inZOI Launches on PS5 Next Year for Console Fans

I’m sitting here, trying to wrap my head around this latest move by inZOI devs. Like, seriously, just days before gamescom 2025 kicks off, they drop this announcement bomb. So random, right? Just last week, they spilled the beans on their first DLC pack — and now this.

So, get this. Krafton and the folks behind our beloved life sim are giving us the scoop: it’s heading to PS5. Yep, PlayStation 5, here we come! Not sure why they bothered hyping its gamescom spot unless there’s hidden magic they aren’t showing us yet. Kind of feels like someone at the top just wanted to tease us a bit.

Details? They’re scarce, man. Basically, they’re saying, “Hey, it exists.” No dates, nothing. Maybe first half of 2026 if the stars align. Krafton’s been all about mirroring that same vibe on the PS5 — talking about optimizing it for the console and all that jazz.

But, let’s face it, controls could be a whole saga of their own. Can you imagine squeezing complex PC movements onto that little controller? They’re tweaking those control schemes, thankfully. Fingers crossed it doesn’t go haywire. Performance is also a priority for them, or so they say. Could be promising, I guess.

Oh, and the juicy bit: there’s this close-up pic of the game running on PS5. Looks slick, right? Props to inZOI Studio and Krafton for this visual treat.

Anyway, here’s another twist. inZOI’s chilling in Steam Early Access right now, but what about the PS5 launch? Is it going to follow the same path? PlayStation rarely goes early access, hmm… maybe they’ll launch a full 1.0 version on PC right when the PS5 drops.

And oh! Side note — spotted this: Krafton casually mentioned that Mac users aren’t left in the dust. August 20, mark your calendars! Alongside that Island Getaway DLC too. If you’re diving deep into inZOI, check out those cheat codes. They’re a riot.
