Greetings, Creators! inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly. While the minimum and recommended system requirements are already listed on our Steam page, we wanted to provide a more detailed and comprehensible breakdown of these specifications and how they might impact your gameplay experience. As such, we've categorized the system requirements into four tiers and provided the optimal game settings for each tier.
What are optimal settings?
Optimal settings ensure you experience the game on your current PC in the best possible way. Since inZOI was developed using Unreal Engine 5, adjusting the game's settings can lead to significantly different experiences, even on systems with identical specifications. Let's explore how different factors impact gameplay and which settings you'll need experience inZOI in the best way possible.
Which factors affect optimal settings?
Higher resolutions put more load on the GPU as they require rendering a greater number of pixels. For reference:
Higher resolutions also demand more VRAM, which can lead to shortages due to increased buffer sizes.
SSDs may also affect optimal settings by offering:
I'm not familiar with the technical details. How should I set up my settings?
We've prepared eight different preset options tailored to four system tiers and various gameplay preferences. The settings for the Recommended and High tiers are optimized for 4K monitors.
How It Looks In-Game
We understand that all of this might be a bit overwhelming. To give you a clearer idea of how these settings impact gameplay, we've prepared a video showcasing the game with each one applied!
Note: This footage was recorded during development and may differ from actual early access gameplay.
Our Commitment
As mentioned earlier, inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications. While these requirements ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we remain committed to making inZOI accessible to more players. We plan to implement a feature that automatically adjusts game settings to provide the best possible experience. Additionally, we will continue working on optimizations to improve performance while finding ways to lower system requirements without compromising overall quality.
Conclusion
inZOI is still in preparation for early access, which means there's room for improvement. Some aspects of the current version may feel somewhat limited in both quantity and quality. Our team is committed to enhancing the inZOI experience for Creators.
We truly appreciate your patience and continued support, and we look forward to seeing you in early access!
Thank you,

Higher resolutions put more load on the GPU as they require rendering a greater number of pixels. For reference:
- 1920×1080 (FHD) = 2,070,000 pixels
- 2560×1440 (QHD) = 3,680,000 pixels (about 1.77x more than FHD)
- 3840×2160 (4K) = 8,290,000 pixels (4x more than FHD!)
- Rendering in 4K requires four times the number of pixels as FHD, significantly increasing GPU processing load and reducing frame rates.
Higher resolutions also demand more VRAM, which can lead to shortages due to increased buffer sizes.
SSDs may also affect optimal settings by offering:
- Faster data transfer speeds than HDDs, leading to reduced loading times for maps and resources during gameplay
- Improved texture streaming to help reduce texture pop-ins and maintain high-quality graphics
- Fewer frame drops for a smoother gameplay experience
- Faster installation and update times
I'm not familiar with the technical details. How should I set up my settings?
We've prepared eight different preset options tailored to four system tiers and various gameplay preferences. The settings for the Recommended and High tiers are optimized for 4K monitors.
- Better Graphics: Maximizes the game's visual quality. May cause occasional frame drops and longer loading times.
- Better Simulations: Optimizes simulation speed and ensures smoother gameplay, but may reduce visual quality.
