Krafton's upcoming Sims competitor InZOI has revealed the PC system requirements for its Early Access release. InZOI is set to launch in Early Access on March 28, and gamers now know exactly what hardware they'll need to be able to run the upcoming life simulator.

Many are raving about InZOI's photorealism, but one impressive feature sets it apart from The Sims and other life simulation games.

In a blog post on Steam, developer Krafton revealed all the PC system specs needed to play InZOI's Early Access on March 28. Hardware requirements were revealed for four different graphical presets, including Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High. With InZOI being developed on Unreal Engine 5, players will need quite a powerful PC to experience InZOI as intended. The minimum graphics cards being the NVIDIA RTX 2060 and AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT are indicators that the game will take quite a bit of power to run.

For system requirements like this, players will be expecting a lot from InZOI's Early Access. The post claims that the game "delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations," with more major InZOI features being confirmed all the time. It seems that Krafton is holding nothing back in its pursuit of cracking the life simulator genre. It should also be noted that these are just the InZOI system requirements for Early Access - they may fluctuate as more content is added and the game becomes more optimized closer to its full release.

There is still more InZOI to be excited about before its March 28 Early Access launch. On March 19, the developer will be hosting an InZOI online showcase, which promises to answer many of fans' biggest questions about the game. It's not to be missed for gamers who are excited to see whether InZOI can really compete with The Sims in the future.
