Revision 2

Announcement

Krafton announced the PlayStation 5 version of inZOI on August 13, 2025, via an official press release. The announcement confirmed a planned release in the first half of 2026. This will bring inZOI to consoles for the first time, expanding the life simulation beyond its PC (Windows) and macOS platforms.

The timing coincided with other major inZOI news in August 2025, including the macOS launch (August 20) and the Island Getaway DLC reveal at Gamescom Opening Night Live (August 19). The PS5 announcement was a separate press release, not part of the Gamescom presentation.

Release Window

The PlayStation 5 version is scheduled for H1 2026 (between January and June). As of March 2026, no specific date has been revealed. Krafton stated that "the official release date and additional details will be shared at a later time."

Expected Features

The PS5 version will be fully optimized for console, retaining all key systems and features from the PC experience. Krafton has confirmed that the port will include reworked controls designed for the DualSense controller and performance optimization for the PS5 hardware. The console version will support all the same gameplay systems: character creation, build mode, careers, relationships, and the full Cahaya island expansion.

Engine Upgrade Connection

In February 2026, the development team announced an upgrade from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.6. A beta branch test began on March 5, 2026, to verify stability. This engine upgrade is likely connected to the PS5 port, as UE 5.6 includes improved console rendering features and optimization tools. The June 2026 modding roadmap milestone specifically mentions "PS5 and Mac mod feasibility studies," confirming that mod support on PS5 is being explored.

Xbox Consideration

The official inZOI social media account stated that "an Xbox release is also under consideration, but not yet confirmed." No additional details about Xbox have been shared since the August 2025 announcement. The focus appears to be on completing the PS5 port first.
