inZOI’s First DLC Introduces a New City with Summer Vacation Vibes, Free for All Players in Less Than Two Weeks

Life sim inZOI’s about to get its first DLC, and somehow, it’s less mysterious now—thanks, Krafton. The add-on, called Island Getaway, is free for everyone. Neat, right? Oh, and Mac users, it’s your lucky day. The game’s finally dropping on your devices too.

Now, back to Island Getaway—it’s hitting the scene on August 20. Funny story, it’s one day after its big reveal at gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19. Everyone thought it would be a surprise launch right after the show. But nope, Krafton spilled some of the beans early. Way to kill the suspense, guys.

So, this add-on—what’s it about? Picture a new map named Cahaya. Think Southeast Asian vibes, with two islands to explore. You’ll get new activities—swimming, snorkeling—totally makes sense on an island, huh?

But wait, there’s more! We’re talking farming, dressing up your characters in tropical outfits, new decorations, and hairstyles. I mean, who doesn’t want to look snazzy while lounging on a virtual beach, right?

I should mention, there’s a summer vibe going on here—makes you feel like you’re in a perpetual vacation mode. That’s pretty much how I want my life to be, if I’m honest.

And guess what? The update isn’t just about the islands. Farming, fishing, mining, gem crafting—these are going global across all maps. Plus, you’ll have electric scooters and motorcycles to zoom around. Kind of wish I had that in real life, minus the electricity bill.

Oh, and character interactions are getting revamped. Expect random gatherings, thought bubbles (imagine them over your head—how strange would that be?), and something called “cooperative actions.” These are meant to make spontaneous moments between Zois—whatever that means.

Quality of life updates are also on the menu. There’s improved UI, 90 new music tracks, and—drumroll—early gamepad support! It’s just in testing, but hey, baby steps.

So, mark August 20 on your calendars, folks. That’s not just when you can explore those sunny islands, but also when inZOI debuts on Mac. Find it on Steam and the App Store. Macs, welcome to the party!
