inZOI System Requirements Show the Price of Higher Quality Graphics

Krafton has announced the system requirements for their upcoming title, inZOI, revealing a need for significantly higher-end hardware than many comparable games. This article details the requirements and what players can expect at each tier.

inZOI System Requirements Unveiled

Announced on March 12, 2025, inZOI's system requirements are categorized into four levels: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. Each tier offers a distinct level of graphical fidelity.

The minimum specifications demand an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 GPU, paired with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. This is considerably higher than the requirements for games like The Sims 4. Krafton attributes this to inZOI's high-fidelity graphics and realistic city simulations.

Moving up to the recommended settings requires an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU and an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. For the highest graphical settings, players will need an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 GPU, along with an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. These high requirements are unsurprising, given inZOI's use of Unreal Engine 5 and the impressive visuals showcased in trailers. While a console release is planned for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, significant optimization will likely be necessary.

Visual Differences Across System Specs

Krafton has released a video comparison highlighting the differences in lighting, textures, and color across the various system requirement tiers. The highest specifications deliver a vastly superior visual experience.

The high system requirements may limit inZOI's initial player base compared to titles with lower barriers to entry. However, Krafton assures players they are committed to improving accessibility. They plan to implement automatic setting adjustments and continue optimizing the game to reduce requirements without compromising visual quality.

A live stream showcasing inZOI's early access pricing, DLC, roadmap, and answering fan questions will take place on March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on inZOI's official YouTube and Twitch channels.

inZOI launches into early access on Steam on March 28, 2025, with releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A full release date is yet to be announced. Visit our inZOI page for the latest updates.
