inZOI: Free-to-Play Game?

Developed by inZOI Studio and published by Krafton, inZOI is a promising life simulation game that's drawn comparisons to EA's The Sims. A common question is whether inZOI is free-to-play. The answer is no.

Is inZOI Paid or Free to Play?

inZOI is a paid game and will require a full purchase upon release. The free-to-play model of The Sims 4 (excluding paid expansion packs) may have led to some confusion, especially given the current lack of pricing on the Steam page. However, the developers have consistently presented inZOI as a paid title. Given the game's apparent dedication to realism and immersive gameplay, this isn't surprising.

While the price isn't yet listed on Steam at the time of writing, inZOI's early access launch is set for March 28th. More pricing details should be available then.

inZOI aims for a high level of realism and immersion in its life simulation gameplay. Character creation and pursuing aspirations seem deeply involved. Unlike The Sims, players will have active control over their characters and the ability to fully explore environments and interact with NPCs. The level of detail is impressive, though its final execution remains to be seen.

We hope this clarifies whether inZOI is free-to-play. For more gaming news and tips, check out The Escapist.
