inZOI officially announced for PS5; Xbox release currently “under consideration”

While EA might be doing very little with The Sims IP, wanting to rest on its laurels with the now 10 year old SIms 4, other studios have come in to pick up the slack – with the Sims-like inZOI launching on Steam earlier this year to near-immediate sales success. Though currently still in Early Access, the team at inZOI Studio / Krafton have now confirmed that a PlayStation release is in the works (with an Xbox launch said to be “under consideration”).

Taking to Twitter to make the surprise announcement, the official ‘PlayinZOI’ page shared the following:

“We‘re excited to announce that inZOI is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 (PS5) in 2026. Our team is working hard to bring you the best possible experience on PS5.”

While the game has seen a bit of a mixed reception in recent months, inZOI managed to sell over 1 million copies in its first week on Steam, giving the team plenty of reasons to branch out to further platforms.

Interestingly however, an Xbox version may not come to pass, with the team stating that “An Xbox release is also under consideration, but not yet confirmed.”

Currently, it is unknown why the game may skip Xbox. In the past, we have seen some titles being delayed due to parity clauses regarding the lower-powered Xbox Series S. That said, it is also possible that the lesser market penetration of Xbox in general this generation is to blame for the current indecision.

inZOI is available to add to your PlayStation 5 wishlist right now.
