A highly anticipated PS5 game has been delayed until next year, leaving fans waiting for the time being.
What long-awaited PS5 game has been delayed?
In a recent update on the game’s Steam page, developer inZOI Studio, behind the life simulation game inZOI, revealed that the game’s PlayStation 5 release is being delayed. In the lengthy post, the company reveals that inZOI will now be releasing on PlayStation 5 in the first half of 2027. The game was originally expected to release sometime this year, but according to the developers, the expectations for making a game on PC and console have them holding it back.
“Originally, we hoped to follow a similar approach for the console version. However, as we studied the console player base and platform environment more closely, we realized expectations for console games are often quite different,” wrote the company in its statement. “Console players are generally accustomed to receiving a more complete and polished experience from the very beginning, without major setbacks during the process.”
The delay, according to inZOI Studio, will allow the company to bring its “large, immersive cities full of autonomous Zois to console hardware while carefully optimizing performance for fixed system specifications. We are also redesigning the experience around the DualSense controller rather than keyboard and mouse controls, while considering gameplay on larger TV screens viewed from a greater distance than typical monitors or laptops.”
InZOI is a life simulation game from South Korea that has emerged as a serious competitor to The Sims. It features realistic graphics, with cities inspired by real-world locations.
“InZOI features a fully functional community simulation experience where characters, known as Zois, live their lives with their own free will,” reads an official overview. “Zois perform actions and build relationships based on their personalities and life experiences, leading to unexpected developments such as rumors, trends, and disease.”
InZOI currently features over 250 customization options for hair, skin, physique, outfits, accessories, nail art, and more. There is also a large variety of architectural objects to create your own spaces and structures.
A PS Store page for InZOI is live now, with the ability to wishlist. Price and PS5 Pro support have yet to be confirmed.
