InZOI Reveals Patch Notes for Big Anniversary Update

InZOI is celebrating its first anniversary with a massive new update that brings the life simulation game to version 0.7.0, with some much-needed improvements and plenty of new content for players to check out. InZOI hasn’t hit PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S just yet, but it has been available in early access on Steam for a year now. The life simulation game, published by PUBG studio Krafton, continues to evolve with a steady stream of new updates, and its latest is one of its biggest yet.

For many years, EA has dominated the life simulation genre with its smash hit franchise, The Sims. For over two decades now, The Sims has been the go-to for fans looking for a relaxing sandbox title, but the likes of InZOI and the upcoming Paralives, the latter of which is set to launch later this year, are attempting to give EA some much-needed competition. Cities: Skylines studio Paradox was also looking to get in on the action with Life By You, which had its early access release date delayed for a third time back in 2024 before Paradox ultimately decided to cancel the highly anticipated life simulation game, as Life By You was, apparently, not going to meet the expectations of the studio.

InZOI Releases Big 1st Anniversary Update

Thankfully, InZOI has been a success for Krafton and is now celebrating its first anniversary with a major new update, which is available to download on Steam right now. According to the official patch notes for InZOI‘s 0.7.0 update, which can be found further down this article, Krafton has added two new businesses to InZOI: Flower Shops and Movie Theaters. The former comes with six new farmable flowers, a new ability for Zois that allows them to craft bouquets and flower baskets, a high gardening skill level that can cause flowers to gain special effects, and more. Movie theaters allow Zois to watch four different types of movie genres, use popcorn machines, and run their very own movie theater business.

There are also tons of new features for players to check out, including a new minimap, which can be placed anywhere on the screen and displays player Zois, family members, and property icons. Driving has also been updated, as Zois can now drive vehicles located throughout the city. Family-exclusive parking spaces have been added to certain residential properties, alongside public parking lots, and the ability to ride bicycles. Plus, Zois now have a chance to be arrested for stealing vehicles that belong to other Zois, and smartphones can call or receive calls from other Zois.

Another major feature added to InZOI with today’s update is the new multitasking ability. Zois can now start multitasking if any nearby interactions catch their interest, eat certain food items while walking, and engage in conversations while holding food. Baby Zois have also been improved in the 0.7.0 patch, as Krafton says that their needs have been adjusted. Baby Zois can now also be customized in the Edit Appearance menu. Newborns are now born without teeth and will gain them as they grow, and a new interaction option has been added that allows Zois to quickly clean up after baby Zois.

Today’s update comes as part of Krafton’s continued post-launch support for InZOI and comes just months after the release of its big Island Getaway DLC, which is also available free of charge. The DLC added a brand-new map known as Cahaya, allowing players to explore a tropical island with beaches and resorts. New activities were also added to the game, such as swimming, snorkeling, and more.
