In inZOI, NPCs will be brought to life using NVIDIA Ace AI technology, offering a more immersive and realistic experience.

Discover how NVIDIA Ace is revolutionizing NPC interactions in inZOI.
inZOI NPCs: Designed with True Autonomy
A Fully Simulated Living World
Developed by Krafton, *inZOI* introduces a new era of life simulation gaming through its integration of NVIDIA Ace AI technology. This advanced system powers highly intelligent NPCs capable of perceiving their surroundings, learning from experiences, and adapting their behaviors accordingly.As showcased in a video titled "NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters" on the official NVIDIA GeForce YouTube channel, these NPCs—referred to as Smart Zoi—are designed to act independently, contributing to a dynamic and lively city environment. When enabled, Smart Zoi actively participate in daily urban life, following personal schedules such as going to work, meeting friends, or exploring the city.
Even when players aren’t directly interacting with them, Smart Zoi continue to influence each other, forming relationships and shaping the world autonomously. For instance, a compassionate Smart Zoi might assist others in need by purchasing food or offering directions. Meanwhile, a sociable character could become a supporter of a street performer, gradually drawing in a crowd.
Thanks to the game’s Thought System, players can peek into an NPC’s mind to understand the reasoning behind their actions. At the end of each day, Smart Zoi reflect on their experiences, which helps shape their future decisions—making every interaction unique and evolving over time.
"A collection of these unique Smart Zois guarantees a city that is vibrant and diverse, fostering unpredictable social interactions that create a rich and dynamic story-driven simulation."
Experience a New Kind of Life Simulation
With NVIDIA Ace driving its AI-powered citizens, inZOI promises an unprecedented level of realism in life sim gameplay. The result is a living, breathing world where NPCs behave like real people—each with their own goals, personalities, and stories.
inZOI is scheduled for Early Access release on March 28, 2025, for PC via Steam. Stay tuned for more updates and in-depth coverage on everything you need to know about inZOI.
