The InZOI Update to mark one year into the game’s Early Access phase is dropping this Thursday, March 26 2026, and will come with a wide variety of fixes and features, some on the newer side and some that have been planned for quite a long time. Many of these features are focused on the simulation itself and the fluidity of it, adding new gameplay features to keep things interesting, and making the world more dynamic and everchanging, both in positive and negative ways.
The InZOI update will also likely automatically disable any mods installed, and while we generally don’t have specific guidance for updates with mods as they tend to be fairly stable and the modding community is quite small, early access can bring a wide range of changes that can often make getting attached to save files a battle.
