inZOI Launching on PS5 Next Year: A Chance for Console Gamers to Experience It

Alright, buckle up, ’cause I’m about to spill some thoughts on this whole inZOI thing. It’s like the developers couldn’t wait to leak all their secrets just before gamescom 2025 kicks off. I mean, a week ago, they were yapping about their first DLC pack—big whoop—and now, here they are, dropping the news that this life sim is making its way to the PlayStation 5.

What’s even the point of hyping up their gamescom reveal if they’re just gonna blurt it all out early? Unless—and this is me speculating wildly—there’s some gigantic bombshell they haven’t let slip yet. Either way, their PS5 announcement is pretty much, “Hey, we’re doing this.” No frills, no fanfare.

Oh, they didn’t pin down a release date, just that it’s sliding onto PS5 in the first half of 2026. Krafton’s saying they wanna give PS5 players the same vibes but, like, “optimised for console,” whatever that means. Controls might be a bit tricky, considering the jump to a controller, but they’re supposedly on it. Performance is another biggie they’re focusing on, which—fingers crossed—should be good news.

I saw this picture of the game running on PS5, and it kinda got me thinking—do the graphics always look this slick, or was I just not paying attention before? Anyway, here’s another curveball: inZOI’s chilling in Steam Early Access right now, and who knows if that’s how it’ll roll onto PS5. Usually, Sony’s not big on early incomplete game versions, so maybe it’s going full release when it lands.

Oh, and here’s something else—missed this, did ya?—but Krafton’s also bringing the game to Mac OS on August 20. Yeah, that’s the same day that Island Getaway DLC drops. If you’re digging into more inZOI wizardry, there’s a treasure trove of cheats (and how to use ’em) waiting for you.
