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

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.

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.

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.

A smaller hotfix on November 19, 2025, mostly aimed at UI problems that appeared when loading existing saves after v0.4.0.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A single-issue hotfix on August 25, 2025, build 20250825.6945.W for Windows PC (Steam).

Two days after launch, August 22, 2025 brought a broader hotfix — most of it aimed at City Trips, the new travel system that has become the update's biggest source of problems.

A hotfix landed the same day as the Island Getaway launch, on August 20, 2025, cleaning up the first issues found in the new systems.

The August update is comfortably the largest inZOI has had. Alongside the free inZOI: Island Getaway DLC, v0.3.0 brings the game to Mac, lets Zois travel between cities, and adds swimming, fishing, farming, mining, loans, insurance and 14 vehicles. It went live on August 20, 2025.
