inZOI demands a powerful PC to run smoothly, as Krafton has detailed the game's system requirements and optimal settings. This article explores inZOI's system requirements and the visual differences between each hardware tier.
inZOI's System Requirements Revealed
Krafton announced inZOI's system requirements on March 12, 2025, categorizing them into Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High, each with corresponding optimal settings. The minimum requirements are surprisingly high: an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 GPU, and an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. This significantly surpasses the requirements of games like EA's Sims 4. Krafton explains this need for higher specs stems from inZOI's high-quality graphics and realistic city simulations.
Recommended settings jump to an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU and an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. High settings demand even more power, requiring an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 GPU and an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU.
This is unsurprising, given inZOI's impressive visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. While a console release is planned for PS5 and Xbox, significant optimization will likely be necessary to accommodate those platforms.
Graphics Comparison Across System Specs
Krafton has released a video showcasing the graphical differences between each tier. The video highlights noticeable improvements in lighting, textures, and color fidelity at higher settings, with the highest specs offering the best visual experience.
These high requirements might limit inZOI's initial player base compared to titles like Sims 4. However, Krafton assures players they are committed to improving accessibility. They plan to implement automatic setting adjustments and continue optimizing performance to lower requirements without sacrificing quality.
A live stream showcasing early access pricing, DLC, the development roadmap, and answering fan questions will air on March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on inZOI's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
inZOI enters early access on Steam on March 28th, with releases planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A full release date is yet to be announced. Stay updated on our inZOI page for the latest news.
