Revision 4

Since its Early Access launch on March 28, 2025, inZOI has received continuous updates with new features, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements. Krafton and inZOI Studio have committed to regular updates throughout the Early Access period, with four major content updates delivered in 2025 and a shift to the "Fundamentals First" philosophy entering 2026.

2025 Update Timeline

Launch and v0.1.x Series (March to April 2025)

inZOI launched into Early Access on March 28, 2025, selling over one million copies in its first week and reaching a peak of 87,377 concurrent players on Steam. The initial release included two cities (Dowon and Bliss Bay), the Character Creation system with over 250 customization options, Build Mode, the core life simulation loop, and the Canvas UGC platform.

Update #1: Foundations (May 2025)

The first major content update introduced several community-requested features. Modding support arrived with a Mod Kit for Maya and Blender. The in-game cheats system was added through Psycat's Advice menu. The adoption system allowed Zois to adopt children. Body types now change based on Fitness routines and workout habits. Relationship interactions received improvements alongside various Create-a-Zoi and Build Mode updates.

v0.2.x Series (June 2025)

June brought incremental improvements including 175 new Build Mode items, ModKit hotfix patches, and various stability improvements. These updates focused on expanding the building toolset and fixing issues reported by the modding community.

Update #2: Island Getaway (August 2025)

The second major update was one of the largest in inZOI's Early Access history, introducing the game's first free DLC city. Kucingku, the Cat Island, is a tropical location inspired by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The update also added Ghost Play allowing deceased Zois to continue as spirits, Swimming and pools, an AI-powered Build Mode assistant, and Freelancer professions. The macOS version launched alongside this update on August 20, 2025, optimized for Apple Silicon.

Update #3 (October 2025)

The October update continued building on the foundation with additional content, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes across all three cities. Various v0.4.x hotfixes addressed specific issues reported by the community.

Update #4: Business and Beyond (December 2025)

The final major 2025 update was the largest yet, introducing the Business management system, allowing Zois to open and run cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and bars. Family Trees arrived alongside Multitasking, enabling Zois to perform multiple activities simultaneously. The Trial and Justice System expanded criminal gameplay. The Baking Skill was added for business owners. A Holiday Festival seasonal event brought festive content to all cities.

2026 Update Timeline

Fundamentals First Philosophy

On December 26, 2025, Game Director Hyungjun Kim published a "Fundamentals First" letter outlining a shift in development priorities for 2026. Rather than rushing new features, the team committed to polishing core systems, improving performance, fixing persistent bugs, and refining the gameplay experience based on community feedback. The 2026 Roadmap was released alongside this announcement.

v0.6.x Series (February 2026)

The v0.6.0 update arrived on February 12, 2026, coinciding with the Lunar New Year. This "mini update" focused on content additions rather than major system changes, adding 51 new Build Mode assets including stairs and pillars, 19 new character customization items including hairstyles and outfit sets, and continued the Fundamentals First approach with various bug fixes and stability improvements.

Currently in Development

As of February 2026, the development team has confirmed active work on several features:

• Infant care system improvements

• Camera controls with adjustable rotation, movement, and zoom speeds

• Automatic lighting that turns off when all household members sleep

• Conversation improvements to prevent Zois from prioritizing nearby seating

• Outfit management with makeup and hairstyle saving per situation, along with outfit locking

• Visual enhancements for high-end graphics and vehicle animations

• Emotion system updates for better relationship dynamics

• Animation variety with expanded bed and sleeping motions

• Floral design and bouquet creation

• Massage small business options

• Traditional outfit uniforms
