Is inZOI a Paid Game or Free to Play?

inZOI is not a free title; you will need to purchase it at full price when it is officially released.

It's important to note that EA eventually transitioned The Sims 4 to a free-to-play model, although its numerous expansion packs remain costly. This move may have created some uncertainty regarding inZOI's pricing, especially since a definitive price has not yet been listed on its Steam page. However, the developers have never indicated the game would be free. Given the game's impressive focus on realism and immersion, its status as a premium, paid experience is entirely expected.

At the time of this writing, the developers have not announced the final price on the Steam page. inZOI is scheduled to launch in early access on March 28, at which point more specific pricing details should become available.

As highlighted before, inZOI is a life simulation game with a steadfast commitment to realism and deep immersion. Crafting your character and guiding their life path seems to be an extensive process. A key distinction from The Sims is the ability to directly control your character and thoroughly interact with the surrounding world and its non-player characters. The level of detail showcased so far is remarkable, though its ultimate success in meeting player expectations is yet to be determined.

We hope this clarifies whether inZOI is free to play. For more guidance and updates on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
