Developed and published by Krafton, *inZOI* is emerging as a formidable contender in the realm of hyperrealistic life simulation games, poised to challenge the dominance of *The Sims*. If you're eager to know when you can dive into *inZOI*, here's all the latest information you need.
Mark your calendars: *inZOI* is set to enter early access on Steam on March 28, 2025. This is when PC gamers will get their first chance to experience the game. Console enthusiasts, however, will need to exercise a bit more patience, as there's currently no confirmed release window for PlayStation or Xbox. Keep in mind, given its early access status, *inZOI* might still have some rough edges to smooth out initially.
In anticipation of the early access launch, from August 21 to August 26, players had the opportunity to download the character studio. This allowed them to tinker with *inZOI*'s comprehensive character creator and craft their own ZOI. With stunning graphics and a plethora of customization options, it's exciting to see the creative possibilities players will explore.
Similar to *The Sims*, *inZOI* lets players create and control avatars that navigate and interact with the game world, managing essential needs like hunger and sleep. However, *inZOI* sets itself apart by offering a more immersive life simulation experience. Players can freely explore environments beyond their virtual homes and engage with almost every NPC they encounter. The game features three distinct worlds for players to inhabit and customize: Dowon, inspired by Seoul; Bliss Bay, reminiscent of Los Angeles; and Cahaya, drawing inspiration from Indonesia.
That wraps up everything you need to know about *inZOI*'s upcoming release. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
