inZOI News & Updates

The last patch of July, on July 30, 2026, dealing with a couple of immersion-breakers.

Another maintenance window for Canvas.

The July 15, 2026 hotfix continues the run of autonomy repairs that started with v0.9.4 — including Zois failing to feed themselves and ignoring fires.

The July 9, 2026 hotfix pulls a feature rather than fixing it — automatic meal preparation is temporarily removed while the team reworks it.

The first patch of July, on July 1, 2026, still working through the high school update.

A substantial cleanup of the high school update on June 25, 2026 — including one fix that reveals an awkward interaction between two systems.

The v0.9.0 update makes high school playable, and the item drop follows suit — club uniforms, graduation robes, and 115 objects to fill a campus with.

Hours after v0.9.0 went out, a hotfix on June 19, 2026 patched the new school system's most obvious problem — Zois not turning up for exams.

June 19's update makes high school playable — classes, tests, clubs, lockers, prom, graduation, the lot. It also quietly does something with much wider reach: Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics are now supported, which changes who can run the game at all.

A heads-up for outfit mod creators: a Character LOD3 change on June 18 can make older outfit mods look broken. The fix is straightforward, but it does require action.

The last patch of May, on May 28, 2026, with a needs rebalance and a settings fix for something that had been quietly doing nothing.

A small quality-of-life hotfix on May 15, 2026 — and a welcome one if you've ever started a long interaction by mistake.

A short but consequential hotfix on May 13, 2026 — one of these fixes affects the core of the simulation.

The May 11, 2026 hotfix deals with a genuinely disruptive bug — NPCs multiplying without limit in some areas.

A short hotfix on May 2, 2026, still cleaning up after the Unreal Engine 5.6 move.

One day after the v0.8.0 update, a hotfix on April 30, 2026 cleaning up the new career system and the new Build Mode multi-select.

With inZOI moving to Unreal Engine 5.6 in the v0.8.0 update, CurseForge mods need migrating too — and there's a window where your mods will look broken.

April 29's update is the one where work becomes a real system. Six new careers with job interviews, team projects, paid leave, retirement and pensions — plus freelance jobs, which have been on the roadmap since May 2025. And underneath all of it, inZOI now runs on Unreal Engine 5.6.

The v0.8.0 update brings a formalwear collection and a large antique-leaning furniture drop — 219 items in total, and the build side of it is the biggest single batch inZOI has had.

The results of the 1st Anniversary Survey are in. The inZOI team has published the 50 winners of the Anniversary Gift Box, as partially masked email addresses.
