inZOI is a life simulation game where the player can alter any aspect of their world to create unique stories and experiences. Just like in the real world, you can find jobs to make a living while forming deep relationships through interactions. With a complete community simulation of every character acting on their free will, you can experience unexpected events to feel the various emotions life has to offer. With inZOI, we hope to share the message that "life itself is the true gift, and every journey has its own meaning."

inZOI provides a variety of creative tools, so that players can visualize the life they've always dreamed of. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game's realistic graphics allows the players to let their imagination run free, with easy creation of different resources. Customize your character's appearance and outfit and build your custom home using a wide selection of freely-movable furniture and structures. You can also adjust different parts of your property and surrounding roads as well as aspects of your residing city for a fully customizable experience.

inZOI is coming to Steam Early Access on March 27 (or 28th depending on your timezone) at $39.99.

During the Early Access period inZOI will receive several planned updates (every 3 months) and free DLCs, starting with a mod tool (to adjust your Zois' physical attributes as well as new furniture and outfits) in May, followed by the Kucingku Cat Island in August (possible coinciding with International Cat Day which is on August 8th), followed shortly by another DLC adding ghost play, swimming/pools, AI supported Build Mode and more. October will see the 3rd DLC adding Mod updates, Build Mode & Create A Zoi improvements, Family tree, new furniture and more.

All these updates/DLCs will be free.

inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly.

PC System Requirements

Minimum:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10/11
• Processor: Intel i5 10400, AMD Ryzen 3600
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2060 (8G VRAM), AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 60 GB available space

Recommended:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10/11
• Processor: Intel i7 12700, AMD Ryzen 5800
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 3070 (8G VRAM), AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 75 GB available space

While the minimum and recommended system requirements are already listed, we wanted to provide a more detailed and comprehensible breakdown of these specifications and how they might impact your gameplay experience.  As such, we've categorized the system requirements into four tiers and provided the optimal game settings for each tier. 

Optimal Settings

What are optimal settings?

Optimal settings ensure you experience the game on your current PC in the best possible way. 

Since inZOI was developed using Unreal Engine 5, adjusting the game's settings can lead to significantly different experiences, even on systems with identical specifications. 

Let's explore how different factors impact gameplay and which settings you'll need experience inZOI in the best way possible. 

Which factors affect optimal settings? 

Higher resolutions put more load on the GPU as they require rendering a greater number of pixels. 

For reference:

• 1920×1080 (FHD) = 2,070,000 pixels
• 2560×1440 (QHD) = 3,680,000 pixels (about 1.77x more than FHD)
• 3840×2160 (4K) = 8,290,000 pixels (4x more than FHD!)
• Rendering in 4K requires four times the number of pixels as FHD, significantly increasing GPU processing load and reducing frame rates.  Higher resolutions also demand more VRAM, which can lead to shortages due to increased buffer sizes.

SSDs may also affect optimal settings by offering:

• Faster data transfer speeds than HDDs, leading to reduced loading times for maps and resources during gameplay
• Improved texture streaming to help reduce texture pop-ins and maintain high-quality graphics
• Fewer frame drops for a smoother gameplay experience
• Faster installation and update times

I'm not familiar with the technical details. How should I set up my settings?

We've prepared eight different preset options tailored to four system tiers and various gameplay preferences. 

The settings for the Recommended and High tiers are optimized for 4K monitors. 

	Minimum	Medium	Recommended	High
Better Graphics	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - On Preset - Low	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - On Preset - Medium	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Balance Ray Tracing - On Preset - High	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Quality Ray Tracing - On Preset - Ultra High
Better Performance	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Ultra Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Very Low	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Low	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Medium	NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Balance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - High

• Better Graphics: Maximizes the game's visual quality. May cause occasional frame drops and longer loading times. 
• Better Simulations: Optimizes simulation speed and ensures smoother gameplay, but may reduce visual quality.

How It Looks In-Game

We understand that all of this might be a bit overwhelming. 

To give you a clearer idea of how these settings impact gameplay, we've prepared a video showcasing the game with each one applied!

Our Commitment

As mentioned earlier, inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications. 

While these requirements ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we remain committed to making inZOI accessible to more players.  

We plan to implement a feature that automatically adjusts game settings to provide the best possible experience. 

Additionally, we will continue working on optimizations to improve performance while finding ways to lower system requirements without compromising overall quality.
