inZOI Launching on PS5 Next Year: Play It Without a High-End PC

Alright, so here’s the latest scoop on that inZOI game, right before gamescom 2025 kicks off, because duh, why wouldn’t they spill the beans early? I mean, it was only a week ago (time flies, huh?) that we heard about the game’s first-ever DLC pack. And now, boom, it’s hopping onto the PlayStation 5 train. Seriously, these announcements keep dropping like confetti at a parade.

So here’s the big reveal—or is it a reveal if everyone sort of saw it coming? Anyway, Krafton and their life sim creation are getting all cozy with the PS5. Not sure why they’re jazzed up about gamescom appearance unless there’s a secret they’re clinging to. But hey, the PS5 thing is more like a, “Yep, we’re doing it.” Short and sweet, kind of like a “just so you know” text.

Now, no dates yet for when it’s actually landing on PS5, but they’re talking first half of 2026. Fingers crossed. Apparently, it’s going to be “optimised for console”—whatever that means in dev-speak. The controls are being rethought, which makes sense because, let’s face it, controllers aren’t exactly keyboards. Performance is also a major thing they’re focusing on, which gives me the warm fuzzies.

Oh, and check out this pic of it running on PS5! It’s like your first chance to peek through the virtual window of what’s coming, even though it looks suspiciously like what we’ve already seen, just on new hardware.

By the way, inZOI is doing the Steam Early Access dance right now. No word if it’ll do the same for PS5. Kinda rare to see Early Access stuff happening on PlayStation, so who knows? Maybe PC’s version 1.0 will drop with the PS5 release. Maybe not. It’s one of those wait-and-see things.

Oh, and don’t go snoozing on the fact that Krafton also spilled about the game hitting Mac OS on August 20. Right when the Island Getaway DLC makes its big splash. In case you’re into Mac gaming. Oh, cheats? Yeah, they’re updating that list, so keep your eyes peeled.

And that’s about it for now. Kind of a winded way to say, “See you on PS5,” but we’re here for the ride, right?
