Today, inZOI Studio (a subsidiary of KRAFTON) unveiled the detailed system requirements and optimal settings for the highly anticipated life simulation game for PC. While the minimum requirements are more or less in line with what we've come to expect nowadays (they even require less RAM than Atomfall's), to play at higher graphics presets, you will need a very powerful computer. The High preset even recommends AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which launched just a few months ago to excellent reviews, establishing itself as the best CPU gamers can buy when it comes to the quality/price ratio and its efficiency.

inZOI is powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5 and delivers not only high quality graphics but also high-fidelity simulations, the developer said in an attempt to explain the high requirements.

The studio has prepared eight different preset options to allow players to easily find the best visuals and performance for their system. These presets also confirm the inclusion of NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3, Intel XeSS, and ray tracing. There's no mention of Frame Generation, though.

Minimum Medium Recommended High
Better Graphics NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3/ XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - On Preset - Low NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - On Preset - Medium NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3/ XeSS - Balance Ray Tracing - On Preset - High NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Quality Ray Tracing - On Preset - Ultra High
Better Performance NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Ultra Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Very Low NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Low NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Performance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - Medium NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution / AMD FSR 3 / XeSS - Balance Ray Tracing - Off Preset - High

The Better Graphics mode will focus on delivering the best image quality while playing inZOI at the expense of possible frame drops and longer loading. Better Performance, as you can easily guess, reduces visual quality and optimized simulation speed to increase frame rates.

It's worth reminding that inZOI will launch on March 28 in early access. In the future, the developers will add an automatic system to adjust in-game settings according to the PC specs. Of course, they also plan to further optimize the game for a variety of configurations.

The game will also offer other interesting features, such as official mods (thanks to a partnership with Overwolf) and the AI companions named Smart ZOI, who will be powered by NVIDIA ACE.
