**inZOI is not out on PS5 yet.** Krafton currently plans to release the PlayStation 5 version in the first half of 2027, with no exact date. It was first promised for the first half of 2026, then delayed on May 15, 2026. The PlayStation Store page lists the game as "Announced" with the release date to be determined, and you can only add it to your wishlist.

## Every PS5 date Krafton has given

| Date | What Krafton said |
| --- | --- |
| August 13, 2025 | Press release: inZOI will launch on PS5 in the first half of 2026, fully optimized for console, with the same key systems as on PC |
| January 2, 2026 | Roadmap: preparation for PS5 mod support listed as research, possibly restricted or delayed by policy and partnership terms |

| May 15, 2026 | "Update on inZOI for PlayStation 5": release now planned for the first half of 2027 |

No later inZOI news post on Steam has changed that window, up to the November 6, 2026 letter about the December update. The first half of 2027 means January to June 2027. Krafton has not said which month. For the separate question of online play, see the [multiplayer release date](/release-date) page.

## Why the PS5 version was delayed

In the May 15 letter, studio head Kjun explained that the PC game launched in Early Access on purpose, unfinished, so players could shape it. The team planned to do the same on console, then concluded that console players expect a complete, polished game from day one. So the PS5 version will not be an Early Access build. His reasons, summarized:

- Big cities full of autonomous Zois have to run on fixed console hardware.
- The game is being redesigned around the DualSense controller instead of keyboard and mouse, and for TV screens seen from the sofa.
- The PS5 version has to pass Sony's certification, which demands stability.
- Krafton wants the base game alone to feel complete on PS5, and wants the PS5 version to launch close to the PC version's content, not far behind it.

Many players replied that they preferred waiting to getting an unfinished port, and Kjun said the team agrees it is better to release on PS5 once the PC game is stable and more complete.

## What the PS5 version will have

- **Controller-first menus.** Menus and on-screen elements reworked so a gamepad can reach them comfortably.
- **Button remapping.** Gamepad key mapping is in preparation.
- **Keyboard and mouse.** Planned as an option on PS5 for players who prefer them.
- **DualSense features.** Fishing that uses the controller's features has been shown, and the store page lists vibration support.
- **Canvas.** The in-game sharing platform is being adapted for PS5.
- **The core game.** The store page describes over 250 options for creating a Zoi, building tools, cities inspired by real places and Unreal Engine 5 graphics.

Mods on PS5 are not promised: the roadmap says PS5 mod support may be restricted or delayed. Krafton also plans to post videos of the controller work and ask console players for feedback on Discord and the forum.

## Playing a life sim before 2027

inZOI runs today on Windows through Steam, where it is $39.99 with partial controller support, and on Apple silicon Macs through Steam and the Mac App Store. It is single-player on every platform; the [main page](/) covers multiplayer plans.

If you do not have a gaming PC, LifeSim is a free life simulator in the browser and on iPhone, with no download and nothing to buy. You can be anyone in any real city on Earth on a real 3D map, every person you meet is an AI character with a job, a home and a routine, and you can import a character from inZOI to start.
