inZOI System Requirements Show the Price of Higher Quality Graphics
inZOI, the highly anticipated new game, demands a powerful PC to run smoothly, as Krafton has detailed its system requirements and corresponding graphics quality. Let's break down the specs needed for optimal performance.
inZOI System Requirements Unveiled
Krafton, on March 12, 2025, categorized inZOI's system requirements into four tiers: Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. Each tier dictates the graphical fidelity and overall performance. The minimum requirements are significantly higher than some competitors. To run inZOI at minimum settings, you'll need at least an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 graphics card, paired with an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor. Krafton explains this higher bar is due to the game's high-quality graphics and realistic city simulations.
Moving up the tiers, the Recommended settings require an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800, alongside an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 processor. For the highest graphical fidelity (High settings), you'll need an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900, coupled with an Intel i7 14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. This high-end requirement reflects the game's utilization of Unreal Engine 5.
While console releases on PS5 and Xbox are planned, significant optimization will likely be needed given the demanding PC specifications.
Graphics Comparison Across System Specs
Krafton has released a video showcasing the visual differences between each system requirement tier, highlighting variations in lighting, textures, and color. Naturally, the highest-end PCs deliver the most visually impressive experience.
The high system requirements might limit inZOI's initial player base compared to titles with lower entry barriers, but Krafton assures players they are working on optimizations to improve performance and potentially lower future requirements without sacrificing quality. They also plan to implement automatic game setting adjustments for optimal performance based on individual systems.
A live stream showcasing early access pricing, DLC, the developmental roadmap, and answering fan questions will take place on March 19, 2025, at 01:00 UTC on inZOI's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
inZOI enters early access on Steam on March 28th, with releases planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full release date is yet to be announced. Stay updated on our inZOI page for the latest news.
