inZOI News & Updates

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.
