inZOI, developed by Krafton, sets a new standard for system requirements to ensure an optimal gaming experience. On March 12, 2025, Krafton disclosed the detailed system specifications and optimal settings for inZOI, categorizing them into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. This article dives into the specifics of inZOI's system requirements and explores how these specs impact the game's visual quality.

RTX 2060 as Its Minimum Graphics Requirement

Krafton has set the bar high with inZOI's system requirements, aiming to deliver unparalleled graphics and realistic city-level simulations. At the minimum level, players need an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX5600 for graphics, paired with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. This is a significant step up from the system requirements of EA's Sims 4, which only asks for an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or higher.

Krafton justifies these requirements by stating, "inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly." For those aiming for 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 an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 for graphics, and an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for the CPU.

Given the game's use of Unreal Engine 5, as showcased in its trailers, these requirements are expected. While inZOI is planned for release on PS5 and Xbox, the game's heavy-duty specs suggest that console versions may require further optimization.

Graphics Comparison by System Specs

Krafton has released a video comparing the graphics quality across the different system specifications. The video highlights noticeable differences in lighting, textures, color, and overall visual fidelity, with the highest PC specs offering the most immersive experience.

Although the high system requirements might limit the game's initial player base compared to competitors like Sims 4, Krafton is committed to broadening accessibility. They mentioned, "While these requirements ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we remain committed to making inZOI accessible to more players." To achieve this, they plan to implement automatic game setting adjustments and continue optimizing performance 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 the game's official YouTube and Twitch channels. This event will cover early access pricing, details on DLC, the developmental roadmap, and answer fan questions.

inZOI will launch in early access on Steam on March 28, and will also be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full release date remains undisclosed. For the latest updates on inZOI, be sure to check our dedicated page.
