InZOI Studio has announced that its life sim inZOI, which is currently only available as a Steam Early Access game on PC, will also be making its way to PS5. While the developer hasn’t confirmed the PS5 release date of the game, the title is slated to arrive some time in early 2026.
In its social media post announcing the PS5 release of inZOI, the studio has also said that the game might eventually make its way to Xbox Series X/S. However, far from being a done deal, inZOI Studio has noted that the Xbox version is currently “under consideration, but not yet confirmed.”
The announcement comes just days before inZOI is slated to get its big Island Getaway expansion on August 20. The expansion, themed around players going on a vacation, will introduce the island resort of Cahaya to the life sim. More details about Cahaya were revealed through an update to the inZOI official website earlier this month, including the fact that the resort is split into two distinct islands.
The larger of the two will serve as the main city for the expansion, while a smaller one off the coast of the larger one will be the Resort Island where Zois can go to relax after working hard in the main city. Some of the new activities that will be available in the game include ways to make money on the main island, such as by fishing, farming, and mining, as well as the ability for players to sell their wares with their own stands.
The Resort Island, on the other hand, will focus more on relaxation, with activities like swimming and snorkeling, riding a motorbike in the streets, visiting a cat-filled temple, and even just simply chilling out for a spa day at the resort itself.
The Island Getaway expansion will kick things off with an in-game event that invites players to “Make Your Own Cahaya”. The event, dubbed This is My Cahaya, involves players participating in the new activities coming to the game. The event is slated to kick off a few days before the launch of the expansion on August 15, and will end on August 24.
Director and producer Hyungjun Kim had revealed a few details about Cahaya back in June, and had spoken about the inspiration behind making the first major expansion for inZOI revolve around relaxation rather than more work.
“Cahaya is a city themed around ‘rest’,” explained Kim. “While developing inZOI has been a source of great joy for me, there are times when I feel the urge to get away from it all. Inspired by these feelings, I wanted to create a retreat for players exhausted by the motions of everyday life to unwind in.”
Kim also explained that the expansion won’t be bringing in complex career or education systems with it because those features wouldn’t mesh well with the relaxation-oriented themes of Island Getaway.
“As such, we’ve decided to exclude them from this city entirely,” he explained. “Players instead can enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle through activities such as farming or fishing. Improvements to the job system will be coming with the next city update.”
