inZOI News & Updates

A single-item hotfix on April 10, 2026 — but a useful one if you're running inZOI on mid-range hardware.

A minimal hotfix on April 8, 2026 — crash fixes only, and Windows only.

A small hotfix on April 7, 2026, and one clarification that matters if you play with ageing disabled.

The March 31, 2026 hotfix cleans up the anniversary update's ageing and birthday systems — including one bug where NPCs were spontaneously turning into babies.

A quick follow-up to the anniversary update on March 27, 2026, mostly aimed at players returning to very old saves — a fairly likely group given the occasion.

Alongside the v0.7.0 anniversary update, the inZOI team has detailed this month's items — and the headline is that baby Zois can finally be dressed.

inZOI turned one on March 28, 2026, and the team is marking it by asking players where the game should go next.

One year of Early Access. The inZOI team's anniversary update deliberately isn't a pile of new features — their words: "rather than introducing many new features, our focus remains on making the game better." It's still enormous, and it finally delivers several things that had been sitting on the roadmap since 2025: custom keymapping, a Memories system, and face modding.

The Next Engine Preview beta branch that opened on March 5 closes with the March 26 update. The inZOI team has shared what the testing found, and when the engine change actually lands.

Ahead of the March 26 update, the inZOI team has issued a warning worth reading if you build: property sizes are being standardized, and two lots are getting smaller.

Another maintenance window for Canvas, the game's creation-sharing platform.

The inZOI team is moving the game to Unreal Engine 5.6, and rather than dropping it on everyone at once, they're opening a public beta branch first so players can test it.

A tidy-up hotfix on February 24, 2026, following the v0.6.0 mini update.

The inZOI team has detailed the new items arriving with the v0.6.0 mini update — a Lunar New Year set built around traditional aesthetics.

February 12's update is deliberately a mini update. The inZOI team is explicit about why: the main focus now is the "Fundamentals First" effort to improve the core of the game, with new content arriving in smaller increments alongside it.

The January 15, 2026 hotfix changes where drink mixing lives and dials back one of v0.5.0's rougher edges — Zois being arrested constantly over trivial crimes.

The first inZOI patch of 2026 arrived on January 9, and it's largely about making the new business system usable — starting with the fact that you no longer have to design a shop from scratch.

The last patch of 2025 arrived on December 30, and the headline is a rollback: Smart Zoi has been reverted to its October build after the December update broke it.

One day after v0.5.0, the inZOI team shipped a hotfix on December 24, 2025 targeting the update's two newest systems — businesses and the crime-and-trial loop.

Alongside the v0.5.0 update, the inZOI team has detailed this month's new items — a winter wardrobe and a large batch of festive decor.
