- thumb|right William Ralph Wright urodził się w 1960 roku w Atlancie w stanie Georgia, gdzie mieszkał do dziewiątego roku życia, aż do momentu gdy zmarł jego ojciec. Wtedy Will wraz z matką przenieśli się do rodzinnego domku w Baton Rouge w Luizjanie. Po ukończeniu szkoły średniej, w wieku szesnastu lat William postanowił kontynuować naukę na Louisiana State University, później przeniósł się na Louisiana Tech, a następnie na The New School w Nowym Jorku. Rozpoczął studia na kierunku architektonicznym, następnie przenosząc się na inżynierię mechaniczną, na informatyce wraz z robotyką kończąc. Po pięciu latach spędzonych w college'u Wright zakończył swoją edukację. Podczas wakacji spotkał swoją przyszłą żonę, Joellę Jones, artystkę, która przyjechała do Luizjany z Kalifornii. W wywiadzie z lutego 2003 roku Will Wright powiedział, że tworzenie gier zajmowało mu tak dużo czasu, że zdecydował się na tym zarobić. Pierwszą grą Wrighta była gra akcji Raid on Bungeling Bay (1984) na komputer domowy Commodore 64. Wright stwierdził również, że więcej zabawy przynosi mu tworzenie poziomów za pomocą edytora poziomów dla Raid on Bungeling Bay, niż sama rozgrywka. Stworzył kolejną grę, która później wyewoluowała w SimCity, lecz miał problemy ze znalezieniem wydawcy. Gra po części była zainspirowana pracą dwóch teoretyków budowlanych, Christophera Alexandra i Jaya Forrestera. W roku 1986 Wright spotkał Jeffa Brauna, inwestora, który zainteresował się przemysłem gier komputerowych. Rok później utworzyli firmę Maxis z siedzibą w Walnut Creek w Kalifornii. Gra SimCity (1989) okazała się hitem i została okrzyknięta jednym z produktów mających największy wpływ na tworzenie innych gier. Po sukcesie SimCity, Wright zaprojektował gry SimEarth (1990) oraz SimAnt (1991). Współtworzył również grę SimCity 2000 (1993) wraz z Fredem Haslamem i w międzyczasie stworzył kilka innych gier mających w nazwie cząstkę "Sim". Następną grą zaprojektowaną przez Wrighta był SimCopter (1996). Mimo że żadna z tych gier nie odniosła takiego sukcesu jak SimCity, każda z nich umacniała pozycję Wrighta jako projektanta tzw. "software toys" – gier, w których nie można wygrać lub przegrać. W 1992 Wright wraz z rodziną przeniósł się do Orinda w Kalifornii. W 1995 roku Maxis wszedł na giełdę amerykańską z dochodem 38 milionów dolarów amerykańskich. Akcje osiągnęły poziom pięćdziesięciu dolarów lecz później zaczęły spadać, gdy Maxis zaczął odnotowywać straty. W czerwcu 1997 roku Maxis został wykupiony przez Electronic Arts. Od początku lat 90. Wright myślał o stworzeniu wirtualnego domu dla lalek, podobnego do SimCity, skupiającego się jednak na konkretnych jednostkach a nie na zarządzaniu całym miastem. Początkowo Wright stworzył pomysł komputerowego projektanta wnętrz o nazwie Home Tactics, lecz zmienił założenia gry, gdy podpowiedziano mu, że powinien bardziej skupić się na przeżyciach wirtualnych domowników. Sprzedanie tego pomysłu właścicielowi Electronic Arts okazało się bardzo trudne, ponieważ już 40% pracowników Maxis zostało zwolnionych. W lutym 2000 roku Electronic Arts wydało grę The Sims, która okazała się największym dotąd sukcesem Wrighta. The Sims prześcignęło grę Myst jako najlepiej sprzedającą się grę komputerową wszech czasów, doczekało się również wielu dodatków i kolejnych edycji. Wright zaprojektował także wersję gry typu MMO nazwaną The Sims Online, która jednak nie okazała się tak popularna jak jej wersja singleplayerowa. W 2001 roku Wright otrzymał nagrodę Lifetime Achievement Award przyznaną mu podczas Game Developers Choice Awards. W 2002 roku został piątą osobą umieszczoną w Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame. W roku 2005 był jedyną osobą uhonorowaną obydwoma tymi tytułami. Will Wright został uznany jedną z najważniejszych osób w przemyśle gier komputerowych, w