inZOI: Free-to-Play Game?

Developed by inZOI Studio and published by Krafton, inZOI is a highly anticipated life simulation game poised to challenge EA's The Sims. Many are wondering about its pricing model. Here's the answer:

Is inZOI Paid or Free to Play?

inZOI is a paid game. You will need to purchase it at full price upon release.

The fact that EA made The Sims 4 free-to-download (though expansions remain paid) may have led to some confusion. However, the developers of inZOI have never indicated it would be free. Given the game's apparent commitment to realism and immersive gameplay, a paid model is not surprising.

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

inZOI offers a deeply realistic and immersive life simulation experience. Character creation and aspiration management seem substantial, surpassing the typical Sims experience. Unlike The Sims, players will have more active control over their characters and environments, interacting fully with NPCs. The level of detail is impressive, though its final execution remains to be seen.

We hope this clarifies inZOI's pricing. For more gaming news and tips, check out The Escapist.
