The early access launch for Inzoi is nearly here and there's one really big burning question still unanswered: Will Inzoi be multiplayer? All signs so far point to a strong "maybe" with an emphasis on "eventually," from what I can tell poring over Inzoi details for the last several months, and the most recent information shared during the Inzoi online showcase.
As it gets closer to its early access launch, life sim fans are making a lot of speculative comparisons between Inzoi and The Sims and of course, EA's life sim series has never been multiplayer. Not in the mainline games, at least—or not until the eventual Project Rene. If Inzoi does eventually add some kind of multiplayer, and if it works the way players hope, it will be a real coup. But we don't think you should get your hopes up in this feature being added any time soon.
Will there be multiplayer in Inzoi?
Based on comments made by Inzoi staff, there are probably plans for multiplayer in Inzoi, but they will not be available at its early access launch. The team has been pretty hush about it though, so we've got no idea just how big the studio is thinking with multiplayer or when online features could make it to the game in the future.
Here's what's been said by official Inzoi sources so far:
- From the Inzoi FAQ in its Discord server: "We are currently considering various multiplayer features, such as the ability to meet up with other online players or invite them over to your home. But specific details have not been decided."
- From director assistant Joel Lee during the live Ask Me Anything session in Discord: "We'll have a separate event in the near future where you'll get to hear all the burning questions [...] All the things you really want to know about the game, that will all be revealed in this much larger event. [...] Multiplayer is something we cannot mention right now. That's another topic of discussion that we'll talk about in our later event."
The event referenced there was the Inzoi Global Showcase held on March 18, but there were no definite yes or no about multiplayer being added. It was shared that with the right idea on how it can be implemented into the game, the team would be keen to work on it. However, this probably isn't a feature we can expect to see any time soon.
Remember: Inzoi is being developed by a studio at Krafton, the company that also develops the battle royale game PUBG. From the outside, it seems there's been no shortage of knowledge and tech sharing between Krafton's existing games and Inzoi—like with its announcements about using Nvidia's AI tech for Smart Zois and for AI PUBG teammates.
Even given that, we all know there's not a big red "add multiplayer" button that developers press to make your games magically be online. These things take time, even for one of Krafton's studios. It's clear that while the feature could very well be in the early stages of development now, it's not something we see in this year's roadmap at least.
So when will multiplayer come to Inzoi?
We've seen the content roadmap for the rest of 2025, and there are no plans for multiplayer in the current spread. Since it would be a significant addition to Inzoi, we'd expect it to be one of the biggest features to highlight and share, so since it's not featured right now we highly doubt it will be coming any time soon. Maybe when Inzoi comes out of early access, but not for the time being.
What kind of multiplayer features might Inzoi have?
As mentioned in its FAQ, the most likely possible multiplayer features for Inzoi are things like visiting another player's world or house with your own Zoi. It's also possible that you could join a player's world by controlling a Zoi in one of their families to play together.
What we shouldn't expect from Inzoi multiplayer is any kind of PvP or competitive element even though I just said all that stuff about how it's a Krafton studio. Inzoi's game director Hyungjun Kim has stressed multiple times that despite its realistic graphics, this is not going to be like a GTA game with super realistic driving, guns, or crime simulation. So we probably shouldn't expect gritty competitive elements from any potential multiplayer either. Just your bog standard "come and hang out on my save" routine.