technologii oraz w rozrywce przez redaktorów czasopism i portali takich jak Entertainment Weekly, Time, PC Gamer czy GameSpy. Za wprowadzenie na rynek masowy gier symulacyjnych Wright został wyróżniony w styczniu 2005 roku przez czasopismo PC Magazine nagrodą Lifetime Achievement Award. Podczas prezentacji 11 marca 2005 roku na konferencji Game Developers Conference Wright zapowiedział swoją najnowszą grę Spore. Aktualnego projektu użył w celu zademonstrowania sposobów na redukcję ilości potrzebnych materiałów końcowych przez projektantów gier. Wright ma nadzieję zainspirować kolejne osoby do podejmowania ryzyka jakim jest tworzenie gier. W wolnym czasie zbiera niepotrzebne już nikomu elementy używane niegdyś w radzieckich programach kosmicznych i buduje wraz z córką roboty bitewne do programu BattleBots.

- n 1986, he met Jeff Braun, an investor interested in entering the computer game industry, at what Wright calls "the world's most important pizza party." Together they formed Maxis the next year in Orinda, California. SimCity was a hit and has been credited as one of the most influential computer games ever made. Following on the success of SimCity, Wright designed SimEarth (1990) and SimAnt (1991). He co-designed SimCity 2000 with Fred Haslam and in the meantime Maxis produced other "Sim" games. Wright's next game was SimCopter (1996). Although none of these games were as successful as SimCity, they further cemented Wright's reputation as a designer of "software toys" — games that cannot be won or lost. In 1992, Wright and his family moved to Orinda, California near the San Pablo Reservoir, off Miner Road. Maxis went public in 1995 with revenue of USD$38 million. The stock reached $50 a share and then dropped as Maxis posted a loss. Electronic Arts bought Maxis in June 1997 . Wright had been thinking about making a virtual doll house ever since the early 90s, similar to SimCity but focused on individual people. Originally conceived of as an architectural design game called Home Tactics, Wright's idea changed when someone suggested the player should be rated on the quality of life experience by the homeowners. It was a difficult idea to sell to EA, because already 40% of Maxis's employees had been laid off. EA published The Sims in February 2000 and it became Wright's biggest success yet. It eventually surpassed Myst as the best-selling computer game of all time and spawned numerous expansion packs and other games. He designed a massively multiplayer version of the game called The Sims Online, which was not as popular as the original. Wright was given a "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Game Developers Choice Awards in 2001 . In 2002, he became the fifth person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame. Until 2006, he was the only person to have been honored this way by both of these industry organizations. He has been called one of the most important people in gaming, technology, and entertainment by publications such as Entertainment Weekly, Time, PC Gamer, Discover and GameSpy. For bringing simulations to the mass market, Wright was awarded the PC Magazine Lifetime Achievement Award in January 2005 . In a presentation at the Game Developers Conference on March 11, 2005, he announced his latest game Spore. He used the current work on this game to demonstrate methods that can be used to reduce the amount of content that needs to be created by the game developers. Wright hopes to inspire others to take risks in game creation. Spore was released on September 5, 2008 - its official and wikia sites.

In 1987, Wright and Jeff Braun co-founded Maxis and were able to publish SimCity. Wright was instrumental in the development of two sequels, SimCity 2000 (1994) and SimCity 3000 (1999), both developed through Maxis.
