[v0.5.0] Patch Notes: Run a Business, Turn to Crime, and Stand Trial

The December update landed on December 23, 2025, and it's the biggest expansion of what a Zoi can do since Early Access began. Your Zois can now run their own businesses, take up a life of crime, and — if caught — stand trial. On top of that: multitasking, group interactions, three new skills, and a limited-time Holiday Festival.

[v0.4.5] Hotfix Details

The last hotfix of November arrived on November 26, 2025, with a fix that matters to anyone who switched the day length back after v0.4.0 changed the default.

[v0.4.3] Hotfix Details

The November 11, 2025 hotfix is notable for a reversal: the inZOI team has undone one of v0.4.0's changes after players pushed back on it.

[v0.4.2] Hotfix Details

The first substantial cleanup pass on v0.4.0 landed on November 4, 2025, addressing a week's worth of reports about the Halloween events, funerals, and MY Textures.

Trick or Treat! Halloween Events Come to inZOI

Alongside the v0.4.0 update, the inZOI team has published a guide to the game's first Halloween season. The pitch is that it has two faces: pumpkin farming by day, and trick-or-treaters and ghost fish by night.

[v0.4.1] Hotfix Details

Hours after v0.4.0 went out, the inZOI team followed it with a small hotfix on October 30, 2025 — plus a warning that's arguably more important than the fixes themselves.

[v0.4.0] Patch Notes: Play as a Ghost, Halloween, and a 48-Minute Day

The October update arrived on October 30, 2025, and it is a big one. Death is no longer the end — Zois can carry on as ghosts, attend their own funerals, and unlock ghost-only skills. Alongside that, the whole mentality system has been rebuilt, and the default in-game day is now 48 minutes instead of 96.

ModKit Roadmap Update: Script Mods Switch to Lua and Slip to 2026

The inZOI team has published another revision to its ModKit roadmap — and this one carries the biggest change yet: script mods are being rebuilt around Lua instead of Blueprint, and won't arrive in 2025 at all.

[v0.3.6] Hotfix Details

The inZOI team shipped a bug-fix-only hotfix on September 11, 2025. There's no new content here, but it's a long list — and a few of these were the kind of bugs that quietly broke a save without you noticing.

[v0.3.5] Hotfix Details

The inZOI team pushed another round of Cahaya fixes on September 3, 2025. Two of them answer complaints players have been making since the Island Getaway launch: whale sharks were near-impossible to find, and the resort password interaction was locked to family members.

[v0.3.4] Hotfix Details

Applied August 29, 2025, this hotfix responds to one of the loudest pieces of post-launch feedback: Zois were dying far too often to the new natural disasters.

Canvas Rules: Creation Theft Prohibited, Auto-Moderation Explained

The inZOI team has issued guidelines for Canvas covering two separate problems: people stealing other Creators' work, and the automated moderation system flagging legitimate content by mistake.
