inZOI Arrives on PS5 Next Year: A Chance for Console Players to Experience It

Wow, so before things even kick off at gamescom 2025, those inZOI guys are just spilling all the beans. Can we talk about timing? Just last week, they tossed out info about their first-ever DLC. Exciting, right? Anyway — no, wait, fast forward. Today, they’re saying the game’s hitting PS5.

Okay, so picture this: It’s kinda weird they’re making a big fuss about showing up at gamescom, unless they’re hiding some mega-secret news. Or maybe they’re just trying to keep us guessing. Anyway, today’s announcement was like super brief. Basically, they said, hey, this thing exists on PS5. No magic tricks, just the facts.

Now, don’t hold your breath for a release date, because, well, they’ve said first half of 2026. But hey, they’re saying the experience will be the same, all “optimised for console” — sounds fancy, huh?

And then there’s the whole controls drama. You know, the usual hassle, figuring out how to make stuff work right with a controller instead of a bazillion keyboard keys. Oh, and they’re all about making it perform well. Fingers crossed.

Oh yeah, random side note — they showed us a snap of the game on PS5. Not gonna lie, it looks sleek. Check it out! Image credits to inZOI Studio, Krafton.

So here’s the twist, inZOI’s in Steam Early Access right now. No word if the PS5 version will start early like that, but it’s a rare move for PlayStation stuff, so who knows? Might be a simultaneous PC and PS5 party when inZOI hits its 1.0 release.

And another thing — if you’re on Mac, August 20 is your day. Mac OS release plus the Island Getaway DLC? Boom, mark your calendar. And if you’re into game cheats, they’ve got an updated list. Go dig into that if you’re curious.
