Source: https://inzoimultiplayer.com/release-date

Last updated: 2026-11-10

**inZOI multiplayer has no release date.** As of November 10, 2026, Krafton has not named a day, a month or a test date. Its January 2026 roadmap set targets from January to October 2026, with a warning that they could change, and none has been released. The studio now says small-scale tests come next. The November 6 developer letter does not mention multiplayer.

## Every statement, in order

| Date | What Krafton said |
| --- | --- |
| December 31, 2025 | The second half of the 2026 roadmap will cover modding, multiplayer, AI NPCs and Canvastown, each handled by a dedicated team. |
| January 2, 2026 | The "inZOI-online" roadmap is published with monthly targets. The post warns that timelines and scope may change with test results. |
| January 2026 (reply to comments) | Multiplayer is built by a separate team, will not take resources from single-player, and is an optional feature. |
| March 27, 2026 | First anniversary letter: Canvastown will let players share save files as stories, playable alone or with a small group in a multiplayer session. A test build will come only after stability work. |
| May 8, 2026 | An update on multiplayer progress is promised "in the near future". |
| September 11, 2026 | Canvastown, a new game mode by a small team, will be shown at TapTap Game Fest in Shanghai. The studio head calls it a side project and says he will decide its future based on the event. |
| September 2026 (reply after the event) | The goal is an online life simulation where players live together in a town. Small-scale tests are planned. Features in testing include 20 or more players per town. |
| September 18, 2026 | Weekly letter returns to the main game after "a lot" of talk about multiplayer. |
| October 15, 2026 | v0.11.0 adds Lua script mods. No multiplayer in the patch. |
| November 6, 2026 | Weekly letter covers bugs, build mode and the December update. Multiplayer is not mentioned. |

All of these are posts by inZOI Studio on the game's Steam news feed. None contains a release date.

## The 2026 roadmap targets that passed

| Target | Planned step | Released? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| January 2026 | Account-linked personal Zoi; save and resume hosted sessions | No |
| February 2026 | Online main page, plaza and lobby on the web; online chat rooms | No |
| March 2026 | Decorate your house, save it to your account, let other users in to play together | No |
| June 2026 | Host tools for rules and participants; official mods in online multiplayer | No |
| October 2026 | Dedicated servers with hundreds to thousands of players per server | No |

The roadmap called these R&D items and said schedules could be altered or redirected after mid-stage tests. That is what happened: by September 2026 the public plan had become a small shared town with 20 or more players, to be tried in small-scale tests first.

## So when could it arrive?

Nobody can give an honest date, and Krafton has not tried to. What the record supports:

- **Tests come before release.** The studio says it will run several small-scale tests and decide direction from feedback. No test has been dated.
- **December 2026 is about the base game.** The next update is planned for December. The November 6 letter says that after it, the team may stop building new things for a while to fix bugs.
- **Console comes in 2027.** The PS5 version is planned for the first half of 2027. Krafton has not said whether it will have multiplayer.
- **The base game is still in Early Access.** Multiplayer has to follow every change to it.

Treat any site that prints a specific inZOI multiplayer release date as guessing. For modded shortcuts, see the [multiplayer mod page](/multiplayer-mod): there are none.

## Where a real date will be announced

- **The weekly letter.** The studio head posts most Fridays on Steam news, Discord and the official forum, and replies to comments mid-week. The Canvastown news arrived this way.
- **Patch notes.** A test or a mode would be listed in the notes of the update that carries it.
- **A sign-up.** Small-scale tests need testers, so expect an application post before anything playable.

The [main page](/) is updated when any of these change.

## A populated town you can play today

The appeal of online inZOI is neighbors with lives of their own. LifeSim offers that in a different way: it is a free life simulator in the browser and on iPhone where every person in a real city is an AI character with a job, a home, a routine and a memory of you. You can import a character from inZOI and start there.
