All Sims fans who dreamed of a multiplayer experience will see their hopes come true with one of the main competitors, the South Korean inZOI.
After 26 years on the Simsfans of the franchise will in a way see one of their dreams come true. Except that it is neither Maxis nor Electronic Arts who will be behind the project. Indeed, it is to the South Korean Krafton that you will soon be able to experience the multiplayer life simulation in inZOI. The details have just been revealed, it’s coming.
inZOI will make this dream come true that The Sims never managed to achieve
To say that The Sims doesn’t offer a multiplayer experience at all would be wrong. Electronic Arts has been focusing on this ambition for several years, notably with the famous Project Rene. Some players have already been able to preview the future mobile game City Life Game with Friends. But this is probably nothing compared to what inZOI is preparing for 2026.
This was one of the first promises of the game since its announcement: to offer a Sims-like experience and to be able to live it in multiplayer. It took time for this to be put in place, in particular through a studio external which is specifically working on this functionality, but that’s it: online is making its appearance this month with the creation of an account for the game and the possibility of creating a session and saving it in the cloud.
The next stage will arrive in March and it should already please the fans. Indeed, next spring, inZOI will welcome the possibility of share a house with several other players for a cooperative gameplay. And this is just the beginning. Krafton plans a full deployment throughout the year to provide as complete and robust an experience as possible:
- January 2026 : opening inZOI accounts and online backup.
- Mars 2026 : house sharing between players and addition of cooperative gameplay.
- June 2026 : possibility for the host of a session to establish control rules and addition of mods to multiplayer.
- October 2026 : opening of large-scale servers, able to accommodate hundreds of players.
- Ensuite : continuation of monitoring with continuity of the research and development phase.
