paradox Tectonic, a game development studio formed in 2019 by Paradox Interactive. Paradox Tectonic is led by Rod Humble, and made up of veteran game development talent dedicated to building games that enable creativity, freedom, emotion, and sharing. The studio is committed to working with the players, making Life by You’s Early Access a shared experience where the community’s feedback will impact on priorities, content ideas, and development as the team brings the game to full-launch. 

Originally scheduled for September 2023, Paradox Interactive has moved Life by You's Early Access to March 5, 2024.

The additional time gives the development studio, Paradox Tectonic, the ability to improve the game’s visuals and UI. These improvements will not only affect the overall look and feel of the game but will make it a more well-rounded experience for players. Paradox Tectonic will also be fine tuning mod tools that will be available for all players to explore and create.

The player-community is at the core of Life by You, and their feedback is the core to many of the positive changes coming to Life by You’s Early Access.

All pre-orders previously include The Life Begins pack which includes the Jumpstart Fashion, Vehicle: Vintage Scooter, and Walls to Floors Decor packs. Additionally, Paradox Tectonic has added an extra bonus for all players for the start of Early Access, the Nightclub Vibe pack. All previous pre-order purchases will automatically be refunded through Epic. Any player that would like to still receive the pre-order bonuses, will need to re-purchase the pre-order ahead of Early Access on March 5, 2024.
