Upcoming Life Sim inZOI Faces Backlash Over Demanding PC Requirements

The Sims competitor, launching in Early Access on March 28, requires high-end hardware, leaving many fans concerned about accessibility.

inZOI, a highly anticipated life simulation game, is set to launch in Early Access on March 28 but has stirred controversy with its steep PC hardware requirements.
The minimum specs call for an Intel i5 10400/AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 12GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060/RX 5600 XT GPU, which many casual gamers find prohibitive.
Higher graphics presets demand cutting-edge hardware, such as a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 4080, raising concerns about accessibility for life sim fans with older PCs.
Developers have emphasized the use of Unreal Engine 5 and advanced upscaling technologies like DLSS and FSR to deliver hyper-realistic graphics and city-level simulations.
Krafton has promised ongoing optimization efforts and future console support, but many fans worry they may be excluded from experiencing the game at launch.
