inZOI Is Almost Here – Everything You Need to Know Before Early Access Launch

The highly anticipated life simulation game inZOI is on the verge of its early access debut, and fans of the genre are buzzing with excitement. Developed by Krafton—the studio behind PUBG—inZOI shifts focus from battle royale to creative, immersive simulation. With deep character customization, complex building tools, and lifelike gameplay systems, inZOI aims to set a new standard for simulation games.

The official early access release is set for March 28, but players won’t have to wait until then to get a taste. Krafton has already rolled out inZOI: Creative Studio, a standalone preview that offers a hands-on experience with the game’s powerful creation tools.

When Does inZOI Release?

inZOI launches in early access on Friday, March 28 at 00:00 UTC, exclusively on Steam as a digital release. There’s no official word yet on console versions for PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, meaning console players may have to wait a bit longer. Thanks to global time zone differences, some players—especially in North and South America—can start playing as early as March 27.

Here’s a breakdown of the exact release times by region:

inZOI: Creative Studio – Available Now

Ahead of the full launch, Krafton released inZOI: Creative Studio, giving players early access to two major features: "Create a Zoi" (character creation) and "Build Mode" (construction and design). This standalone tool is now available exclusively on Steam.

Originally, access was limited to players who earned keys through Twitch and other partner platforms between March 20 and March 22 via Drop rewards. However, from March 23 to March 27, Creative Studio has been open to everyone, no key required.

This open access period allows players to experiment with the game’s creative systems and even pre-create their characters and builds, which can be carried over when early access officially begins on March 28.
