Fans of life management games like The Sims are getting ready for the release of InZOI, which is about to enter early access on PC (via Steam).

The InZOI early access period has a March 28 release date and a midnight GMT UK launch time. If you can't wait until midnight, you can download the InZOI Creative Studio now, where you'll be able to design a character and home.

The timings were confirmed by InZOI publisher Krafton on X: "Every life becomes a story. The moment has arrived—dive into what awaits you in inZOI. Your story begins on March 28 at 00:00 UTC."

Early access gives fans the ability to play games while they're still being developed. New features, quality of life improvements and content are typically added via updates in regular intervals.

The InZOI early access period launches with three open-world environments to explore and customise. Likewise, players will be able to create their own characters using over 250 customisation options. You'll be able to adjust everything from hair, skin and physique, to outfits, accessories and even nail art.

Outside of individual character customisation, players will be able to design furniture, alter the weather, and even modify streets and houses.

Success in the game revolves around meeting the needs of your characters, including hunger, hygiene, bathroom, fun, social, energy, sleep, and recognition.

Krafton explains more: "InZOI is a life simulation game where the player can alter any aspect of their world to create unique stories and experiences.

"Just like in the real world, you can find jobs to make a living while forming deep relationships through interactions.

"With a complete community simulation of every character acting on their free will, you can experience unexpected events to feel the various emotions life has to offer."

The game is said to feature realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. To ensure you get the best experience possible, publisher Krafton has released the minimum and recommended PC specifications, while also offering various tips to optimise the experience.

It kind of goes without saying, but if you're experiencing performance issues and stuttering frame-rates, then lowering the resolution is advised.

You can also turn off ray-tracing, install to a faster solid state drive, and alter individual graphics settings like background detail and shadow quality.
