inZOI: Higher Graphics Quality Comes at a Cost

inZOI, developed by Krafton, demands robust system specifications to deliver a seamless gaming experience. On March 12, 2025, Krafton disclosed inZOI’s system requirements and optimal settings on their website, categorizing them into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. Dive into the details to understand what hardware you need for the best gameplay.

RTX 2060 as Its Minimum Graphics Requirement

Krafton has set the bar high for inZOI, requiring an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX5600 as the minimum graphics card, paired with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. This is a significant jump from the system requirements of EA's Sims 4, which only asks for an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or higher. Krafton justifies these specs, stating, "inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, necessitating higher system specifications for smooth performance."

For those aiming for the recommended settings, an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 graphics card, along with an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, is required. The highest settings elevate the demand to an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 graphics card, and a CPU like Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

The game's trailers, powered by Unreal Engine 5, showcase inZOI’s ambitious visual quality. While Krafton plans to bring inZOI to PS5 and Xbox, the high PC specs suggest that console versions may require further optimization.

Graphics Comparison by System Specs

Krafton has released a video comparing the graphics quality across different system specifications. The differences are noticeable in aspects like lighting, textures, and color, with the highest PC specs offering the most visually stunning experience.

While the demanding system requirements might initially limit inZOI's player base compared to competitors like Sims 4, Krafton is committed to broadening accessibility. They stated, "While these requirements ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we remain dedicated to making inZOI accessible to more players." They plan to implement an automatic settings adjustment feature and continue to work on optimizations to lower system requirements without sacrificing quality.

inZOI is set to have a live stream showcase on March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on its official YouTube and Twitch channels. This event will cover early access pricing, DLC details, the developmental roadmap, and address fan questions.

inZOI will enter early access on Steam on March 28, and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full release date is yet to be announced. Keep an eye on our inZOI page for the latest updates on the game.
