inZOI demands robust hardware for optimal performance, as Krafton unveiled the game’s detailed system requirements and settings. Explore inZOI’s hardware tiers and their impact on gameplay.
inZOI Unveils System Requirements for Optimal Play
RTX 2060 Sets Minimum Graphics Benchmark
Krafton, the developer behind inZOI, announced that players need advanced hardware for the best experience. On March 12, 2025, they shared system requirements on their website, dividing them into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High, each with tailored settings.
For minimum performance, players need an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX5600 GPU paired with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. This marks a significant jump from EA’s Sims 4, which runs on an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better. Krafton noted, "inZOI delivers stunning visuals and lifelike city simulations, requiring elevated hardware for smooth performance."
Recommended settings call for an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU with an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. For the ultimate experience, the High tier demands an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 GPU alongside an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU.
This aligns with inZOI’s use of Unreal Engine 5, as seen in its visually rich trailers. While Krafton plans to bring the game to PS5 and Xbox, console optimization may be necessary due to the game’s demanding specs.
Visuals Vary by Hardware Tier
Krafton released a video showcasing visual differences across hardware tiers, highlighting variations in lighting, textures, and colors. The High tier offers the most immersive visual experience.
Despite these options, inZOI’s steep hardware requirements may limit its initial reach compared to competitors like Sims 4. Krafton emphasized, "While these specs ensure top-tier gameplay, we’re dedicated to broadening inZOI’s accessibility." They plan to introduce auto-adjusting settings for optimal performance and promised ongoing optimizations to balance performance and quality.
A live stream showcase is set for March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on inZOI’s YouTube and Twitch channels, covering early access pricing, DLC, development plans, and fan queries.
inZOI enters early access on Steam on March 28, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A full release date remains unconfirmed. Visit our inZOI page for the latest updates.
