inZOI runs on Unreal Engine 5 with advanced rendering features including Lumen global illumination, Nanite virtualized geometry, and Virtual Shadow Maps. The game is available on Windows PC and macOS, with a PlayStation 5 version planned for the first half of 2026.
Windows PC Requirements
inZOI offers four specification tiers on Windows, each providing a different balance of visual quality and performance.
Component | Minimum | Medium | Recommended | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
OS | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
CPU | Intel i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Intel i7-11700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D | Intel i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Intel i7-14700K / AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D |
GPU | RTX 2060 (6 GB) / RX 5600 XT (6 GB) | RTX 3060 / RX 6600 | RTX 3070 (8 GB) / RX 6800 XT (16 GB) | RTX 4080 / RX 7900 XTX |
RAM | 12 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 32 GB |
DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 |
Storage | 40 GB | 40 GB | 60 GB | 60 GB |
macOS Requirements
The macOS version launched on August 20, 2025, optimized for Apple Silicon processors. The game uses Metal for rendering and Core ML for AI features.
Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
OS | macOS Sequoia 15.0 | macOS Sequoia 15.0 |
Processor | Apple M1 | Apple M3 |
RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
Storage | 36 GB | 45 GB |
Apple M3 and M4 chips support hardware-accelerated ray tracing and HDR output. MetalFX Upscaling is available on all supported Apple Silicon processors for improved performance.
Smart Zoi AI Requirements
The Smart Zoi AI system uses a Small Language Model that runs entirely on-device. On Windows, it requires an NVIDIA GPU and is available at the Medium specification tier and above. On macOS, Smart Zoi uses Apple's Core ML framework and is available on all supported processors.
Graphics Technology
inZOI leverages several modern rendering technologies for its photorealistic visual style:
Technology | Description |
|---|---|
Lumen | Unreal Engine 5's global illumination and reflection system, providing real-time dynamic lighting |
Nanite | Virtualized geometry system that renders highly detailed meshes without traditional LOD management |
NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 | Deep Learning Super Sampling for frame generation and upscaling on NVIDIA GPUs |
AMD FSR 3 | FidelityFX Super Resolution for upscaling on AMD GPUs |
Intel XeSS | Xe Super Sampling for upscaling on Intel Arc GPUs |
Ray Tracing | Denoised Lumen output for global illumination, reflections, and shadows |
MetalFX Upscaling | Apple's upscaling technology for macOS performance optimization |
HDR | High Dynamic Range output support on compatible displays |
Performance Tips
Upscaling (DLSS, FSR, or XeSS) is strongly recommended for smooth performance at any resolution
Ray tracing is optional and has a significant performance cost; disable it on lower-end hardware
Reducing the simulation distance in settings can improve frame rates in densely populated areas
SSD storage is recommended for faster load times, though not strictly required
At 4K with maximum quality settings and DLAA on an RTX 5090, expect approximately 61 FPS
At 1080p with the same settings, expect approximately 91 FPS
Supported Languages
inZOI supports 13 languages with full interface and audio localization: English, Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), and Polish.
