A Discount, You Say? inZOI is on sale for the first time to celebrate the big June update If you recently felt an itch to check in on inZOI, but never actually bought it, Krafton has a deal for you. Image credit: Krafton News by Sherif Saed Contributing Editor Published on June 13, 2025 It seems like things are getting exciting in the world of inZOI once again, after what felt like months of no comms and some patch delays. Earlier this week, the team behind the life sim finally announced a release date for its next update. What was initially billed as the May update missed that window by quite a margin, but was officially given a proper release date - in June - just a few days ago. Update v0.2.0 arrives today, and with it, a discount that could maybe tempt those who have yet to jump in. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. This is inZOI’s first-ever discount since its release back in March. It’s part of a larger sale for publisher Krafton, which also happens to be the company’s first publisher sale on Steam. 17 titles from the publisher’s catalogue are on sale from now until Thursday, June 26. Sale percentages vary, and in inZOI’s case, the discount is a bit meagre, slashing the price by just 10%. Now, the game is still in Early Access, and never had the price of a AAA title to begin with, so it’s not exactly the sort of thing to get a bigger 20-30% off - at least not quite yet. Watch on YouTube The latest inZOI patch introduces official mod support to the game in the form of ModKit, adds same-sex relationships, the ability for Zois to have - and adopt - children, and much more besides. Things are popping off elsewhere in the world of life sims and The Sims-likes, too. Paralives, a highly-anticipated, long-in-development Sims-like, recently set a release date for its Steam Early Access launch. The Sims 4 itself just dropped the first trailer for Enchanted by Nature, the game’s next expansion which is set to arrive in July.

The first major update for the life simulator roadmap has been delayed alongside the planned release of the game’s mod tools as the team aims to “prioritise quality over speed”. In a statement on the game’s Steam page, game director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim explained that the team needs slightly longer to deliver the first major update at the level of quality fans deserve. Now, fans will have to wait until mid-June to get access to the new update. InZoi update and mod tools delayed Kim explained that the team is working to “improve how Zois express emotions and show personality in the June update”. Right now, the team noticed that upgrades for the game’s Zoi emotions are currently not working. “During our work on emotional stability in the April update, we discovered some unexpected side effects,” Kim explained. “Currently, some Zois freeze or fail to reflect emotions through facial expressions or behaviors — this will be addressed in June. We also heard feedback that Zois sometimes lack distinctiveness in their behavior. We’re adding emotion-based conversations and reactions, so that even the same actions vary depending on emotional state.” “The update that was originally planned for the end of May, including the modding system, has been postponed to mid-June, Kim explained on the game’s Steam page. “We felt there were still areas that needed improvement, and we wanted to prioritize quality over speed. Although the schedule has shifted, we are working to deliver content that’s truly satisfying.” Alongside the delayed update, the team gave an update on the game’s ModKit that will allow players to create more advanced mods. “The ModKit is a tool designed to help you create mods. Its purpose is to make it easier to create mod content and allow for more flexible sharing,” the developer explained. “While inZOI includes a built-in CurseForge integration, we’ve broadened support so that creators can share mods in two ways.” Players will be able to upload a mod to CurseForge and install it through the in-game Mod Browser or save a mod locally and add it to the mods folder in the game’s installation folder. When the ModKit is released, players will be able to completely change the game as they want. InZoi Platform(s): PC Genre(s): Simulation Subscribe to our newsletters!
