inZOI, the big new competitor to The Sims, has already broken the sales record of PUBG publisher Krafton after about a week. The game is still at the beginning of its journey.
What kind of record is this? The life simulation has sold over 1 million copies since its release on March 28, 2025. This is announced by the inZOI team through a post made on their channel on X (formerly Twitter).
You can see a trailer for the game here:
This breaks the previous sales record of publisher Krafton. They are especially known for the battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds (short PUBG). No game from Krafton has reached the million mark this quickly, reports Eurogamer.
For the developers, this milestone still feels “unreal,” they say in the post. They thank the community for their great support:
Your enthusiasm, creativity, feedback, content, and support have brought inZOI to life in a way we could have never imagined.
inZOI launches successfully, but not without flaws
The launch of the life simulation has already been successful: inZOI launched “very positively” on Steam and landed in first place on the top sellers. Even a week later, with double the number of reviews, the good mood apparently shows no signs of fading.
But that does not mean that the game is complete or error-free:
- inZOI is still at the beginning of its early access phase and therefore does not yet contain all the features of the finished main game.
- On the very first day, the developers released an emergency patch for inZOI because you could do something really wrong.
- The inZOI director even apologized to all the players who are disappointed with early access and admits that his game still has many weaknesses.
However, the developers have shown that they are open to feedback. inZOI is foregoing the controversial Denuvo copy protection, after the community had vocally opposed it.
If you prefer spending your time creating Sims (or ZOIs), you can have a lot of fun in the current early access version. The character editor of the virtual life simulation is definitely a highlight. inZOI already offers players a ton of freedom – and it ends exactly as you would expect.
