inZOI, developed by Krafton, sets a new standard for system requirements in the gaming world, ensuring players can enjoy its high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations. On March 12, 2025, Krafton unveiled the system requirements and optimal settings for inZOI, categorizing them into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. Let's dive deeper into what these requirements entail and how they impact your gaming experience.
RTX 2060 as Its Minimum Graphics Requirement
To run inZOI at its minimum settings, players need an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or an AMD Radeon RX 5600 for graphics, paired with a CPU like an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5. 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's rationale is clear: "inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly."
For those aiming for the recommended settings, an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800, along with an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, is necessary. The highest settings demand even more power, requiring an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900, and a CPU like the Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
These specifications are not surprising, given the impressive visuals showcased in inZOI's trailers, which leverage the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5. While there are plans to bring the game to PS5 and Xbox, the current PC requirements suggest that console versions will require significant optimization to match the PC experience.
Graphics Comparison by System Specs
Krafton has released a video that visually demonstrates the differences in graphics quality across the specified system tiers. The video highlights variations in lighting, textures, and color, with the highest PC specs delivering the most stunning visual experience.
Despite these high requirements, inZOI might not immediately attract the broad player base enjoyed by competitors like Sims 4 due to its demanding specs. However, Krafton is committed to broadening accessibility. They stated, "While these requirements ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we remain committed to making inZOI accessible to more players." They plan to introduce a feature that automatically adjusts game settings for optimal performance and are working on optimizations to lower system requirements without sacrificing quality.
inZOI will be showcased in a live stream on March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on the game's official YouTube and Twitch channels. This event will cover early access pricing, DLC, the developmental roadmap, and answer fan questions.
The game will launch in early access on Steam on March 28, and will also be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While a full release date remains undisclosed, you can stay updated on all things inZOI by visiting our dedicated page.
