inZOI System Specs Reveal Cost of Enhanced Graphics

inZOI, developed by Krafton, demands robust system specifications to deliver its high-quality graphics and immersive gameplay. On March 12, 2025, Krafton unveiled the game's system requirements and optimal settings, categorizing them into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. Let's delve into what each tier entails and how it impacts your gaming experience.

RTX 2060 as Its Minimum Graphics Requirement

At the minimum level, inZOI requires an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 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 needs an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or higher. Krafton justified this by stating, "inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly."

Moving up to the recommended settings, players need an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 for graphics, along with an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. For those aiming for the highest settings, an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 graphics card is necessary, coupled with an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU.

The game's trailers, powered by Unreal Engine 5, showcase its graphical prowess. Although inZOI is planned for release on PS5 and Xbox, the high system requirements suggest that significant optimization will be needed for console versions.

Graphics Comparison by System Specs

Krafton has released a video comparing the graphics across the different system specifications. The video highlights differences in lighting, textures, and color, with the highest PC specs offering the most visually stunning experience.

While the high system requirements might limit inZOI's initial player base compared to games like Sims 4, 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.

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 is yet to be announced. Stay updated with the latest on inZOI by visiting our dedicated page.
